Kubernetes Cookbook: Building Cloud Native Applications

Kubernetes is the de facto standard for container orchestration and distributed applications management across a microservices framework. With this practical cookbook, you'll learn hands-on Kubernetes recipes for automating the deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across clusters of hosts.

In this fully updated second edition, Sameer Naik, SÃ?©bastien Goasguen, and Jonathan Michaux from TriggerMesh provide a problem-solution-discussion format with easy lookups to help you find the detailed answers you need—fast. Kubernetes lets you deploy your applications quickly and predictably, so you can efficiently respond to customer demand. This cookbook delivers the essential knowledge that developers and system administrators need to get there.

Recipes in this cookbook focus on:

• Creating a Kubernetes cluster
• Using the Kubernetes command-line interface
• Managing fundamental workload types
• Working with services
• Exploring the Kubernetes API
• Managing stateful and non-cloud-native apps
• Working with volumes and configuration data
• Cluster-level and application-level scaling
• Securing your applications
• Monitoring and logging
• Maintenance and troubleshooting
