Do you need to figure out what Kubernetes is all about? Do you like learning through hands-on?

If yes, this is the book for you...

Quick Start Kubernetes, brought to you by best-selling author Nigel Poulton, assumes zero prior experience and gets you to the point you can hold your own in a conversation with an expert, and deploy simple applications. And it does it in less than 100 pages!

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.

You'll learn:
  • What Kubernetes is
  • Why we have Kubernetes
  • The role Kubernetes will play in the future of infrastructure and applications
You'll also perform the following hands-on tasks:
  • Build a Kubernetes cluster
  • Containerize an app
  • Deploy the app to Kubernetes
  • Break the app and watch it self-heal
  • Scale the app
  • Perform a rolling update

Along the way, Nigel explains everything as clearly as possible and busts every piece of jargon. When you're done, you'll be in love with Kubernetes and ready to take your journey to the next level.
