Kubernetes - A Complete DevOps Cookbook

By: Murat 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.

Creating a CI/CD pipeline in Jenkins X

Jenkins X is a fairly new open source solution that extends the Jenkins ecosystem and solves the problem of automating CI/CD in the cloud using Kubernetes.

In this section, we will learn how to get your application as a pipeline into Jenkins X, which you will have deployed by following the Deploying and managing the life cycle of Jenkins X recipe instructions in Chapter 2, Operating Applications on Kubernetes. With that, you will learn how to create a CI/CD pipeline with automated GitOps and promote an application from staging to production, all by using simple commands.

Getting ready

Make sure you have followed the instructions in Chapter 2, Operating Applications on Kubernetes, in the Deploying and managing the life cycle of Jenkins X recipe and have a functional Kubernetes cluster with a Jenkins X deployment ready. You can find the instructions to install helm in that chapter as well.

In the following recipe, you will learn how to create a pipeline...
