Overview of this book

Containerization has changed the DevOps game completely, with Docker and Kubernetes playing important roles in altering the flow of app creation and deployment. This book will help you acquire the knowledge and tools required to integrate Kubernetes clusters in an enterprise environment. The book begins by introducing you to Docker and Kubernetes fundamentals, including a review of basic Kubernetes objects. You’ll then get to grips with containerization and understand its core functionalities, including how to create ephemeral multinode clusters using kind. As you make progress, you’ll learn about cluster architecture, Kubernetes cluster deployment, and cluster management, and get started with application deployment. Moving on, you’ll find out how to integrate your container to a cloud platform and integrate tools including MetalLB, externalDNS, OpenID connect (OIDC), pod security policies (PSPs), Open Policy Agent (OPA), Falco, and Velero. Finally, you will discover how to deploy an entire platform to the cloud using continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). By the end of this Kubernetes book, you will have learned how to create development clusters for testing applications and Kubernetes components, and be able to secure and audit a cluster by implementing various open-source solutions including OpenUnison, OPA, Falco, Kibana, and Velero.

Exploring Docker networking

In this section, we will discuss the networking options that are available in Docker and how you can use them to expose your containers to external users and systems. Docker includes various networking options to connect containers to your network, and if none of the included networking options fit your requirements, you can select from a number of third-party networking add-ons that offer features that may not be included in the base networking stack. By default, Docker networking focuses on a single host, but for more complex use cases, it includes networking features to facilitate cross-host networking by using Docker Swarm. Since the industry has moved away from using Docker Swarm to other offerings such as Kubernetes, this chapter will focus on single-host networking.

To avoid potential frustration when you expose containers, you should have a good understanding of how IP uses ports for communication. Many of you may know IP well, but we thought...
