In this chapter, we looked into Kubernetes a little deeper. We started the chapter by reviewing and revisiting some core Kubernetes concepts. We then went ahead to deploy our Kubernetes cluster and also our deployment associated with it. We then created our first workload, which was an nginx container. Remember, a workload is a container and is also referred to as a pod. In advanced use cases, a pod can have more than one container. We also talked about stateful applications and deployed persistent storage to store our application state. We made this storage available to our pods and verified the deployment as well. We learned how to expose our pods or containers to the internet and therefore have access to our application on port 80, which was mapped to our nginx deployment.
There is a lot more to Kubernetes than we have discussed in this chapter, and I strongly recommend...
