The primary audience for this book is Kubernetes DevOps architects and engineers who need to integrate Windows container workloads into their Kubernetes clusters. If you are a Windows application (especially .NET Framework) developer and you haven't used Kubernetes yet, this book is also for you! In addition to the strategies regarding the deployment of hybrid Windows/Linux Kubernetes clusters, we cover the fundamental concepts behind Kubernetes and how they map to the Windows environment. And if you are interested in migrating existing .NET Framework applications to Windows Server containers running on Kubernetes, you will definitely find guidance in terms of how to approach this problem.

Overview of this book
With the adoption of Windows containers in Kubernetes, you can now fully leverage the flexibility and robustness of the Kubernetes container orchestration system in the Windows ecosystem. This support will enable you to create new Windows applications and migrate existing ones to the cloud-native stack with the same ease as for Linux-oriented cloud applications.
This practical guide takes you through the key concepts involved in packaging Windows-distributed applications into containers and orchestrating these using Kubernetes. You'll also understand the current limitations of Windows support in Kubernetes. As you advance, you'll gain hands-on experience deploying a fully functional hybrid Linux/Windows Kubernetes cluster for development, and explore production scenarios in on-premises and cloud environments, such as Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service.
By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed with containerization, microservices architecture, and the critical considerations for running Kubernetes in production environments successfully.
