Preface

Kubernetes is an open source system that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. If you are running more than just a few containers or want to automate the management of your containers, you need Kubernetes. This book focuses on guiding you through the advanced management of Kubernetes clusters.

The book begins by explaining the fundamentals behind Kubernetes' architecture and covers Kubernetes' design in detail. You will discover how to run complex stateful microservices on Kubernetes, including such advanced features as horizontal pod autoscaling, rolling updates, resource quotas, and persistent storage backends. Using real-world use cases, you will explore the options for network configuration and understand how to set up, operate, secure, and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters. Finally, you will learn about advanced topics such as custom resources, API aggregation, service meshes, and serverless computing. All the content is up to date and complies with Kubernetes 1.18. By the end of this book, you'll know everything you need to know to go from intermediate to advanced level.
