Selling your CTO on the merits of OpenShift and Kubernetes is only the beginning. To operate and scale OpenShift, you also need to know how to manage and expose resources to application teams and continuously deliver changes to the applications running in these environments. With this practical book, new and experienced developers and operators will learn specific techniques for operationalizing OpenShift and Kubernetes in the enterprise.
Industry experts Michael Elder, Jake Kitchener, and Brad Topol show you how to run OpenShift and Kubernetes in production and deliver your applications to a highly available, secure, and scalable platform. You’ll learn how to build a strong foundation in advanced cluster operational topics, such as tenancy management, scheduling and capacity management, cost management, continuous delivery, and more.
- Examine the fundamental concepts of Kubernetes architecture
- Get different Kubernetes and OpenShift environments up and running
- Dive into advanced resource management topics, including capacity planning
- Learn how to support high availability inside a single cluster
- Use production-level approaches for continuous delivery and code promotion across clusters
- Explore hybrid cloud use cases, including multicluster provisioning, upgrading, and policy support
- Devise and deliver disaster recovery strategies
From the Publisher




From the Preface
OpenShift, the Red Hat distribution of Kubernetes, is rapidly becoming the platform of choice for containerized applications. As enterprises attempt to scale and operate OpenShift, there are many practices that must be understood to manage resources, expose those resources for application teams, govern those resources, and deliver changes continuously to those environments.
Based on our expertise built on managing and supporting thousands of bare metal and virtual machine clusters for some of the largest enterprise applications, we will focus on how to operationalize both basic Kubernetes and OpenShift with specific techniques and examples to make your organization effective.
Who This Book Is For
This book is for DevOps engineers, Kubernetes and OpenShift platform operations engineers, site reliability engineers, NetOps engineers, cloud native computing application developers, and IT architects.
In addition, the book will be of particular interest to those who either create and manage Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters or consume and use these platforms for delivering applications and services.
Why We Wrote This Book
Although a lot of content exists on how to get started with Kubernetes and OpenShift, our goal was to focus on a book that covered more advanced concepts, such as the effective management of cluster resources and availability models that can be applied to ensure business continuity. In addition, we wanted to dig deep into topics, tools, and best practices that are critical to operating Kubernetes and OpenShift successfully in production environments. We give particular attention to topics like security, advanced resource management, continuous delivery, multicluster management, and high availability. Additionally, the book explores best practices for supporting hybrid cloud applications, which are applications that integrate the best features and functions from a combination of multiple cloud environments coupled with traditional IT environments. In this book, we offer our in-depth knowledge and experience of these production-level topics to the broader OpenShift and Kubernetes community.
