Deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters on a cloud efficientlyKey FeaturesDeploy highly scalable applications with Kubernetes on AzureLearn to scale your application infrastructure dynamically with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)Increase the efficiency of container orchestration service on the cloudBook DescriptionMicrosoft is now one of the most significant contributors to Kubernetes open source projects. Kubernetes helps to create, configure, and manage a cluster of virtual machines that are preconfigured to run containerized applications.This book will be your guide to performing successful container orchestration and deployment of Kubernetes clusters on Azure. You will get started by learning how to deploy and manage highly scalable applications, along with understanding how to set up a production-ready Kubernetes cluster on Azure. As you advance, you will learn how to reduce the complexity and operational overheads of managing a Kubernetes cluster on Azure.By the end of this book, you will not only be capable of deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters on Azure with ease, but also have the knowledge of best practices for working with advanced AKS concepts for complex systems.What you will learnUse the Kubernetes dashboard to review clusters and deployed applicationsFind out the benefits and limitations, and how to avoid potential problems while using AKSUnderstand the implementation of Microsoft toolchains such as Visual Studio Code and GitImplement simple and advanced AKS solutionsEnsure automated scalability and high reliability of your applications with Microsoft AKSApply kubectl commands to monitor applicationsWho this book is forIf you’re a cloud engineer, cloud solution provider, system administrator, site reliability engineer, or a developer interested in DevOps and are looking for an extensive guide to running Kubernetes in the Azure environment, then this book is for you. Although previous knowledge of Kubernetes is not expected, some experience with Linux and Docker containers would be beneficial.

Kick-start your DevOps career by learning how to effectively deploy Kubernetes on Azure in an easy, comprehensive, and fun way with hands-on coding tasksKey FeaturesUnderstand the fundamentals of Docker and KubernetesLearn to implement microservices architecture using the Kubernetes platformDiscover how you can scale your application workloads in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)Book DescriptionFrom managing versioning efficiently to improving security and portability, technologies such as Kubernetes and Docker have greatly helped cloud deployments and application development.Starting with an introduction to Docker, Kubernetes, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), this book will guide you through deploying an AKS cluster in different ways. You’ll then explore the Azure portal by deploying a sample guestbook application on AKS and installing complex Kubernetes apps using Helm. With the help of real-world examples, you'll also get to grips with scaling your application and cluster. As you advance, you'll understand how to overcome common challenges in AKS and secure your application with HTTPS and Azure AD (Active Directory). Finally, you’ll explore serverless functions such as HTTP triggered Azure functions and queue triggered functions.By the end of this Kubernetes book, you’ll be well-versed with the fundamentals of Azure Kubernetes Service and be able to deploy containerized workloads on Microsoft Azure with minimal management overhead.What you will learnPlan, configure, and run containerized applications in productionUse Docker to build apps in containers and deploy them on KubernetesImprove the configuration and deployment of apps on the Azure CloudStore your container images securely with Azure Container RegistryInstall complex Kubernetes applications using HelmIntegrate Kubernetes with multiple Azure PaaS services, such as databases, Event Hubs and Functions.Who this book is forThis book is for aspiring DevOps professionals, system administrators, developers, and site reliability engineers looking to understand test and deployment processes and improve their efficiency. If you’re new to working with containers and orchestration, you’ll find this book useful.

Understand the fundamentals of Kubernetes deployment on Azure with a learn-by-doing approachKey FeaturesGet to grips with the fundamentals of containers and KubernetesDeploy containerized applications using the Kubernetes platformLearn how you can scale your workloads and secure your application running in Azure Kubernetes ServiceBook DescriptionContainers and Kubernetes containers facilitate cloud deployments and application development by enabling efficient versioning with improved security and portability.With updated chapters on role-based access control, pod identity, storing secrets, and network security in AKS, this third edition begins by introducing you to containers, Kubernetes, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and guides you through deploying an AKS cluster in different ways. You will then delve into the specifics of Kubernetes by deploying a sample guestbook application on AKS and installing complex Kubernetes apps using Helm. With the help of real-world examples, you'll also get to grips with scaling your applications and clusters.As you advance, you'll learn how to overcome common challenges in AKS and secure your applications with HTTPS. You will also learn how to secure your clusters and applications in a dedicated section on security. In the final section, you’ll learn about advanced integrations, which give you the ability to create Azure databases and run serverless functions on AKS as well as the ability to integrate AKS with a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline using GitHub Actions.By the end of this Kubernetes book, you will be proficient in deploying containerized workloads on Microsoft Azure with minimal management overhead.What you will learnPlan, configure, and run containerized applications in production.Use Docker to build applications in containers and deploy them on Kubernetes.Monitor the AKS cluster and the application.Monitor your infrastructure and applications in Kubernetes using Azure Monitor.Secure your cluster and applications using Azure-native security tools.Connect an app to the Azure database.Store your container images securely with Azure Container Registry.Install complex Kubernetes applications using Helm.Integrate Kubernetes with multiple Azure PaaS services, such as databases, Azure Security Center, and Functions.Use GitHub Actions to perform continuous integration and continuous delivery to your cluster.Who this book is forIf you are an aspiring DevOps professional, system administrator, developer, or site reliability engineer interested in learning how to get the most out of containers and Kubernetes, then this book is for you.
