By now, you should have a fully functional Kubernetes cluster that you can use to experiment with and explore Kubernetes more fully. Your cluster is correctly configured to take advantage of the many integrations that Kubernetes has with AWS.
While there are many tools that can automate and assist you in the task of building and managing a Kubernetes cluster on AWS, hopefully by learning how to approach the task from scratch, you will have a better understanding of the networking and computing resources needed to support a Kubernetes cluster.
In Part 3, we will build on the knowledge from this chapter and discuss the additional components that you will need to add to a cluster to make it suitable for hosting production services. The cluster we have just built is a fully functional installation of Kubernetes. Read on as we look at the tools and techniques required to successfully...
