Hands-On Kubernetes on Windows: Effectively orchestrate Windows container workloads using KubernetesBuild and deploy scalable cloud applications using Windows containers and Kubernetes Key FeaturesRun, deploy, and orchestrate containers on the Windows platform with this Kubernetes bookUse Microsoft SQL Server 2019 as a data store to deploy Kubernetes applications written in .NET FrameworkSet up a Kubernetes development environment and deploy clusters with Windows Server 2019 nodesBook DescriptionWith the adoption of Windows containers in Kubernetes, you can now fully leverage the flexibility and robustness of the Kubernetes container orchestration system in the Windows ecosystem. This support will enable you to create new Windows applications and migrate existing ones to the cloud-native stack with the same ease as for Linux-oriented cloud applications. This practical guide takes you through the key concepts involved in packaging Windows-distributed applications into containers and orchestrating these using Kubernetes. You'll also understand the current limitations of Windows support in Kubernetes. As you advance, you'll gain hands-on experience deploying a fully functional hybrid Linux/Windows Kubernetes cluster for development, and explore production scenarios in on-premises and cloud environments, such as Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service. By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed with containerization, microservices architecture, and the critical considerations for running Kubernetes in production environments successfully. What you will learnUnderstand containerization as a packaging format for applicationsCreate a development environment for Kubernetes on WindowsGrasp the key architectural concepts in KubernetesDiscover the current limitations of Kubernetes on the Windows platformProvision and interact with a Kubernetes cluster from a Windows machineCreate hybrid Windows Kubernetes clusters in on-premises and cloud environmentsWho this book is forThis book is for software developers, system administrators, DevOps engineers, and architects working with Kubernetes on Windows, Windows Server 2019, and Windows containers. Knowledge of Kubernetes as well as the Linux environment will help you get the most out of this book. |
