Technical requirements

This chapter has the following technical requirements:

• A Docker host installed using the steps from Chapter 1, Docker and Container Essentials
• Installation scripts from this book's GitHub repository

You can access the code for this chapter by going to this book's GitHub repository: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Kubernetes-and-Docker-The-Complete-Guide.

Note

We thought it was important to point out that this chapter will reference multiple Kubernetes objects, some without a lot of context. Chapter 5, Kubernetes Bootcamp, goes over Kubernetes objects in detail, many with commands you can use to understand them, so we thought having a cluster to use while reading about this would be useful.

Most of the base Kubernetes topics covered in this chapter will be discussed in future chapters, so if some topics are a bit foggy after you've read this chapter, don't fear! They will be discussed in detail in later chapters...
