Overview of this book

Kubernetes is a popular open source orchestration platform for managing containers in a cluster environment. With this Kubernetes cookbook, you’ll learn how to implement Kubernetes using a recipe-based approach. The book will prepare you to create highly available Kubernetes clusters on multiple clouds such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Azure, Alibaba, and on-premises data centers. Starting with recipes for installing and configuring Kubernetes instances, you’ll discover how to work with Kubernetes clients, services, and key metadata. You’ll then learn how to build continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for your applications, and understand various methods to manage containers. As you advance, you’ll delve into Kubernetes' integration with Docker and Jenkins, and even perform a batch process and configure data volumes. You’ll get to grips with methods for scaling, security, monitoring, logging, and troubleshooting. Additionally, this book will take you through the latest updates in Kubernetes, including volume snapshots, creating high availability clusters with kops, running workload operators, new inclusions around kubectl and more. By the end of this book, you’ll have developed the skills required to implement Kubernetes in production and manage containers proficiently.

Setting up NFS for shared storage on Kubernetes

Although it's not the best-performing solution, NFS is still used with cloud-native applications where multi-node write access is required. In this section, we will create an NFS-based persistent storage for this type of application. You will learn how to use OpenEBS and Rook to ReadWriteMany (RWX) accessible persistent volumes for stateful workloads that require shared storage on Kubernetes.

Getting ready

For this recipe, we need to have either rook or openebs installed as an orchestrator. Make sure that you have a Kubernetes cluster ready and kubectl configured to manage the cluster resources.

How to do it…

There are two popular alternatives when it comes to providing an NFS service. This section is sub-divided further into the following subsections to explain the process using Rook and OpenEBS:
