Kubernetes for Developers

Kubernetes Quickly is a clear and practical beginner's guide that shows you just how easy, flexible, and cost-effective it can be to make the switch to Kubernetes deployment even for small to medium-sized applications.

Kubernetes Quickly is a hands-on guide to taking your first steps into Kubernetes using the powerful Google Kubernetes Engine service. It lays out a map for taking an application, containerizing it, and then deploying it onto Kubernetes. You'll learn best practice techniques for a stable and long-term Kubernetes deployment, including scaling and capacity planning, saving money by optimizing resource consumption, and tricks to make your day-to-day monitoring easier such as debugging code in the cloud.

You don't need to incur huge costs or have the manpower of an enterprise organization to get a productivity boost from Kubernetes. By organizing your application component into containerized components and automating tasks like scaling and replication, Kubernetes keeps your apps running smoothly. Cloud-based Kubernetes services like Google Kubernetes Engine(GKE) reduce OS issues, simplify operations, and give you the freedom to use whatever software stack you want. If you've heard that switching to Kubernetesis complex, good news—Kubernetes for Developers will show you how it can be done without a time-consuming rebuild. Using examples from the Google Kubernetes Engine created by the team who invented Kubernetes itself, you'll learn to set up future-proof application deployments that scale to handle ever-growing and complex workloads.
