It has been adopted by all leading vendors of cloud, on-prem, and hybrid infrastructure services: Microsoft (Azure AKS), Amazon (AWS EKS), IBM (IBM Cloud Kubernetes Services), Alibaba Cloud (ACK), RedHat (OpenShift), and Pivotal (PKS). Even though Kubernetes is offered by all of the market-leading cloud providers, the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offers anintegrated shell (Google Cloud Shell) and a $300 credit to get started, which makes it the ideal platform to not only learn Kubernetes but also to implement final production workloads.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat You Will Learn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet up a Kubernetes cluster in GCP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeploy simple Docker images using monolithic Pods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrange highly available and highly scalable applications using Deployments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAchieve zero-downtime deployments using the Service controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternalize configuration using ConfigMaps and Secrets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet up batch processes and recurrent tasks using Jobs and CronJobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall horizontal (sidecar pattern) services using DaemonSets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplement distributed, stateful backing stores using StatefulSets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho This Book Is For\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeginners with basic Linux admin and scripting skills (Bash and Python).
