Key benefits

Deploy highly scalable applications with Kubernetes on Azure
Learn to scale your application infrastructure dynamically with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
Increase the efficiency of container orchestration service on the cloud

Description

Microsoft is now one of the most significant contributors to Kubernetes open source projects. Kubernetes helps to create, configure, and manage a cluster of virtual machines that are preconfigured to run containerized applications. This book will be your guide to performing successful container orchestration and deployment of Kubernetes clusters on Azure. You will get started by learning how to deploy and manage highly scalable applications, along with understanding how to set up a production-ready Kubernetes cluster on Azure. As you advance, you will learn how to reduce the complexity and operational overheads of managing a Kubernetes cluster on Azure. By the end of this book, you will not only be capable of deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters on Azure with ease, but also have the knowledge of best practices for working with advanced AKS concepts for complex systems.

Who is this book for?

If you’re a cloud engineer, cloud solution provider, system administrator, site reliability engineer, or a developer interested in DevOps and are looking for an extensive guide to running Kubernetes in the Azure environment, then this book is for you. Although previous knowledge of Kubernetes is not expected, some experience with Linux and Docker containers would be beneficial.

What you will learn

Use the Kubernetes dashboard to review clusters and deployed applications
Find out the benefits and limitations, and how to avoid potential problems while using AKS
Understand the implementation of Microsoft toolchains such as Visual Studio Code and Git
Implement simple and advanced AKS solutions
Ensure automated scalability and high reliability of your applications with Microsoft AKS
Apply kubectl commands to monitor applications

NK Desi in CA May 20, 2019

In the fast changing world of Kubernetes and especially AKS, this is a welcome book for step-by-step instructions on navigating the hard waters. Author's promise of keeping the steps updated on github is also reassuring to keep up with changes. If you are looking for in-depth tech fundamentals, I'm sure there will be tons of resources, but for a hands-on AKS know-how.....good book to get started.

gabe k Apr 10, 2019

I purchased this book after reading some very detailed books on both Docker and Kubernetes. I specifically bought this to understand the AKS (Azure) specific aspects of K8S implementations. I found that the book's approach is more of a "follow these steps and it works" approach rather than explaining what you are actually being instructed to do. I would also say that the vast majority of examples do not work and required me to search for the proper example online. Problems with the examples ranged from using older libraries that are no longer supported or compatible, permission issues specific to AKS requiring prior remediation, misspellings of commands (e.g. kubctl instead of kubectl) and a number of other issues. There is also a chapter dedicated to OMS which is being deprecated at the time of this writing. In all honesty though, it was the only AKS specific book that I could find and I did get information out of it that pointed me in the right direction if you're willing to do the research yourself.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
