Getting Started with Kubernetes

Schedule and run application containers using KubernetesKey FeaturesGet to grips with a wide range of tools to monitor and secure your deploymentsManage your container clusters and networks using KubernetesGet well-versed with the fundamentals of KubernetesBook DescriptionKubernetes 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.What you will learnDownload, install, and configure the Kubernetes code baseSet up and access monitoring and logging for Kubernetes clustersSet up external access to applications running in the clusterLearn how to manage and scale kubernetes with hosted platforms on AWS, Azure, and GCPRun multiple clusters and manage them from a single control planeDiscover top tools for deploying and managing a Kubernetes clusterLearn how to get production ready and harden Kubernetes operations, networking, and storageWho this book is forGetting Started with Kubernetes is for developers, system administrators, and DevOps engineers who want to automate the deployment process and scale their applications.
