Section 3: Using Managed Pods with Controllers

At this point in the book, you know how to use Kubernetes. But now, we want to familiarize you with cloud excellence. The header was introduced as part of Kubernetes basics in the previous chapters; we now want it to be able to run Kubernetes workloads in production for real. You will be taught the concepts and objectives of high availability, fault tolerance, elasticity, and scaling as well as application life cycle management.

This part of the book comprises the following chapters:

• Chapter 10, Running Production-Grade Kubernetes Workloads
• Chapter 11, Deployment – Deploying Stateless Applications
• Chapter 12, StatefulSet – Deploying Stateful Applications
• Chapter 13, DaemonSet – Maintaining Pod Singletons on Nodes
