Biography/History:

Poulton Nigel: Nigel Poulton is a cloud-native subject matter expert who spends his life creating books and training videos on the latest cloud technologies. He is the author of best-selling books on Docker and Kubernetes and the most popular online training videos on the same topic. He is a Docker Captain. Prior to this, Nigel has held various infrastructure roles for large enterprises. When he is not playing with technology, he is dreaming about it. When he is not dreaming about it, he is reading and watching sci-fi. He wishes he lived in the future so he could explore spacetime, the universe, and tons of other mind-blowing stuff. He likes cars, football (soccer), and food. He has a fabulous wife and three children. Joglekar Pushkar: Pushkar Joglekar is currently working as a defensive security engineer at the cross-roads of containers, applied machine learning, and distributed systems. In the last few years, he has built multiple secure by design production container deployments for a Fortune 100 company. When not securing containers, he spends his time exploring neighborhood bike trails and capturing beautiful sunsets with his camera while sipping home-made masala ginger chai. He lives with his wonderful wife, who happens to be the real engineer among them.

Summary:

Unlock the full potential of Kubernetes with this comprehensive course. Learn everything from fundamental principles to advanced security techniques. Perfect for IT professionals aiming to master container orchestrationKey FeaturesKubernetes architecture and use casesUse Kubernetes to deploy, self-heal, scale, and rollout your applicationsAdvanced features and real-world securityBook DescriptionContainers 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. 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. 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.What you will learnUnderstand the foundational principles of KubernetesDeploy and manage applications using KubernetesImplement and manage Kubernetes services and ingressUtilize namespaces & virtual clusters for resource managementSecure Kubernetes environments using API security and RBACManage Kubernetes storage, ConfigMaps, and secrets effectivelyWho this book is forThis course is designed for IT professionals, system administrators, developers, and DevOps engineers looking to deepen their understanding of Kubernetes. It is also suitable for cloud architects, software engineers, and technical leads who aim to leverage Kubernetes for efficient application deployment and management. Additionally, technical project managers and IT consultants who need a comprehensive grasp of container orchestration will find this course valuable. Familiarity with Docker and containers, and experience with the Linux command line is recommended.
