Kubernetes - A Complete DevOps Cookbook

By: Karslioglu

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.

Using a managed Kubernetes logging service

Running an EFK stack to store and maintain Kubernetes logs in your cluster is useful until something goes wrong with your cluster. It is recommended that you keep your log management system and production cluster separate so that you have access in case of cluster failure.

In this section, we will learn how to use some of the freely available SaaS solutions to keep your cluster logs accessible, even if your cluster is not available.

Getting ready

Make sure you have a Kubernetes cluster ready and kubectl configured to manage the cluster resources.

How to do it…
