Mastering Elastic Kubernetes Service on AWS

The Fundamentals of Kubernetes and Containers

As more organizations adopt agile development and modern (cloud-native) application architectures, the need for a platform that can deploy, scale, and provide reliable container services has become critical for many medium-sized and large companies. Kubernetes has become the de facto platform for hosting container workloads but can be complex to install, configure, and manage.

Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a managed service that enables users of the AWS platform to focus on using a Kubernetes cluster rather than spending time on installation and maintenance.

In this chapter, we will review the basic building blocks of Kubernetes. Specifically, however, we will be covering the following topics:

  • A brief history of Docker, containerd, and runc
  • A deeper dive into containers
  • What is container orchestration?
  • What is Kubernetes?
  • Understanding Kubernetes deployment architectures

For a deeper understanding of the chapter, it is recommended that you have some familiarity with Linux commands and architectures.

Important note

The content in this book is intended for IT professionals that have experience building and/or running Kubernetes on-premises or on other cloud platforms. We recognize that not everyone with the prerequisite experience is aware of the background of Kubernetes so this first chapter is included (but optional) to provide a consistent view of where Kubernetes has come from and the supporting technology it leverages. If you think you already have a clear understanding of the topics discussed in this chapter, feel free to skip this one and move on to the next chapter.

Key benefits

  • Seamlessly deploy and run Kubernetes applications on AWS
  • Overcome security and networking issues in Kubernetes to improve the performance of your apps
  • Scale and provision resources to meet the dynamic needs of the cluster using AWS EKS

Description

Kubernetes has emerged as the de facto standard for container orchestration, with recent developments making it easy to deploy and handle a Kubernetes cluster. However, a few challenges such as networking, load balancing, monitoring, and security remain. To address these issues, Amazon EKS offers a managed Kubernetes service to improve the performance, scalability, reliability, and availability of AWS infrastructure and integrate with AWS networking and security services with ease. You’ll begin by exploring the fundamentals of Docker, Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, and its architecture along with different ways to set up EKS. Next, you’ll find out how to manage Amazon EKS, encompassing security, cluster authentication, networking, and cluster version upgrades. As you advance, you’ll discover best practices and learn to deploy applications on Amazon EKS through different use cases, including pushing images to ECR and setting up storage and load balancing. With the help of several actionable practices and scenarios, you’ll gain the know-how to resolve scaling and monitoring issues. Finally, you will overcome the challenges in EKS by developing the right skill set to troubleshoot common issues with the right logic. By the end of this Kubernetes book, you’ll be able to effectively manage your own Kubernetes clusters and other components on AWS.

Who is this book for?

This book is for cloud architects and cloud engineers who want to efficiently manage Kubernetes with Amazon EKS. Basic knowledge of containerization, Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS services is needed to grasp the content present in this book.

What you will learn

  • Understand Amazon EKS architecture and how every component works
  • Effectively manage Kubernetes cluster on AWS with Amazon EKS
  • Build a Docker image and push it to AWS ECR
  • Efficiently scale and provision resources leveraging Amazon EKS
  • Dive deep into security and networking with Amazon EKS
  • Understand Fargate serverless and apply it to the workload

I have been working with AWS for 7 years but my EKS knowledge was always a bit weak until I read this book. It is a great end to end guide and what I like is that it provides lots of code snippets and examples which makes it easy to follow. I also like that each chapter clear and succinct making it easy to read; in addition the step by step deployments were easy to follow.Overall I would highly recommend this book.

I usually do DevOps-related work for EKS. I was amazed at the richness of the content when I saw this book. As the name suggests, if we read this book, I believe we can master EKS. This is the first time I've seen a book with this much detail about EKS.The authors work on AWS as EKS experts and they have accumulated a great deal of knowledge and experience. So I believe this book is filled with everything AWS wants customers to know when operating EKS, and the know-how we need to know for operation.The book first explains knowledge about Kubernetes, containers, and EKS. These are mixed with screenshots to explain points that are difficult to understand in the official EKS documentation in an easy-to-understand manner. Then, we will gradually gain deep-dive insight into EKS. Fargate, which is managed and hidden by AWS, and network insights that are difficult to understand would be very helpful. There are also descriptions of IPv6 and Multus ENI.And the final Advanced content is written in detail about how to operate EKS using software such as AMP, Cluster Autoscaler, etc, and Karpenter for observability, scaling, etc. The final troubleshooter is great too. A lot of issues occur when operating EKS. It describes what actions to take when an issue occurs, so it would be very helpful as a reference.

I read this book to get a better understanding about Amazon EKS implementation of Kubernetes Service.The content of the book delivered what being mentioned in book description. Architectural diagrams are provided for most topics and they're really helpful.Simple examples are provided to test certain behavior and understanding of the concept, although I didn't try them, it appears to be good enough to explain the concept. The book explain a lot more complex topics than my current expertise, so I skipped those topics, but if the quality of the content is maintained in all chapters, I'm sure it will provide additional knowledge to your current skillsets.I would recommend this book for anyone that want to have a deep knowledge in managing Kubernetes clusters on AWS.

Mastering Elastic Kubernetes Service on AWS does an excellent job covering a huge range of information on EKS. The chapters are organised well with plenty of models to help understanding. When appropriate, the authors delve into some of the common problems faced when deploying the technology.If you are considering adopting EKS and want to understand the options available on AWS, this book might be more advanced than you need. I recommend this more for the lead engineer of a EKS project and all of the DevOps team. Appdevs will pick up a great background on EKS and will gain insight, but this book is more focussed on those that will implement the service, secure it, make it observable, and cost effective.Excellent job Malcolm Orr and Yang-Xin CAO!
