In this chapter, we demonstrated several commonly used, advanced features of Kubernetes. First, you learned what the purpose of namespaces in Kubernetes is and how to manage them. Then, we introduced readiness, liveness, and startup probes, which are used for monitoring the life cycle of Pod containers—and we provided you with a set of recommended practices when working with probes and how to avoid common pitfalls. The next step was learning how to specify Pod resource requests and limits and how to combine this with autoscaling using the HPA. To inject configuration data (including sensitive passwords) into our application, we used ConfigMaps and Secrets. On top of that, we have demonstrated how to use PersistentVolumes (backed by the azureDisk Volume plugin) in StatefulSets running on Windows nodes. And lastly, you learned how to approach rolling updates for Deployment...

Overview of this book
With the adoption of Windows containers in Kubernetes, you can now fully leverage the flexibility and robustness of the Kubernetes container orchestration system in the Windows ecosystem. This support will enable you to create new Windows applications and migrate existing ones to the cloud-native stack with the same ease as for Linux-oriented cloud applications.
This practical guide takes you through the key concepts involved in packaging Windows-distributed applications into containers and orchestrating these using Kubernetes. You'll also understand the current limitations of Windows support in Kubernetes. As you advance, you'll gain hands-on experience deploying a fully functional hybrid Linux/Windows Kubernetes cluster for development, and explore production scenarios in on-premises and cloud environments, such as Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service.
By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed with containerization, microservices architecture, and the critical considerations for running Kubernetes in production environments successfully.
