Preface

Mastering Kubernetes is focused on the design and management of Kubernetes clusters. It covers in detail all the capabilities and services provided by Kubernetes for developers and DevOps engineers and developers who need to collaborate to build and evolve complex distributed systems using container orchestration. The book takes the reader through the steps of creating large-scale systems and deploying them on Kubernetes, considering various environments and use cases. Over the course of this journey, you will gain in-depth knowledge of how Kubernetes is organized, when it is appropriate to use certain resources, and how to implement and configure clusters in the most effective way. Via hands-on tasks and exercises, you will develop a deep understanding of Kubernetes architecture, how to install clusters, operate them, upgrade them, and how to deploy software using best practices.
