Kubernetes is not just the leading container orchestration solution — it has become the standard. Technology employees of all stripes love working with Kubernetes:

  • Developers love the extensibility of Kubernetes, which gives them maximum agility and flexibility when delivering cloud-native applications, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge.
  • Information technology operations (ITOps) teams love Kubernetes because it helps boost productivity, reduce costs and risks, and moves organizations closer to achieving their hybrid cloud goals.
  • CEOs and CIOs love Kubernetes because it helps significantly increase the agility and efficiency of their software development teams, enabling them to reduce the time and complexity associated with putting differentiated applications into production.

Simply put, Kubernetes makes it easier to manage software complexity. As enterprise applications become more complex, development and IT operations teams need a tool that can orchestrate that complexity. They need a way to launch all the services dependent on these applications, making sure the apps and services are healthy and can connect to one another.

This book provides you with a basic road map to successfully develop a Kubernetes strategy and select the appropriate Kubernetes management solution to address your needs. We include three detailed case studies from companies leading the way with Kubernetes and Rancher as their solution of choice. Our hope is that IT professionals and others who lead an organization of any size can see how other technology leaders have used Kubernetes to improve their operations.
