Kubernetes can automate containerized applications, but reliable production systems require more than writing YAML and running kubectl commands.
Kubernetes Engineering is a practical, technically focused guide to container orchestration, cluster management, application networking, security, storage, scaling, troubleshooting, and production deployment.
Beginning with containers and Kubernetes architecture, this book explains how the control plane, worker nodes, Pods, controllers, Services, storage systems, and reconciliation loops work together. You will then build the operational skills needed to configure applications, route traffic, manage persistent data, secure workloads, automate releases, investigate failures, and operate Kubernetes environments confidently.
Inside, you will learn how to:
● Understand Kubernetes architecture, objects, desired state, and reconciliation● Set up a local practice cluster and work safely with kubectl and kubeconfig
● Write and validate Kubernetes YAML manifests
● Deploy applications with Pods, Deployments, Jobs, CronJobs, DaemonSets, and StatefulSets
● Perform rolling updates, inspect deployment history, and execute controlled rollbacks
● Manage application settings with ConfigMaps and Secrets
● Configure startup, readiness, and liveness probes
● Connect workloads using Services, EndpointSlices, cluster DNS, Ingress, and Gateway API
● Configure external access and HTTPS traffic routing
● Provision persistent storage with PersistentVolumes, claims, StorageClasses, and CSI drivers
● Operate databases and stateful applications with appropriate backup and restore procedures
● Control CPU and memory usage with requests, limits, quotas, and LimitRanges
● Schedule and distribute workloads using selectors, affinity, taints, tolerations, and topology constraints
● Scale applications with horizontal, vertical, and node autoscaling
● Protect clusters with RBAC, service accounts, security contexts, Pod Security Admission, NetworkPolicies, and admission controls
● Organize and customize manifests with version control, Kustomize, and Helm
● Understand custom resources, controllers, and Kubernetes operators
● Build a practical observability and troubleshooting workflow using logs, events, metrics, traces, alerts, and service-level objectives
● Administer nodes, perform upgrades, manage disruptions, and protect etcd
● Automate container delivery with CI/CD and GitOps using Argo CD or Flux
● Design highly available Kubernetes platforms and test recovery from production failures
● Deploy and operate a complete multi-component Kubernetes application
The book connects individual Kubernetes resources to the systems they create. Practical manifests, command examples, configuration patterns, troubleshooting tables, and black-and-white architecture diagrams demonstrate how application design, networking, security, storage, automation, and operations affect one another.
Whether you are a developer, DevOps engineer, cloud engineer, system administrator, platform engineer, or technical professional preparing to work with Kubernetes, this guide will help you move beyond isolated commands and build container platforms that are secure, observable, maintainable, and ready for production.
