The Kubernetes Book

This 2023 edition of The Kubernetes Book, by Nigel Poulton, renowned writer and video trainer, is up-to-the-minute with the contemporary trends in Kubernetes (version 1.26+) and the swiftly evolving cloud-native ecosystem.

Containers transformed how we package and deploy applications, but they came with inherent challenges. Kubernetes is a platform for deploying and managing containerised applications at scale. It also abstracts underlying infrastructure, making it easier to deploy and manage applications across heterogenous clouds and on-premises environments.

The Kubernetes Book offers a beginner-friendly approach to mastering Kubernetes architecture and core concepts such as Pods, Deployments, Products and services, StatefulSets, Ingress, ConfigMaps, and more. It also demystifies the Kubernetes API, teaches you how to protected Kubernetes, and brings you on top of things with important cloud-native concepts such as microservices, declarative configuration, desired state, reconciliation, and more.

The book also serves as a comprehensive guide for software developers, systems administrators, cloud engineers, and architects to help them master Kubernetes. It offers the most precise explanations and is full of practical examples to help develop applications on a laptop and then deploy them to real-world Kubernetes environments.

★ The Kubernetes Book is up to date once a year, meaning it’s all the time up-to-the-minute with the contemporary and greatest in the Kubernetes and cloud-native ecosystems.
