Part 2 – Designing and Crafting Platforms

In Part 2, we will tackle the technical foundation of a platform and walk you through relevant decision points during the design process. To do so, you will learn about the four primary parts of a platform – the core components and infrastructure represented by Kubernetes, the required automation for a platform, the relevant components for a self-service, developer-friendly oriented platform, and the steps required to build secure and compliant environments.

This part has the following chapters:

Chapter 4, Architecting the Platform Core – Kubernetes as a Unified Layer
Chapter 5, Integration, Delivery, and Deployment – Automation is Ubiquitous
