Summary
In this chapter, we explored Kubernetes operation best practices and covered cluster maintenance topics such as upgrades, backups, and disaster recovery. We learned how to validate our cluster configuration to avoid cluster and application problems. Finally, we learned ways to detect and improve resource allocation and the cost of our cluster resources.
By completing this last chapter in the book, we now have the complete knowledge to build and manage production-grade Kubernetes infrastructure following the industry best practices and well-proven techniques learned from early technology adopters and real-life, large-scale Kubernetes deployments. Kubernetes offers a very active user and partner ecosystem. In this book, we focused on the best practices known today. Although principles will not change quickly, as with every new technology, there will be new solutions and new approaches to solving the same problems. Please let us know how we can improve this book in the future...
