Key benefits

  • Implement industry best practices to build and manage production-grade Kubernetes infrastructure
  • Learn how to architect scalable Kubernetes clusters, harden container security, and fine-tune resource management
  • Understand, manage, and operate complex business workloads confidently

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.

Who is this book for?

This book is for cloud infrastructure experts, DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers, and engineering managers looking to design and operate Kubernetes infrastructure for production. Basic knowledge of Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Linux, and AWS is needed to get the most out of this book.

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

Chapters 1 and 2 show useful Kubernetes production readiness checklist, cluster and applications design considerations, Kubernetes deployment strategy. Good infrastructure as code demo with Terraform and Ansible playbooks on AWS EKS throughout this book. Chapters 3-10 explain and demo many important topics, e.g. cluster, networking, storage, security, logging, monitoring, operations, backup, upgrades, cost optimization, ... etc. Very useful for running a Production Kubernetes cluster effectively !

I liked the book focus on the best practices that are commonly used by Kubernetes production environments, and it provided a nice roadmap to create and manage your k8s production infrastructure with solid design and architectural design ideas. It also gives great attention to IaC with terraform, CaC with ansible, and nicely covers security and networking.

Kubernetes is a very complex ecosystem with a variety of use cases all over, it’s hard to find reliable resources on best practices, but this book is a silver bullet, it has good practices for all tastes, small to large production environments. It’s definitely a must-read for DevOps guys and Developers in general.
