Mastering Kubernetes: Level up your container orchestration skills with Kubernetes to build, run, secure, and observe large-scale distributed apps, 3rd Edition

Product Description

Go beyond simply learning Kubernetes fundamentals and its deployment, and explore more advanced concepts, including serverless computing and service meshes with the latest updates
Key Features

Master Kubernetes architecture and design to build and deploy secure distributed applications
Learn advanced concepts like autoscaling, cluster federation, serverless computing, and service mesh integration for observability
Explore Kubernetes 1.18 features and its rich ecosystem of tools like Kubectl, Knative, and Helm

Book Description
The third edition of Mastering Kubernetes is updated with the latest tools and code enabling you to learn Kubernetes 1.18’s latest features. This book primarily concentrates on diving deeply into complex concepts and Kubernetes best practices to help you master the skills of designing and deploying large clusters on various cloud platforms.
The book trains you to run complex stateful microservices on Kubernetes including advanced features such as horizontal pod autoscaling, rolling updates, resource quotas, and persistent storage backend. With the two new chapters, you will gain expertise in serverless computing and utilizing service meshes.
As you proceed through the chapters, you will explore different options for network configuration and learn to set up, operate, and troubleshoot Kubernetes networking plugins through real-world use cases. Furthermore, you will understand the mechanisms of custom resource development and its utilization in automation and maintenance workflows.
By the end of this Kubernetes book, you will graduate from an intermediate to advanced Kubernetes professional.

Review

“Modern large-scale distributed systems these days are designed using microservice architecture and are packaged in containers. This certainly applies to MemSQL – the company I started, and it’s a fundamental and correct architecture choice for cloud native systems. Kubernetes is the most successful container orchestration platform. You can think of it as the operating system of the cloud. If you manage systems composed of hundreds or thousands of nodes and services you need Kubernetes. At this level Mastering Kubernetes, Third Edition becomes indispensable. The breadth and depth of coverage is truly impressive. Gigi Sayfan will take you on a journey from the concepts and basic architecture to the latest innovations such as serverless computing and service meshes. The hands-on code examples and clear explanations make all the difference.” —
