Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the basics of Kubernetes. We took an overview of its architecture and introduced the main resources that are used to define and run applications in a Kubernetes cluster. We also introduced minikube and Kubernetes support in Docker Desktop.

In the next chapter, we’re going to deploy an application into a Kubernetes cluster. Then, we’re going to be updating one of the services of this application using a zero-downtime strategy. Finally, we’re going to instrument application services running in Kubernetes with sensitive data using secrets. Stay tuned!
