Kubernetes Patterns: Reusable Elements for Designing Cloud-Native Applications

Description

This second edition comes with a dedicated playlist of interactive Katacoda labs mapped to sections of the book. As you read through each chapter, you can practice the concepts covered by referring to the labs playlist or to the links provided at the end of applicable chapters.The way developers design, build, and run software has changed significantly with the evolution of microservices and containers. These modern architectures offer new distributed primitives that require a different set of practices than many developers, tech leads, and architects are accustomed to. With this focused guide, Bilgin Ibryam and Roland Huss provide common reusable patterns and principles for designing and implementing cloud native applications on Kubernetes.Each pattern includes a description of the problem and a Kubernetes-specific solution. All patterns are backed by and demonstrated with concrete code examples. This updated edition is ideal for developers and architects familiar with basic Kubernetes concepts who want to learn how to solve common cloud native challenges with proven design patterns.You'll explore:Foundational patterns covering core principles and practices for building and running container-based cloud native applicationsBehavioral patterns that delve into finer-grained concepts for managing various types of container and platform interactionsStructural patterns for organizing containers within a Pod for addressing specific use casesConfiguration patterns that provide insight into how application configurations can be handled in KubernetesSecurity patterns for hardening the access to cloud native applications running on KubernetesAdvanced patterns covering more complex topics such as operators and autoscaling
