Master the skills of designing and deploying large clusters on various cloud platforms

Description

Kubernetes is an open source system to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. If you are running more than just a few containers or want automated management of your containers, you need Kubernetes. This book mainly focuses on the advanced management of Kubernetes clusters. It covers problems that arise when you start using container orchestration in production. We start by giving you an overview of the guiding principles in Kubernetes design and show you the best practises in the fields of security, high availability, and cluster federation. You will discover how to run complex stateful microservices on Kubernetes including advanced features as horizontal pod autoscaling, rolling updates, resource quotas, and persistent storage back ends. Using real-world use cases, we explain the options for network configuration and provides guidelines on how to set up, operate, and troubleshoot various Kubernetes networking plugins. Finally, we cover custom resource development and utilization in automation and maintenance workflows. By the end of this book, you’ll know everything you need to know to go from intermediate to advanced level.

What you will learn

* Architect a robust Kubernetes cluster for long-time operation

* Discover the advantages of running Kubernetes on GCE, AWS, Azure, and bare metal

* See the identity model of Kubernetes and options for cluster federation

* Monitor and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters and run a highly available Kubernetes

* Create and configure custom Kubernetes resources and use third-party resources in your automation workflows

* Discover the art of running complex stateful applications in your container environment

* Deliver applications as standard packages

great book to learn Kubernetes if you are a novice

Y. Pant Feb 17, 2019

Coming from an architectural background, I wanted to see the overall architecture of Kubernetes at 5000 ft in diagrams (in addition to word description). I have read many books over the last few weeks - most of them provided great description of the capabilities of Kubernetes. However this book provided a great contextual diagram about how these individual pieces fitted together (a diagram is worth many thousand words).

Mastering Kubernetes is a great book. It is both comprehensive and approachable. It covers Kubernetes from the very basics of working with pods and containers, and all the way through very advanced concepts like cluster federation, API usage, plugins and extensions. This is the only Kubernetes book that is up to date with the most recent additions to Kubernetes. I appreciate the attention to detail and how the author explains the concepts and the big picture first and then dives in into low-level detail and examples.

This is one (if not THE one) of the best books to learn and familiarize yourself with Kubernetes. It's not only talking about Kubernetes which runs on a cloud like GCP, it also teaches you how to set it on your desktop, how to build it with few VM's, how to expose services (on places that you're not getting the cloud's provider external IP automatically), what's the competition, it also talks about other container formats (rkt, etc), how to monitor Kubernetes, how to write the YAML/JSON files etc.Looking forward for 2nd edition for this book (it talks about Kubernetes 1.4.x, we're in 1.7.x) ;)
