The Kubernetes Bible

Chapter 1: Kubernetes Fundamentals

Welcome to The Kubernetes Bible. This is the first chapter of this book, and I'm happy to accompany you on your journey with Kubernetes. If you are working in the software development industry, you have probably heard about Kubernetes. This is normal because the popularity of Kubernetes has grown a lot in recent years.

Built by Google, Kubernetes is the leading container orchestrator solution in terms of popularity and adoption: it's the tool you need if you are looking for a solution to manage containerized applications in production at scale, whether it's on-premises or on a public cloud. Be focused on the word. Deploying and managing containers at scale is extremely difficult because, by default, container engines such as Docker do not provide any way on their own to maintain the availability and scalability of containers at scale.

Kubernetes first emerged as a Google project, and they put a lot of effort into building a solution to deploy a huge number of containers on their massively distributed infrastructure. By adopting Kubernetes as part of your stack, you'll get an open source platform that was built by one of the biggest companies on the internet, with the most critical needs in terms of stability.

Although Kubernetes can be used with a lot of different container runtimes, this book is going to focus on the Kubernetes + Docker combination.

Perhaps you are already using Docker on a daily basis, but the world of container orchestration might be completely unknown to you. It is even possible that you do not even see the benefits of using such technology because everything looks fine to you with just raw Docker. That's why, in this first chapter, we're not going to look at Kubernetes in detail. Instead, we will focus on explaining what Kubernetes is and how it can help you to manage your Docker containers in production. It will be easier for you to learn a new technology if you already understand why it was built.

In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:

  • Understanding monoliths and microservices
  • Understanding containers and Docker
  • What is Kubernetes?
  • How can Kubernetes help you to manage Docker containers?
  • What problem does Kubernetes solve?
  • Understanding the story of Kubernetes

Key benefits

  • Design and deploy large clusters on various cloud platforms
  • Explore containerized application deployment, debugging, and recovery with the latest Kubernetes version 1.19
  • Become well-versed with advanced Kubernetes topics such as traffic routing or Pod autoscaling and scheduling

Description

With its broad adoption across various industries, Kubernetes is helping engineers with the orchestration and automation of container deployments on a large scale, making it the leading container orchestration system and the most popular choice for running containerized applications. This Kubernetes book starts with an introduction to Kubernetes and containerization, covering the setup of your local development environment and the roles of the most important Kubernetes components. Along with covering the core concepts necessary to make the most of your infrastructure, this book will also help you get acquainted with the fundamentals of Kubernetes. As you advance, you'll learn how to manage Kubernetes clusters on cloud platforms, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and develop and deploy real-world applications in Kubernetes using practical examples. Additionally, you'll get to grips with managing microservices along with best practices. By the end of this book, you'll be equipped with battle-tested knowledge of advanced Kubernetes topics, such as scheduling of Pods and managing incoming traffic to the cluster, and be ready to work with Kubernetes on cloud platforms.

Who is this book for?

This book is for software developers and DevOps engineers looking to understand how to work with Kubernetes for orchestrating containerized applications and services in the cloud. Prior experience with designing software running in operating system containers, as well as a general background in DevOps best practices, will be helpful. Basic knowledge of Kubernetes, Docker, and leading cloud service providers assist with grasping the concepts covered easily.

What you will learn

  • Manage containerized applications with Kubernetes
  • Understand Kubernetes architecture and the responsibilities of each component
  • Set up Kubernetes on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, Google Kubernetes Engine, and Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service
  • Deploy cloud applications such as Prometheus and Elasticsearch using Helm charts
  • Discover advanced techniques for Pod scheduling and auto-scaling the cluster
  • Understand possible approaches to traffic routing in Kubernetes

Die Autoren haben keine Mühe gescheut, ein grossartiges und umfassendes Werk über Kubernetes zu erstellen. Die Angehensweise ist didaktisch klug und gut nachvollziehbar. Das Buch eignet isch vor allem für diejenigen unter Euch, die schon etwas Erfahrung mit Docker Container und eventuell sogar mit Kubernetes haben, und nun Ihr wissen vertiefen wollen. Dabei sind vor allem Entwickler, DevOps und Operations Ingenieure angesprochen. Die Autoren haben darauf geachtet, alle Elemente, die sie vorstellen mit nachvollziehbaren Beispielen zu untermauern. Besonders toll ist auch, dass die vollständig gemanagten hosted Kubernetes Services von den grossen drei Cloud Anbietern vollständig beschrieben werden. Ist es doch in der Praxis so, dass es für die meisten Unternehmen sinnlos ist einen Kubernetes Cluster selber zu erstellen und verwalten. Das bring der Firma gar keinen Mehrwert. Lieber sollen sich dessen Entwickler, DevOps und Operations Ingenieure darauf konzentrieren gute Anwendung zu schreiben, die dann auf einem fully managed Cluster ausgeführt werden.Ich werde dieses Buch als persönliches Nachschlagewerk gerne weiter verwenden und es auch meinen Mitarbeitern herzlich empfehlen.Als Autor von mehreren Büchern über Docker und Kubernetes habe ich Hochachtung für die hochwertige Qualität, die die Autoren geliefert haben. Als Experte für Docker und Kubernetes habe sogar ich noch einige neue Dinge gelernt. Ich kann also das Buch wärmstens empfehlen.

680 pages from basics to advanced Kubernetes topics. I am CKA/S so skip some basics in the beginning and still found many useful info inside. It covers Kubernetes services in ALL 3 MAJOR CLOUDS, e.g. AWS EKS, GCP GKE and Azure AKS. In particular, I like most: Azure AD RBAC for AKS, Azure Application Gateway Ingress controller for AKS, Multi-container patterns, Difference btw. Labels and Annotations, How to spin up EKS, AKS and GKE and enable auto-scaling, ...etc. Good "Bible" type of reference on your desktop to look up this and that for different cloud Kubernetes services !

This book covers everything you need to know about Kubernetes. I have been using Kubernetes for some time, so I skipped the initial chapters. One of the major highlights of the book does not only cover the major cloud providers AWS, GCP, and Azure, but it also helps you get started with tools like kind, which helps you set up your Kubernetes cluster in minutes. I really like chapters like Running Production Grade Kubernetes Workloads which are useful when setting up a production Kubernetes cluster. Also, the authors did a great job in explaining complex topics like Statefulsets.Some of the improvements I want to see in the book is the introduction to the Docker chapter. This Bible assumes people should know Docker's knowledge, but a good introductory chapter will help new readers. Also, concepts like jobs and cronjobs are introduced early, which I believe deserves its own chapter, and a new reader will give sometime before digesting this new concept.Overall I will highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to expand its Kubernetes knowledge.

This is literally the only book you will need to start from scratch working with K8s and be ready to work with Kubernetes on cloud platforms. Starting with containerized app management explaining the responsibilities of each component in K8s, setting up Amazon EKS, Google GKE, and Microsoft AKS, deploying with Helm Charts, working with advanced techniques for Pod scheduling and auto-scaling the cluster as well as traffic routing and many more.I highly recommend this book to Cloud Architects, Migration or Solution Developers that want to make an extra step in DevOps and understand not only how to implement but also what needs to be monitored from a CloudOps perspective.

This book was one of the best that I read about kubernetes. And I have been reading a lot about it. It is true that it has many typos and it should be upgraded but the material is really great. The authors should upgrade it. Really great!
