Kubernetes- A Complete DevOps Cookbook

Leverage Kubernetes and container architecture to successfully run production-ready workloads

Key Features

• Implement Kubernetes to orchestrate and scale applications proficiently
• Leverage the latest features of Kubernetes to resolve common as well as complex problems in a cloud-native environment
• Gain hands-on experience in securing, monitoring, and troubleshooting your application

Book Description

Kubernetes is a popular open source orchestration platform for managing containers in a cluster environment. With this Kubernetes cookbook, you'll learn how to implement Kubernetes using a recipe-based approach. The book will prepare you to create highly available Kubernetes clusters on multiple clouds such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Azure, Alibaba, and on-premises data centers.

Starting with recipes for installing and configuring Kubernetes instances, you'll discover how to work with Kubernetes clients, services, and key metadata. You'll then learn how to build continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for your applications, and understand various methods to manage containers. As you advance, you'll delve into Kubernetes' integration with Docker and Jenkins, and even perform a batch process and configure data volumes. You'll get to grips with methods for scaling, security, monitoring, logging, and troubleshooting. Additionally, this book will take you through the latest updates in Kubernetes, including volume snapshots, creating high availability clusters with kops, running workload operators, new inclusions around kubectl and more.

By the end of this book, you'll have developed the skills required to implement Kubernetes in production and manage containers proficiently.

What you will learn

• Deploy cloud-native applications on Kubernetes
• Automate testing in the DevOps workflow
• Discover and troubleshoot common storage issues
• Dynamically scale containerized services to manage fluctuating traffic needs
