▶Book Description
Kubernetes is an open source orchestration platform to manage containers in a cluster environment. With Kubernetes, you can configure and deploy containerized applications easily. This book gives you a quick brush up on how Kubernetes works with containers, and an overview of main Kubernetes concepts, such as Pods, Deployments, Services and etc.
This book explains how to create Kubernetes clusters and run applications with proper authentication and authorization configurations. With real-world recipes, you'll learn how to create high availability Kubernetes clusters on AWS, GCP and in on-premise datacenters with proper logging and monitoring setup. You'll also learn some useful tips about how to build a continuous delivery pipeline for your application. Upon completion of this book, you will be able to use Kubernetes in production and will have a better understanding of how to manage containers using Kubernetes.
▶What You Will Learn
⦁ Build your own container cluster
⦁ Deploy and manage highly scalable, containerized applications with Kubernetes
⦁ Build high-availability Kubernetes clusters
⦁ Build a continuous delivery pipeline for your application
⦁ Track metrics and logs for every container running in your cluster
⦁ Streamline the way you deploy and manage your applications with large-scale container orchestration
▶Key Features
⦁ Use containers to manage, scale and orchestrate apps in your organization
⦁ Transform the latest concept of Kubernetes 1.10 into examples

▶Who This Book Is For
This book is for system administrators, developers, DevOps engineers, or any stakeholder who wants to understand how Kubernetes works using a recipe-based approach. Basic knowledge of Kubernetes and Containers is required.
▶What this book covers
⦁ Chapter 1, Building Your Own Kubernetes Cluster, explains how to build your own Kubernetes cluster with various deployment tools and run your first container on it.
⦁ Chapter 2, Walking through Kubernetes Concepts, covers both basic and advanced concepts we need to know about Kubernetes. Then, you will learn how to combine them to create Kubernetes objects by writing and applying configuration files.
⦁ Chapter 3, Playing with Containers, explains how to scale your containers up and down and perform rolling updates without affecting application availability. Furthermore, you will learn how deploy containers for dealing with different application workloads. It will also walk you through best practices of configuration files.
⦁ Chapter 4, Building High-Availability Clusters, provides information on how to build High Availability Kubernetes master and etcd. This will prevent Kubernetes components from being the single point of failure.
⦁ Chapter 5, Building Continuous Delivery Pipelines, talks about how to integrate Kubernetes into an existing Continuous Delivery pipeline with Jenkins and private Docker registry.
⦁ Chapter 6, Building Kubernetes on AWS, walks you through AWS fundamentals. You will learn how to build a Kuberentes cluster on AWS in few minutes.
⦁ Chapter 7, Building Kubernetes on GCP, leads you to the Google Cloud Platform world. You will learn the GCP essentials and how to launch a managed, production-ready Kubernetes cluster with just a few clicks.
⦁ Chapter 8, Advanced Cluster Administration, talks about important resource management in Kubernetes. This chapter also goes through other important cluster administration, such as Kubernetes dashboard, authentication, and authorization.
⦁ Chapter 9, Logging and Monitoring, explains how to collect both system and application logs in Kubernetes by using Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (ELK). You will also learn how to leverage Heapster, InfluxDB, and Grafana to monitor your Kubernetes cluster.
