This book takes developers on a journey into the cloud with Docker and
Kubernetes. It walks you through the basics of Docker containers, how
they are built, run, and published, and how the Kubernetes system allows
you to use containers to better manage a cloud native application.
Additionally, it walks you through various issues in cloud architecture,
and how to design a cloud architecture that will work with your
application and your team.
The book takes a unique approach, getting you immersed in each subject
with tutorials, then building up your technical knowledge, and finally
backing up and thinking about more big-picture issues. Part one
introduces Docker, building and working with Docker images, and covering
best practices for Docker Containers. Part two covers the practicalities
of "cloud native" and managing a Kubernetes application, including a
full working example. The last part covers the design of cloud and
microservice architectures, including the use of enterprise message
queues, multi-site configurations and the common values that such
architectures follow.
This approach accelerates learning and keeps you moving forward without
leaving you behind. The appendices also contain a wealth of worthwhile
reference material for routine cloud application management.
