The Kubernetes Book, 2021 Edition

About the author

Nigel Poulton is a leading name in the cloud-native community. He is a Docker Captain and author of many container-related books, video training courses, and online hands-on K8s training. When he's not working like crazy to keep this book up-to-date, he spends time with his family, tries to play golf, and dreams of American muscle cars.

Containers have changed the world and Kubernetes is leading the way. As the OS of the cloud , Kubernetes abstracts underlying infrastructure so you don't need to care whether you're deploying to the cloud or your on-premises datacenter. This allows you to focus on deploying and managing applications.

The Kubernetes Book starts from the beginning and covers everything required for you to become proficient.

You'll master:

• Kubernetes architecture • How to get Kubernetes
• How to deploy and manage applications on Kubernetes
• How to secure Kubernetes
• Terms like cloud-native, microservices, desired state, containerised, and more...

Finally, Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies are developing fast! That's why this book will be updated at least once per year, meaning it's always up-to-date with the latest versions of Kubernetes and the latest trends in the cloud-native ecosystem.
