Summary
This first chapter gave us room for a big introduction. We covered a lot of subjects, such as monoliths, microservices, Docker containers, cloud computing, and Kubernetes. We also discussed how this project came to life. You should now have a global vision of how Kubernetes can be used to manage your containers in production.
In the next chapter, we will discuss the process Kubernetes follows to launch a Docker container. You will discover that you can issue commands to Kubernetes, and these commands will be interpreted by Kubernetes as instructions to run containers. We will list and explain each component of Kubernetes and its role in the whole cluster. There are a lot of components that make up a Kubernetes cluster, and we will discover all of them. We will explain how Kubernetes was technically built with a focus on the distinction between master nodes, worker nodes, and control plane components.
