This book takes developers on a journey into the cloud with Docker and Kubernetes. It walks you
through the basics of Docker containers how they are built run and published and how the
Kubernetes system allows you to use containers to better manage a cloud native application.
Additionally it walks you through various issues in cloud architecture and how to design a
cloud architecture that will work with your application and your team. The book takes a unique
approach getting you immersed in each subject with tutorials then building up your technical
knowledge and finally backing up and thinking about more big-picture issues. Part one
introduces Docker building and working with Docker images and covering best practices for
Docker Containers. Part two covers the practicalities of cloud native and managing a Kubernetes
application including a full working example. The last part covers the design of cloud and
microservice architectures including the use of enterprise message queues multi-site
configurations and the common values that such architectures follow. This approach accelerates
learning and keeps you moving forward without leaving you behind. The appendices also contain a
wealth of worthwhile reference material for routine cloud application management. What You Will
