Maximizing the potential of Kubernetes
This section addresses maximizing Kubernetes’ potential by exploring its extensibility with custom resources, integration with cloud-native ecosystems, continuous deployment, advanced scheduling, container runtime optimization, data management, hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, and the adoption of GitOps for effective Kubernetes management.
Harnessing Kubernetes extensibility with custom resources
Kubernetes’ extensibility through custom resources is a powerful feature that allows developers to add new functionalities and resources to the Kubernetes API. This capability enables the creation of declarative APIs that are as easy to use as built-in Kubernetes resources.
Custom resource definitions (CRDs) are used to define custom resources in Kubernetes. They provide a way for developers to define the structure of their own resources and API objects. Once a CRD is created, users can create and access instances of this new...
