Overview of this book

With its broad adoption across various industries, Kubernetes is helping engineers with the orchestration and automation of container deployments on a large scale, making it the leading container orchestration system and the most popular choice for running containerized applications. This Kubernetes book starts with an introduction to Kubernetes and containerization, covering the setup of your local development environment and the roles of the most important Kubernetes components. Along with covering the core concepts necessary to make the most of your infrastructure, this book will also help you get acquainted with the fundamentals of Kubernetes. As you advance, you'll learn how to manage Kubernetes clusters on cloud platforms, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and develop and deploy real-world applications in Kubernetes using practical examples. Additionally, you'll get to grips with managing microservices along with best practices. By the end of this book, you'll be equipped with battle-tested knowledge of advanced Kubernetes topics, such as scheduling of Pods and managing incoming traffic to the cluster, and be ready to work with Kubernetes on cloud platforms.

Technical requirements

For this chapter, you will need the following:

  • A Kubernetes cluster deployed. We recommend using a multi-node, cloud-based Kubernetes cluster. It is possible to run Helm on minikube, but you may encounter limitations as not all functionalities of real clusters are supported.
  • The Kubernetes command-line interface (CLI) (kubectl) installed on your local machine and configured to manage your Kubernetes cluster.

Basic Kubernetes cluster deployment (local and cloud-based) and kubectl installation have been covered in Chapter 3, Installing Your First Kubernetes Cluster.

The following previous chapters can give you an overview of how to deploy a fully functional Kubernetes cluster on different cloud platforms:

  • Chapter 14, Kubernetes Clusters on Google Kubernetes Engine
  • Chapter 15, Launching a Kubernetes Cluster on Amazon Web Services with the Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service
  • Chapter 16, Kubernetes Cluster on Microsoft Azure with...
