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.

Users can control Kubernetes clusters via the kubectl command; it supports local and remote execution. However, some administrators or operators may need to integrate a program to control the Kubernetes cluster.

Kubernetes has a RESTful API that controls Kubernetes clusters via an API, similar to the kubectl command. Let's learn how to manage Kubernetes resources by submitting API requests.

Getting ready

In this recipe, to bypass additional network settings and having to verify permissions, we will demonstrate the a minikube-created cluster with a Kubernetes proxy: it is easy to create a Kubernetes cluster on the host, and enable local proximity to an API server with a proxy entry.
