Overview
Introduces Kubernetes concepts one at a time
Teaches you how to run code and observe effects rather than focusing on theoretical concepts
Provides a hands-on approach to understanding StatefulSets so you don't have to configure off-the-shelf stores such as MongoDB or MySQL

About this book
You need only a familiarity with Linux, Bash, and Python to successfully use this book. Proficiency in Docker or cloud technology is not required. You will follow a learn-by-doing approach, running small experiments and observing the effects.
Google open sourced Kubernetes in 2015 and now it is the industry standard in container orchestration. It has been adopted by all leading vendors of cloud, on-prem, and hybrid infrastructure services: Microsoft (Azure AKS), Amazon (AWS EKS), IBM (IBM Cloud Kubernetes Services), Alibaba Cloud (ACK), RedHat (OpenShift), and Pivotal (PKS). Even though Kubernetes is offered by all of the market-leading cloud providers, the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offers an integrated shell (Google Cloud Shell) and a $300 credit to get started, which makes it the ideal platform to not only learn Kubernetes but also to implement final production workloads.
What You Will Learn
- Set up a Kubernetes cluster in GCP
- Deploy simple Docker images using monolithic Pods
- Arrange highly available and highly scalable applications using Deployments
- Achieve zero-downtime deployments using the Service controller
- Externalize configuration using ConfigMaps and Secrets
- Set up batch processes and recurrent tasks using Jobs and CronJobs
- Install horizontal (sidecar pattern) services using DaemonSets
- Implement distributed, stateful backing stores using StatefulSets
Who This Book Is For
Beginners with basic Linux admin and scripting skills (Bash and Python). Proficiency with Docker is not required as all examples in the book use off-the-shelf public images from Docker Hub.
