Book Description:
In today's data-driven world, organizations across different sectors need scalable and efficient solutions for processing large volumes of data. Kubernetes offers an open-source and cost-effective platform for deploying and managing big data tools and workloads, ensuring optimal resource utilization and minimizing operational overhead. If you want to master the art of building and deploying big data solutions using Kubernetes, then this book is for you.
Written by an experienced data specialist, Big Data on Kubernetes takes you through the entire process of developing scalable and resilient data pipelines, with a focus on practical implementation. Starting with the basics, you'll progress toward learning how to install Docker and run your first containerized applications. You'll then explore Kubernetes architecture and understand its core components. This knowledge will pave the way for exploring a variety of essential tools for big data processing such as Apache Spark and Apache Airflow. You'll also learn how to install and configure these tools on Kubernetes clusters. Throughout the book, you'll gain hands-on experience building a complete big data stack on Kubernetes.
By the end of this Kubernetes book, you'll be equipped with the skills and knowledge you need to tackle real-world big data challenges with confidence.
What You Will Learn:
- Install and use Docker to run containers and build concise images
- Gain a deep understanding of Kubernetes architecture and its components
- Deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters on different cloud platforms
- Implement and manage data pipelines using Apache Spark and Apache Airflow
- Deploy and configure Apache Kafka for real-time data ingestion and processing
- Build and orchestrate a complete big data pipeline using open-source tools
- Deploy Generative AI applications on a Kubernetes-based architecture
