Kubernetes for Developers

A developer's field-guide to designing scalable services using KubernetesAbout This BookDevelop and run your software using containers within a Kubernetes environmentGet hands-on experience of using Kubernetes with DevOps concepts such as continuous integration, benchmark testing, monitoring, and so onPragmatic example-based approach showing how to use Kubernetes in the development processWho This Book Is ForIf you are a full-stack or back-end software developers interested, curious, or being asked to test as well as run the code you're creating, you can leverage Kubernetes to make that process simpler and consistent regardless of where you deploy. If you're looking for developer focused examples in NodeJS and Python for how to build, test, deploy, and run your code with Kubernetes, this is perfect for you.What You Will LearnBuild your software into containersDeploy and debug software running in containers within KubernetesDeclare and add configuration through KubernetesDefine how your application fits together, using internal and external servicesAdd feedback to your code to help Kubernetes manage your servicesMonitor and measure your services through integration testing and in production deploymentsIn DetailKubernetes is documented and typically approached from the perspective of someone running software that has already been built. Kubernetes may also be used to enhance the development process, enabling more consistent testing and analysis of code to help developers verify not only its correctness, but also its efficiency. This book introduces key Kubernetes concepts, coupled with examples of how to deploy and use them with a bit of Node.js and Python example code, so that you can quickly replicate and use that knowledge.You will begin by setting up Kubernetes to help you develop and package your code. We walk you through the setup and installation process before working with Kubernetes in the development environment. We then delve into concepts such as automating your build process, autonomic computing, debugging, and integration testing. This book covers all the concepts required for a developer to work with Kubernetes.By the end of this book, you will be in a position to use Kubernetes in development ecosystems.Style and approachThis book will cover examples using NodeJS and Python that walk you through building containers, defining your deployments, deploying, debugging, testing, and generally interacting with your code running on Kubernetes. The examples are focused on common development needs, and include pragmatic advice and the explanations behind that advice.
