Overview of this book

Kubernetes is an open source orchestration platform to manage containers in a cluster environment. With Kubernetes, you can configure and deploy containerized applications easily. This book gives you a quick brush up on how Kubernetes works with containers, and an overview of main Kubernetes concepts, such as Pods, Deployments, Services and etc. This book explains how to create Kubernetes clusters and run applications with proper authentication and authorization configurations. With real-world recipes, you'll learn how to create high availability Kubernetes clusters on AWS, GCP and in on-premise datacenters with proper logging and monitoring setup. You'll also learn some useful tips about how to build a continuous delivery pipeline for your application. Upon completion of this book, you will be able to use Kubernetes in production and will have a better understanding of how to manage containers using Kubernetes.

Playing with WebUI

Kubernetes has a WebUI that visualizes the status of resources and machines, and also works as an additional interface for managing your application without command lines. In this recipe, we are going to introduce Kubernetes dashboard.

Getting ready

Kubernetes dashboard (https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard) is like a server-side application. In the beginning, just make sure you have a healthy Kubernetes cluster running, and we will go through the installation and related setup in the coming pages. Since the dashboard will be accessed by the browser, we can use a minikube-booted, laptop-running Kubernetes system, and reduce procedures for forwarding network ports or setting firewall rules.
