Kubernetes Design Patterns

Explores how to effectively build and manage containerized applications using Kubernetes by applying established design patterns. It covers core concepts and best practices for designing scalable, reliable, and maintainable applications on Kubernetes clusters.

The book delves into several key areas:

• Foundational Kubernetes patterns like Pod, Controller, and Service, which form the building blocks for application development.
• Structural patterns, such as Sidecar, Adapter, and Ambassador, used to extend and enhance application functionality.
• Behavioral patterns that focus on managing workloads, such as Job, DaemonSet, and ReplicaSet.
• Configuration and scaling patterns for handling application configurations and auto-scaling using Kubernetes-native tools.

It emphasizes leveraging Kubernetes features such as self-healing, dynamic scaling, and seamless deployments to optimize cloud-native applications. Through examples and practical use cases, the book helps developers apply these patterns to solve real-world problems and improve application resilience, performance, and security.
