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.

Summary


In this chapter, we reviewed what makes up a container, how to store and share containers on the internet, and some of the commands you can use to create your own containers. We then used that knowledge to walk through an example in Python and another in Node.js, creating simple web-based services in both, building those into container images, and running them within Kubernetes. In our next chapter, we will dive deeper into how to interact with your code once it's been packaged into a container and will explore tips for taking full advantage of containers and Kubernetes during your development.
