Kubernetes Best Practices

Kubernetes (K8s) has taken the world of app development and delivery by storm in the last five years. The container orchestration project—bolstered by the rise of microservices—has fundamentally changed how we think about structuring applications, managing deployments, and using infrastructure.

Kubernetes has dramatically simplified our ability to deliver distributed global or multiregion applications. And, when used in partnership with a distributed database or as a platform to directly manage stateful services like databases, Kubernetes creates the ideal platform for the next generation of breakthrough applications.

In this O’Reilly ebook excerpt, sponsored by Cockroach Labs, you’ll learn about best practices for:

– Worldwide application distribution and staging
– Managing state and stateful applications
