Kubernetes for Developers

By: Joseph Heck

Overview of this book

Kubernetes is documented and typically approached from the perspective of someone running software that has already been built. Kubernetes may also be used to enhance the development process, enabling more consistent testing and analysis of code to help developers verify not only its correctness, but also its efficiency. This book introduces key Kubernetes concepts, coupled with examples of how to deploy and use them with a bit of Node.js and Python example code, so that you can quickly replicate and use that knowledge. You will begin by setting up Kubernetes to help you develop and package your code. We walk you through the setup and installation process before working with Kubernetes in the development environment. We then delve into concepts such as automating your build process, autonomic computing, debugging, and integration testing. This book covers all the concepts required for a developer to work with Kubernetes. By the end of this book, you will be in a position to use Kubernetes in development ecosystems.

Interacting with the Kubernetes project


In discussing all these projects, the one where you can get the most information about how to work with Kubernetes is Kubernetes itself. The project hosts a website that includes the formal documentation, a blog, a community calendar, tutorials, and more at https://kubernetes.io/:

This site makes a great jumping off point to get more information, but certainly isn't the only resource available.

The Kubernetes project is really quite large, so large that it is nearly impossible for any single person to track all of the efforts, evolution, projects, and interests that are going on within the project. To attempt to provide guidance, the Kubernetes project has set itself up with a number of groups to focus on these interests in the form of Special Interest Groups, or SIGs. These groups are the semi-formal subprojects of Kubernetes, and each focuses on some specific subset of Kubernetes. Not surprisingly, many of these SIGs overlap in specifics, and it is...
