Production Kubernetes: Building Successful Application Platforms. 1st Ed. Josh Rosso, Rich Lander (english)

Kubernetes has become the dominant container orchestrator, but many organizations that have recently adopted this system are still struggling to run actual production workloads. In this practical book, four software engineers from VMware bring their shared experiences running Kubernetes in production and provide insight on key challenges and best practices.\n\nThe brilliance of Kubernetes is how configurable and extensible the system is, from pluggable runtimes to storage integrations. For platform engineers, software developers, infosec, network engineers, storage engineers, and others, this book examines how the path to success with Kubernetes involves a variety of technology, pattern, and abstraction considerations.\n\nWith this book, you will:\n\nUnderstand what the path to production looks like when using Kubernetes\nExamine where gaps exist in your current Kubernetes strategy\nLearn Kubernetes's essential building blocks--and their trade-offs\nUnderstand what's involved in making Kubernetes a viable location for applications\nLearn better ways to navigate the cloud native landscape
