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...

Demystify Kubernetes, the architecture and how to deploy apps. Brought to you by best-selling author and global training guru Nigel Poulton, Quick Start Kubernetes is the fastest way to wrap your head around Kubernetes and get your hands-on deploying a simple app. When you've finished the book, you'll be ready to rock-and-roll with Kubernetes.

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 deploying and managing a simple app.

You’ll learn why we have Kubernetes, what it is, and where it’s going. On the theory front, you’ll learn about microservices, orchestration, why Kubernetes is the OS of the cloud, and Kubernetes architecture. On the hands-on front, you’ll build a cluster, containerize an app, deploy it, break it, see Kubernetes fix it, scale it, and perform a rolling update. And as this is a quick start guide, you’ll be up-to-speed in no time.

You'll learn:

- Why we have Kubernetes
- What Kubernetes is
- Where Kubernetes is going
- The fundamentals of Kubernetes architecture

You'll also perform the following hands-on tasks:

- Build a cluster
- Containerize an app
- Deploy the app to Kubernetes
- Break the app and watch it self-heal
- Scale the app
- Perform a rolling update

Chapter overview:
