Monolithic applications are becoming a thing of the past as we move towards smaller, independently running microservices that can be developed, deployed, updated and scaled individually.

But it can be difficult to configure, manage, and keep the whole system running properly. This is where Kubernetes comes in. Think of Kubernetes as an operating system for your cluster, making it easier to organize and schedule your application's components across a fleet of machines.

With Kubernetes, you don't have to worry about which specific machine in your data center your application is running on. And even better, it provides you with primitives for health checking and replicating your application across these machines. Each layer in your application is decoupled from other layers so you can scale, update, and maintain them independently.

With more and more big companies accepting the Kubernetes model as the best way to run apps, it is set to become the standard way of running distributed apps both in the cloud and local on-premises infrastructure.

Kubernetes in Action teaches developers how to use Kubernetes to deploy self-healing scalable distributed applications. This clearly-written guide begins by looking at the problems system administrators and software developers face when running microservice-based applications and how deploying onto Kubernetes solves them.

Next, you'll get your feet wet by running your first simple containerized web application on a Kubernetes cluster running in Google Container Engine. The second part of the book explains the main concepts developers need to understand in order to run multi-component applications in Kubernetes, while the last part will explain what goes on inside Kubernetes and teach you how to tie everything you've learned in the first two parts together.

By the end, you'll be able to build and deploy applications in a proper way to take full advantage of the Kubernetes platform.

The book is for both application developers as well as system administrators who want to learn about Kubernetes from the developer's perspective

Rezensionen

Loved the examples. In my experience, they match closely with the type of problems I have been dealing in production deployments over the past 15 years. Antonio Magnaghi

The most comprehensive book on Kubernetes in print! David Di Maria

The book is an incredible resource for everyone who wants to start using Kubernetes. Alessandro Campeis
