Mastering Kubernetes

Creating Kubernetes Clusters

In the previous chapter, we learned what Kubernetes is all about, how it is designed, what concepts it supports, its architecture, and the various container runtimes it supports.

Creating a Kubernetes cluster from scratch is a non-trivial task. There are many options and tools to select from. There are many factors to consider. In this chapter, we will roll our sleeves up and build some Kubernetes clusters using Minikube, KinD, and k3d. We will discuss and evaluate other tools such as Kubeadm and Kubespray. We will also look into deployment environments such as local, cloud, and bare metal. The topics we will cover are as follows:

  • Getting ready for your first cluster
  • Creating a single-node cluster with Minikube
  • Creating a multi-node cluster with KinD
  • Creating a multi-node cluster using k3d
  • Creating clusters in the cloud
  • Creating bare-metal clusters from scratch
  • Reviewing other options for creating Kubernetes clusters

At the end of this chapter, you will have a solid understanding of the various options to create Kubernetes clusters and knowledge of the best-of-breed tools to support the creation of Kubernetes clusters, and you will also build several clusters, both single-node and multi-node.

Key benefits

  • Master Kubernetes architecture and design to build, deploy, and secure large-scale distributed systems
  • Learn advanced concepts like autoscaling, multi-cluster management, serverless computing, service meshes and policy engines
  • Explore Kubernetes 1.25 and its rich ecosystem of tools like Kubectl, Krew, K9s, Lens, and Helm

Description

The fourth edition of the bestseller Mastering Kubernetes includes the most recent tools and code to enable you to learn the latest features of Kubernetes 1.25. This book contains a thorough exploration of complex concepts and best practices to help you master the skills of designing and deploying large-scale distributed systems on Kubernetes clusters. You’ll learn how to run complex stateless and stateful microservices on Kubernetes, including advanced features such as horizontal pod autoscaling, rolling updates, resource quotas, and persistent storage backends. In addition, you’ll understand how to utilize serverless computing and service meshes. Further, two new chapters have been added. “Governing Kubernetes” covers the problem of policy management, how admission control addresses it, and how policy engines provide a powerful governance solution. “Running Kubernetes in Production” shows you what it takes to run Kubernetes at scale across multiple cloud providers, multiple geographical regions, and multiple clusters, and it also explains how to handle topics such as upgrades, capacity planning, dealing with cloud provider limits/quotas, and cost management. By the end of this Kubernetes book, you’ll have a strong understanding of, and hands-on experience with, a wide range of Kubernetes capabilities.

Who is this book for?

If you're a system administrator or cloud developer who wants to become comfortable with Kubernetes and would like to master its advanced features, then this book is for you. Software and DevOps engineers with a working knowledge of Kubernetes, as well as technical managers of Kubernetes-based systems, will also find this book useful. Those deciding on whether to migrate to Kubernetes and are curious about its inner workings will find plenty of answers here as well. Basic familiarity with networking concepts will prove beneficial.

What you will learn

  • Learn how to govern Kubernetes using policy engines
  • Learn what it takes to run Kubernetes in production and at scale
  • Build and run stateful applications and complex microservices
  • Master Kubernetes networking with services, Ingress objects, load balancers, and service meshes

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
