While Kubernetes has significantly streamlined the process of deploying containerized applications, managing this orchestration framework on a daily basis can still be a challenging task. This practical book aims to equip site reliability and DevOps engineers with the knowledge and skills necessary to build, operate, manage, and upgrade a Kubernetes cluster, regardless of whether it is hosted on cloud infrastructure or on-premises. Brendan Burns, co-founder of Kubernetes, and Craig Tracey, staff field engineer at Heptio, delve into the inner workings of Kubernetes and showcase effective strategies for maintaining, adjusting, and enhancing the cluster to suit specific use cases. You will gain insights into making architectural decisions for designing a cluster, managing access control, monitoring and alerting, and performing Kubernetes upgrades. By exploring the intricacies of this orchestration framework, you will uncover how your cluster operates, how developers utilize it for application deployment, and how Kubernetes can facilitate their work. Furthermore, you will learn how to optimize, secure, and tune your cluster by understanding Kubernetes APIs and configuration options. Early detection of cluster-level issues and the ability to respond and recover quickly will be emphasized. Additionally, you will determine when and how to incorporate libraries, tools, and platforms that build upon, extend, or otherwise improve a Kubernetes cluster, enabling you to maximize its potential and achieve your desired outcomes.
