Overview of this book

Kubernetes is a popular open source orchestration platform for managing containers in a cluster environment. With this Kubernetes cookbook, you’ll learn how to implement Kubernetes using a recipe-based approach. The book will prepare you to create highly available Kubernetes clusters on multiple clouds such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Azure, Alibaba, and on-premises data centers. Starting with recipes for installing and configuring Kubernetes instances, you’ll discover how to work with Kubernetes clients, services, and key metadata. You’ll then learn how to build continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for your applications, and understand various methods to manage containers. As you advance, you’ll delve into Kubernetes' integration with Docker and Jenkins, and even perform a batch process and configure data volumes. You’ll get to grips with methods for scaling, security, monitoring, logging, and troubleshooting. Additionally, this book will take you through the latest updates in Kubernetes, including volume snapshots, creating high availability clusters with kops, running workload operators, new inclusions around kubectl and more. By the end of this book, you’ll have developed the skills required to implement Kubernetes in production and manage containers proficiently.

Configuring and managing Kubernetes clusters with Rancher

Rancher is a container management platform with the flexibility to create Kubernetes clusters with Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE) or cloud-based Kubernetes services, such as GKE, AKS, and EKS, which we discussed in the previous recipes.

In this section, we will cover recipes for configuring Rancher so that we can deploy and manage Kubernetes services.

Getting ready

Rancher can be installed on Ubuntu, RHEL/CentOS, RancherOS, or even on Windows Server. You can bring up Rancher Server in a high availability configuration or a single node. Refer to the See also... section for links to the alternative installation instructions. In this recipe, we will run Rancher on a single node.

How to do it…

This section will take you through how to configure and manage Kubernetes clusters with Rancher. To that end, this section is further divided into the following subsections to make this process easier:
