Core Kubernetes

Kubernetes is a platform-independent layer for deploying scalable container-based applications. It provides abstractions for clustering, replicating, and scaling system components in real time and is especially well-suited for microservices applications. Core Kubernetes is a reference guide designed to teach operators, SREs, and developers how to improve reliability and performance of Kubernetes-based systems. It covers base components, networking, storage, external load balancing, security, creating a cluster, configuring Kubernetes to use a GPU, and more. Written for readers with a working knowledge of Kubernetes and microservices applications, it is authored by Jay Vyas and Chris Love, who have over 20 years of experience in software engineering.

Kubernetes, once a simple container orchestration system, has emerged as the de facto infrastructure for cloud-native applications. Its impact spans the entire application development lifecycle, from design to deployment. To build and maintain reliable cloud-native systems, it is crucial to delve into the underlying mechanisms. Core Kubernetes offers a wealth of experience-driven insights and practical techniques, guiding you through Kubernetes' inner workings. It empowers you to keep your system running smoothly, preventing those panic-inducing 3 AM phone calls.

Kubernetes is a platform-independent layer for deploying scalable container-based applications. It provides abstractions for clustering, replicating, and scaling system components in real time, making it particularly well-suited for microservices applications. Kubernetes has become a core component of cloud-native applications, and all major cloud vendors now offer hosted versions of Kubernetes.

Originally developed by Google, Kubernetes is now governed as an open-source project by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

Core Kubernetes is a comprehensive reference guide designed to teach operators, SREs, and developers how to enhance the reliability and performance of Kubernetes-based systems. Authored by Kubernetes experts Chris Love and Jay Vyas, the book offers a guided tour through all major aspects of Kubernetes, covering topics such as managing iptables, setting up dynamically scaled clusters, addressing security concerns, optimizing resource utilization, and maximizing performance.

By delving into the intricacies of Kubernetes, you gain the knowledge and skills needed to build and operate robust cloud-native systems. This book serves as a valuable resource for anyone involved in deploying, managing, and optimizing Kubernetes-based applications, ensuring the smooth operation and reliability of your infrastructure.
