While Kubernetes has greatly simplified the task of deploying
containerized applications, managing this orchestration framework on a
daily basis can still be a complex undertaking. With this practical
book, site reliability and DevOps engineers will learn how to build,
operate, manage, and upgrade a Kubernetes cluster--whether it resides on
cloud infrastructure or on-premises.
Brendan Burns, cofounder of Kubernetes, and Craig Tracey, staff field
engineer at Heptio, dissect how Kubernetes works internally and
demonstrate ways to maintain, adjust, and improve the cluster to suit
your particular use case. You'll learn how to make architectural choices
for designing a cluster, managing access control, monitoring and
alerting, and upgrading Kubernetes. Dive in and discover how to take
full advantage of this orchestration framework's capabilities.
- Learn how your cluster operates, how developers use it to deploy
applications, and how Kubernetes can facilitate a developer's job
- Adjust, secure, and tune your cluster by understanding Kubernetes APIs
and configuration options
- Detect cluster-level problems early and learn the steps necessary to
respond and recover quickly
- Determine how and when to add libraries, tools, and platforms that
build on, extend, or otherwise improve a Kubernetes cluster
