While Kubernetes has greatly simplified the task of deploying containerized applications, managing this orchestration framework on a daily basis can still be a complex undertaking. With this practical book, site reliability and DevOps engineers will learn how to build, operate, manage, and upgrade a Kubernetes cluster—whether it resides on cloud infrastructure or on-premises.

Brendan Burns, cofounder of Kubernetes, and Craig Tracey, staff field engineer at Heptio, dissect how Kubernetes works internally and demonstrate ways to maintain, adjust, and improve the cluster to suit your particular use case. You’ll learn how to make architectural choices for designing a cluster, managing access control, monitoring and alerting, and upgrading Kubernetes. Dive in and discover how to take full advantage of this orchestration framework’s capabilities.

Learn how your cluster operates, how developers use it to deploy applications, and how Kubernetes can facilitate a developer’s job
Adjust, secure, and tune your cluster by understanding Kubernetes APIs and configuration options
Detect cluster-level problems early and learn the steps necessary to respond and recover quickly
Determine how and when to add libraries, tools, and platforms that build on, extend, or otherwise improve a Kubernetes cluster

Brendan Burns is a co-founder of the Kubernetes open source container management platform. He is currently a distinguished engineer at Microsoft running the Azure Resource Manager and Azure Container Service teams. Before Microsoft he was a senior staff engineer on the Google Cloud Platform. Prior to working in Cloud he developed web search backends that helped power Google search. Prior to that he was a Professor of Computer Science at Union College in Schenectady, NY. Brendan received a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a BA from Williams College.

For the last 20 years Craig Tracey has helped build the infrastructure that powers the Internet. In this time he has had the opportunity to develop everything from kernel device drivers, to massive-scale cloud storage services, and even a few distributed compute platforms. Now as a Software Engineer turned Field Engineer at Heptio, he helps organizations accelerate their adoption of Kubernetes by teaching the principles of cloud native architectures through code.

Based in Boston, Massachusetts, in his free time, Craig loves playing hockey and exploring Europe. Craig holds a BS in Computer Science from Providence College.
