Kubernetes in Production Best Practices: Build and manage highly available production-ready Kubernetes clusters
Design, build, and operate scalable and reliable Kubernetes infrastructure for production
Key FeaturesLeverage industry best practices to build and manage production-grade Kubernetes infrastructureLearn to architect scalable Kubernetes clusters for production, harden container security, and fine-tune resource managementUnderstand, manage, and operate complex business workloads confidentlyBook DescriptionKubernetes in Production Best Practices is a blueprint and reference book for anyone who wants to leverage Kubernetes to manage their applications and services in production, following cloud industry standards, and applying best practices to achieve scaling, availability, operational excellence, and cost optimization.
The book will help you to design Kubernetes production clusters, provision them using infrastructure and configuration as code (CAC), optimize performance, harden security, and tune resource usage.
There are different ways of using Kubernetes, including deployment from scratch to your own hardware through to using a fully managed service in the public cloud. The most common way to deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters is to use a public cloud-managed service from either AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This book covers Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), the AWS-managed version of Kubernetes. You’ll get to grips with implementation details specific to AWS and EKS, which will enable you to understand the design concepts, implementation best practices, and configuration relating to other cloud-managed services. Throughout the book, you’ll discover standard and cloud-agnostic tools to provision and configure the infrastructure, such as Terraform and Ansible.
By the end of this Kubernetes book, you’ll be able to confidently operate and manage your production environments using Kubernetes.
What you will learnExplore the different infrastructure architectures for Kubernetes deploymentImplement optimal open source and commercial storage management solutionsDiscover best practices for provisioning and configuring Kubernetes clusters, such as infrastructure as code and CACConfigure the cluster networking plugin and other core networking components and learn how to get the best out of themApply the latest industry tools and best practices to secure your Kubernetes environmentDeploy core observability stacks such as monitoring and logging to your infrastructure and fine-tune itWho This Book Is ForThis book is for cloud infrastructure experts, DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers, and engineering managers looking to design and operate Kubernetes infrastructure for production. Basic knowledge of Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Linux, and AWS is needed to get the most out of this book.

I have so much mixed feelings about this book.
On one hand it touches upon all the important tools that are needed to create successful Kubernetes platforms and establishes a short baseline around all the best practices.
But on the other I felt like this book tries to talk about everything so generally it does not manage to talk about everything too well. I feel like this book should be titled "How to setup cluster on EKS with essential tooling". Reading this book is kind of like reading a tutorial not a book. The author gives you steps and code for setting up everything while not explaining much along the way. A lot of the book is spent explaining Terraform/Ansible code and not Kubernetes. Also, most of the book is only relevant to AWS and not the other cloud providers.
If you are looking at this book for the purpose of getting a quick up and running production cluster on AWS then you are at the right place.
If you are looking for deep technical knowledge about how things work in the background and how to make informed decisions, look somewhere else.

Extremally detailed and useful for platform engineers.
Too much for application developers.
