Operating Applications on Kubernetes

In this chapter, we will discuss the provisioning tools available to deploy cloud-native applications on Kubernetes. You will learn how to deploy DevOps tools and CI/CD (short for continuous integration/continuous delivery or continuous deployment) infrastructure on Kubernetes using the most popular life cycle management options. You will gain the skills to perform Day 1 and some Day 2 operations, such as installing, upgrading, and version controlling Deployments, ruling out a new application, and removing Deployments when they are no longer needed.

In this chapter, we will be covering the following topics:

Deploying workloads using YAML files
Deploying workloads using Customize
Deploying workloads using Helm charts
Deploying and operating applications using Kubernetes operators
Deploying and managing the life cycle of Jenkins X
Deploying...

Key benefits

Implement Kubernetes to orchestrate and scale applications proficiently

Leverage the latest features of Kubernetes to resolve common as well as complex problems in a cloud-native environment

Gain hands-on experience in securing, monitoring, and troubleshooting your application

Description

Kubernetes is a popular open source orchestration platform for managing containers in a cluster environment. With this Kubernetes cookbook, you’ll learn how to implement Kubernetes using a recipe-based approach. The book will prepare you to create highly available Kubernetes clusters on multiple clouds such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Azure, Alibaba, and on-premises data centers. Starting with recipes for installing and configuring Kubernetes instances, you’ll discover how to work with Kubernetes clients, services, and key metadata. You’ll then learn how to build continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for your applications, and understand various methods to manage containers. As you advance, you’ll delve into Kubernetes' integration with Docker and Jenkins, and even perform a batch process and configure data volumes. You’ll get to grips with methods for scaling, security, monitoring, logging, and troubleshooting. Additionally, this book will take you through the latest updates in Kubernetes, including volume snapshots, creating high availability clusters with kops, running workload operators, new inclusions around kubectl and more. By the end of this book, you’ll have developed the skills required to implement Kubernetes in production and manage containers proficiently.

Great coverage of common Kubernetes and DevOps tools. I've learned about some of the tools I haven't used before like Jenkins X, GitLab, Fossa, Trivy, Litmus Chaos etc.Although some of the long YAML files are provided in the GitHub repository I got the digital version, makes it easier to copy paste.

There are so many "base" Kubernetes books out there - they cover the basic Kubernetes objects, which is great, but there needs to be more books on the add-ons that most people will encounter once they have a cluster up and running.This book covers many of the topics that people often search the internet for - Backups, CI/CD, Security, etc... You may find a Blog on a topic but it doesnt detail how to deploy anything. You may find a script to install something, but you have no idea what it did or why it creates certain objects. Aside from all of that, it takes time to track the information down and then you have to hope whoever posted the details understands what they created and if its correct.Finally there is a book that is well written and covers a broad range of topics - It wont put you to sleep, each section has a great summary of the topic and then details deploying a solution for the topic. I love the cookbook style books, being an Engineer and IT guy, Im all for "wordy" books when they make sense, but lets face it, not everyone wants to read that much information on a topic. Most people also learn better when they are involved with hands-on exercises and this book delivers!If you want to go beyond the basic Kubeadm, KinD, etc... Clusters - you will find this book VERY useful and informative.

Short and to the point recipes to help you get the general idea. Not a in depth explanation, but shows you how to configure most relevant DevOps software & platforms, and is a great way to get a good idea of what is needed to get started. Links to more in depth information at the end of each section. Great book - just what I was looking for.

If you are starting to know k8s this may be a good book for you. You have a little how-to in many flavors. On the other hand, if you expect production grade insights (like me) this book is not a good fit.
