Docker Deep Dive by Nigel Poulton, Independently published

This 2023 edition of The Kubernetes Book, by Nigel Poulton, renowned author and video trainer, is up to date with the latest trends in Kubernetes (version 1.26+) and the rapidly evolving cloud-native ecosystem. Containers transformed how we package and deploy applications, but they came with inherent challenges. Kubernetes is a platform for deploying and managing containerized applications at scale. It also abstracts underlying infrastructure, making it easier to deploy and manage applications across heterogenous clouds and on-premises environments. The Kubernetes Book offers a beginner-friendly approach to mastering Kubernetes architecture and core concepts such as Pods, Deployments, Services, StatefulSets, Ingress, ConfigMaps, and more. It also demystifies the Kubernetes API, teaches you how to secure Kubernetes, and brings you up to speed with important cloud-native concepts such as microservices, declarative configuration, desired state, reconciliation, and more. 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. ★ The Kubernetes Book is updated annually, meaning it's always up to date with the latest and greatest in the Kubernetes and cloud-native ecosystems.

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! 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.

Quick Start Kubernetes

Start from scratch and develop the essential skills needed to create, deploy, and manage cloud-native applications using Docker Key FeaturesGet a solid understanding of Docker and containersOvercome common problems while containerizing an applicationMaster Docker commands needed for creating, deploying, and running applicationsBook Description Most applications, even the funky cloud-native microservices ones, need high-performance, production-grade infrastructure to run on. Having impeccable knowledge of Docker will help you to thrive in the modern cloud-first world. With this book, you'll gain the skills you need to work with Docker and its containers. The book begins with an introduction to containers and explains its functionality and application in the real world. You'll then get an overview of VMware, Kubernetes, and Docker and learn to install Docker on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Once you've understood the Ops and Dev perspective of Docker, you'll be able to see the big picture and understand what Docker exactly does. The book then turns its attention to the more technical aspects, guiding your through practical exercises covering Docker engine, Docker images, and Docker containers. You'll learn techniques for containerizing an app, deploying apps with Docker Compose, and managing cloud-native applications with Swarm. You'll also build Docker networks and Docker overlay networks and handle applications that write persistent data. Finally, you'll deploy apps with Docker stacks and secure your Docker environment. By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed in Docker and containers and have developed the skills to create, deploy, and run applications on the cloud. What you will learnBecome familiar with the applications of Docker and containersDiscover how to pull images into Docker host's local registryFind out how to containerize an appBuild and test a Docker overlay network in the swarm modeUse Docker compose to deploy and manage multi-container applicationsSecurely share sensitive data with containers and Swarm servicesWho this book is for Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer looking to utilize Docker to develop and operate cloud-native microservices apps, this book is for you. Anyone who wants to learn Docker orchestration, networking, imaging, and security will also find it useful. No prior knowledge of Docker is necessary.
