Overview of this book

Thanks to its extensive support for managing hundreds of containers that run cloud-native applications, Kubernetes is the most popular open source container orchestration platform that makes cluster management easy. This workshop adopts a practical approach to get you acquainted with the Kubernetes environment and its applications. Starting with an introduction to the fundamentals of Kubernetes, you’ll install and set up your Kubernetes environment. You’ll understand how to write YAML files and deploy your first simple web application container using Pod. You’ll then assign human-friendly names to Pods, explore various Kubernetes entities and functions, and discover when to use them. As you work through the chapters, this Kubernetes book will show you how you can make full-scale use of Kubernetes by applying a variety of techniques for designing components and deploying clusters. You’ll also get to grips with security policies for limiting access to certain functions inside the cluster. Toward the end of the book, you’ll get a rundown of Kubernetes advanced features for building your own controller and upgrading to a Kubernetes cluster without downtime. By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to manage containers and run cloud-based applications efficiently using Kubernetes.

Preface

Summary

In this chapter, we walked you through a brief history of software development and explained some of the challenges in the VM era. With the emergence of Docker, containerization technologies open a new gate in terms of resolving the problems that existed with earlier methods of software development.

We walked you through the basics of Docker and detailed the underlying features of Linux such as namespaces and cgroups, which enable containerization. We then brought up the concept of container orchestration and illustrated the problems it aims to solve. Finally, we gave a very brief overview of some of the key features and methodologies of Kubernetes.

In the next chapter, we will dive a little deeper and take a look at Kubernetes' architecture to understand how it works.
