Mastering Kubernetes isn't just a reference, it's your definitive playbook for building rock-solid, scalable, and resilient cloud-native applications and services that thrive on clusters from a single node to a global microservices mesh. Whether you're operating a production-grade Kubernetes control plane or architecting multi-cloud deployments, this book equips you with the patterns, practices, and deep-dive strategies to deliver mission-critical Kubernetes solutions with confidence. What You'll Learn Core Architecture & Reconciliation - Delve into the reconciliation loop, controllers, and custom operators for self-healing systems - Scale a high-availability control plane: API servers, etcd clusters, leader elections - Organize your cluster with labels, selectors, and annotations for dynamic workload management Workloads & Update Strategies - Master Pods, Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, Jobs, and CronJobs - Implement rolling updates, rollbacks, blue-green, and canary release patterns - Tune resource requests, limits, HPA/VPA autoscaling, and affinity rules for performance Networking & Service Meshes - Configure Services, Endpoints, Ingress controllers, and external load balancers - Choose and customize CNI plugins for flat networking, policy enforcement, and multitenancy - Integrate Istio or Linkerd for secure, zero-trust routing, traffic shaping, and mTLS Configuration & Secrets Management - Manage ConfigMaps and Secrets with encryption, external vaults, and admission controls - Define RBAC roles, Pod Security Standards, and network policies for cluster hardening - Extend Kubernetes with CRDs, webhooks, and GitOps-driven configuration workflows Storage & Data Persistence - Provision PersistentVolumes, PVCs, StorageClasses, and CSI drivers for any storage backend - Architect dynamic provisioning, replication, and snapshot strategies for stateful apps - Optimize I/O performance with caching layers, volume resizing, and tiered storage Observability & Resilience - Centralize logging with the EFK stack and correlate logs with Prometheus metrics - Instrument distributed tracing via OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, or commercial APMs - Build fault-tolerant workflows with circuit breakers, retries, Pod disruption budgets, and chaos testing Who This Book Is For - Kubernetes administrators and cluster operators managing large-scale deployments - DevOps engineers and SREs automating CI/CD, observability, and platform provisioning - Application developers building cloud-native microservices and custom operators - Platform architects defining best practices for security, reliability, and continuous delivery With production-tested YAML manifests, reusable Helm charts, and end-to-end examples, Mastering Kubernetes is the essential guide to building future-proof, high-velocity, and resilient systems where every pod, node, and millisecond counts.
