Summary
We have reached the end of this critical chapter. We’ve covered enough ground to get you started with Kubernetes and understand and appreciate the best practices surrounding it.
We started with Kubernetes and why we need it and then discussed bootstrapping a Kubernetes cluster using Minikube and KinD. Then, we looked at the pod resource and discussed creating and managing pods, troubleshooting them, ensuring your application’s reliability using probes, and multi-container design patterns to appreciate why Kubernetes uses pods in the first place instead of containers.
In the next chapter, we will deep dive into the advanced aspects of Kubernetes by covering controllers, services, ingresses, managing a stateful application, and Kubernetes command-line best practices.
