Design, deploy, and scale cloud-native applications with Kubernetes mastery!
Key Features
? End-to-end Kubernetes mastery with hands-on, enterprise-grade labs.
? Architect resilient, secure, and multi-cloud native applications at scale.
? Proven DevOps, automation, and observability strategies for enterprises.
Book Description
Kubernetes has rapidly evolved into the foundation of modern cloud-native systems, making it indispensable for professionals building scalable and resilient applications. Ultimate Kubernetes for Cloud-Native Applications takes you beyond theory into practical mastery, blending Kubernetes with the essential cloud-native tech stack-including containers, Helm, Terraform, GitOps, Prometheus, Grafana, Istio, and multi-cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. Every chapter is designed to showcase how these technologies converge to deliver enterprise-grade scalability, security, and automation.
You will begin with the fundamentals of Kubernetes architecture and cluster setup before progressing into advanced topics such as CI/CD pipelines, service mesh, hybrid cloud, observability, and stateful workloads. With hands-on YAML labs, architectural blueprints, and case studies mirroring real-world challenges, the book ensures that you evolve from deploying simple clusters to orchestrating enterprise-scale, production-ready environments.
What you will learn
? Design and deploy scalable Kubernetes clusters for enterprise workloads.
? Run stateful databases with persistence using StatefulSets on AKS.
? Implement DevOps automation with Helm, Terraform, and GitOps pipelines.
