Tens of thousands of developers have learned how to develop and run a Kubernetes environment from Kubernetes in Action. This new second edition updates the definitive guide with new, in-depth coverage of the Kubernetes architecture, including the Kubernetes API, and then ins-and-outs of application deployment.

As more and more applications are created using cloud-native and container-based architectures, Kubernetes has become an essential tool for modern developers to master. This book lays out a complete introduction to container technologies and containerized applications along with practical tips for efficient deployment and operation. From building your first cluster, you’ll steadily expand your initial application, adding features and deepening your knowledge of Kubernetes architecture.

In this book, you’ll find:

• Up and running with Kubernetes
• Deploying containers across a cluster
• Securing clusters
• Updating applications with zero downtime

About the technology

Kubernetes is the de facto standard for deploying containerized distributed applications. This powerful platform acts as an operating system for containers and clusters, reducing the need to micro-manage network and server infrastructure. Used daily by millions of developers, administrators, and architects, Kubernetes is must-know enterprise software.

About the book

Kubernetes in Action, Second Edition is the definitive guide to developing and deploying software with Kubernetes. Built on the bestselling first edition, this end-to-end revision provides up-to-date coverage on structuring Kubernetes-based applications and taking advantage of the Kubernetes API. You’ll also discover other key topics like configuration, attaching storage, scaling, and zero-downtime maintenance.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Kubernetes is an essential tool for anyone deploying and managing cloud-native applications.   Kubernetes in Action, Second Edition  is a fully-updated and comprehensive guide to developing and running applications in a Kubernetes environment. It lays out a complete introduction to container technologies and containerized applications along with practical tips for efficient deployment and operation. This revised edition of the bestselling original contains new coverage of the Kubernetes architecture, including the Kubernetes API, and a deep dive into managing a Kubernetes cluster in production.

about the technology

Kubernetes is Greek for “helmsman,” your guide through unknown waters. The Kubernetes container orchestration system safely manages the structure and flow of a distributed application, organizing containers and services for maximum efficiency. Kubernetes serves as an operating system for your clusters, reducing the need to factor the underlying network and server infrastructure into your designs. As more and more applications are created using cloud-native and container-based architectures, Kubernetes has become an essential tool for modern developers to master.

about the book

Kubernetes in Action, Second Edition  teaches you to use Kubernetes to deploy container-based distributed applications. You'll start with an overview of how Docker containers work with Kubernetes and move quickly to building your first cluster. You'll gradually expand your initial application, adding features and deepening your knowledge of Kubernetes architecture and operation. In this revised and expanded second edition, you'll take a deep dive into the structure of a Kubernetes-based application and discover how to manage a Kubernetes cluster in production. As you navigate this comprehensive guide, you'll also appreciate thorough coverage of high-value topics like monitoring, tuning, and scaling.
