Cover Front Matter 1. From VMs to Containers 2. Container Hello-World 3. Container Basics Using Docker 4. Building Our First Container Image 5. Introduction to Kubernetes 6. Deploying Our First App in Kubernetes 7. Deployment Files and Automation 8. A Closer Look at Kubernetes 9. Scaling the Deployment 10. Scaling Compute Nodes 11. Kubernetes RBAC 12. Artifact Repository and Container Registry 13. Elastic Kubernetes Service from AWS 14. Operating the EKS Cluster 15. Data Persistence in EKS 16. Networking and Ingress 17. Kubernetes Tools Back Matter Navigate through the Kubernetes landscape to create and deploy container-based applications. This book will show you how to choose between the various available container-based operating systems, and how to design a better continuous integration pipeline for your container images, where to store them, and how to scan and secure them. In the first half of the book, you'll learn the practical tips on how to setup the system for visibility and troubleshooting, how to reduce the attack vector and reduce risks. The second half of the book focuses on Kubernetes, the popular container orchestration system. You'll see how to setup your Kubernetes for practical applications such as show/chargeback using tagging, efficient use of namespaces and pods, various isolation layers. It also shows you how to integrate with popular implementations of K8S such as AWS EKS (Elastic Container Service), GCP Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) in touch points such as authentication and authorization, optimization, logging and troubleshooting tools, etc. By practicing the scenarios given in this book, you will be able to make better design choices that are appropriate for the constraints you are working with. Deploy Container Applications Using Kubernetes is your go-to resource for an optimal deployment of workloads using containers and Kubernetes in both public and private cloud settings. What You'll Learn Understand the various design choices, their pros and cons Build a better CI/CD pipeline for your containers and Kubernetes Deploy your first container application in a public cloud K8S engine Improve your existing K8S deployment for efficiency and elegance Who This Book Is For IT Platform Architects, System Engineers/, and System Administrators
