Getting Started with Kubernetes - Third Edition

By: Jonathan Baier, Jesse White

Overview of this book

Kubernetes has continued to grow and achieve broad adoption across various industries, helping you to orchestrate and automate container deployments on a massive scale. Based on the recent release of Kubernetes 1.12, Getting Started with Kubernetes gives you a complete understanding of how to install a Kubernetes cluster. The book focuses on core Kubernetes constructs, such as pods, services, replica sets, replication controllers, and labels. You will understand cluster-level networking in Kubernetes, and learn to set up external access to applications running in the cluster. As you make your way through the book, you'll understand how to manage deployments and perform updates with minimal downtime. In addition to this, you will explore operational aspects of Kubernetes , such as monitoring and logging, later moving on to advanced concepts such as container security and cluster federation. You'll get to grips with integrating your build pipeline and deployments within a Kubernetes cluster, and be able to understand and interact with open source projects. In the concluding chapters, you'll orchestrate updates behind the scenes, avoid downtime on your cluster, and deal with underlying cloud provider instability within your cluster. By the end of this book, you'll have a complete understanding of the Kubernetes platform and will start deploying applications on it.

CNCF


A second initiative that also has widespread industry acceptance is the CNCF. While still focused on containerized workloads, the CNCF operates a bit higher up the stack, at the application design level.

 

 

Its purpose is to provide a standard set of tools and technologies to build, operate, and orchestrate cloud-native application stacks. Cloud has given us access to a variety of new technologies and practices that can improve and evolve our classic software designs. The CNCF is also particularly focused on the new paradigm of microservice-oriented development.

As a founding participant in the CNCF, Google has donated the Kubernetes open source project. The goal will be to increase interoperability in the ecosystem and support better integration with projects. The CNCF already hosts a variety of projects on orchestration, logging, monitoring, tracing, and application resilience.
