Chapter 4: Container Orchestration with Kubernetes – Part I
In the last chapter, we covered creating and managing container images, where we discussed container images, Dockerfile, its directives, and components. We also looked at the best practices of writing a Dockerfile and building and managing efficient images. We then looked at flattening Docker images and took a deep dive into distroless images to improve container security. Finally, we created a private Docker registry.
Now we will deep dive into container orchestration. We will learn how to schedule and run containers using the most popular container orchestrator – Kubernetes.
In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:
- What is Kubernetes and why do I need it?
- Kubernetes architecture
- Installing Kubernetes (Minikube and KinD)
- Understanding Kubernetes pods
