Take container cluster management to the next level by learning how to administer and configure Kubernetes on CoreOS. Apply suitable management design patterns such as configmaps, autoscaling, elastic resource usage, and high availability. Other features discussed include logging, scheduling, rolling updates, volumes, service types, and multiple cloud provider zones. The atomic unit of modular container service in Kubernetes is a Pod, which is a group of containers with a common filesystem and networking. The Kubernetes Pod abstraction enables design patterns for containerized applications similar to object-oriented design patterns. Containers provide benefits such as modularity, packaging, abstraction, and reuse. CoreOS Linux is used in the majority of the chapters, with other platforms discussed including CentOS with OpenShift and Debian 8 (Jessie).
