Design, build, and operate scalable and reliable Kubernetes infrastructure for production

▶Book Description
Although out-of-the-box solutions can help you to get a cluster up and running quickly, running a Kubernetes cluster that is optimized for production workloads is a challenge, especially for users with basic or intermediate knowledge. With detailed coverage of cloud industry standards and best practices for achieving scalability, availability, operational excellence, and cost optimization, this Kubernetes book is a blueprint for managing applications and services in production.

You'll discover the most common way to deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters, which is to use a public cloud-managed service from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This book explores Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), the AWS-managed version of Kubernetes, for working through practical exercises. As you get to grips with implementation details specific to AWS and EKS, you'll understand the design concepts, implementation best practices, and configuration applicable to other cloud-managed services. Throughout the book, you'll also discover standard and cloud-agnostic tools, such as Terraform and Ansible, for provisioning and configuring infrastructure.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to leverage Kubernetes to operate and manage your production environments confidently.

▶What You Will Learn
-Explore different infrastructure architectures for Kubernetes deployment
-Implement optimal open source and commercial storage management solutions
-Apply best practices for provisioning and configuring Kubernetes clusters, including infrastructure as code (IaC) and configuration as code (CAC)
-Configure the cluster networking plugin and core networking components to get the best out of them
-Secure your Kubernetes environment using the latest tools and best practices
-Deploy core observability stacks, such as monitoring and logging, to fine-tune your infrastructure

출판사 서평

▶ Preface
Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform originally developed by Google and made available to the public in 2014. The popularity of Kubernetes helped to make the deployment of container-based, complex, distributed systems simpler to manage for developers. Since its inception, the community has built a large ecosystem around Kubernetes, with many open source projects that have made the automation of management functions possible.

This book is specifically designed to quickly help Kubernetes administrators and site reliability engineers (SREs) to build and manage production-grade Kubernetes infrastructure following industry best practices and well-proven techniques learned from early technology adopters of large-scale Kubernetes deployments.

While we use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to deliver the practical exercises in this book, we believe that the explained Kubernetes design, provisioning, and configuration concepts and techniques remain valid for other cloud providers. Regarding the selection of provisioning and configuration tools, we decided to use cloud-agnostic tools such as Terraform and Ansible to ensure portability across cloud providers.

Kubernetes in Production Best Practices gives you the confidence to use Kubernetes to host your production workloads, having the comprehensive infrastructure design knowledge to build your clusters and a clear understanding of managing and operating them efficiently.
