What is this book about?
Containerization is currently known to be one of the best ways to implement DevOps. While Docker introduced containers and changed the DevOps era, Google developed an extensive container orchestration system, Kubernetes, which is now considered the frontrunner in container orchestration. With the help of this book, you’ll explore the efficiency of managing applications running on Kubernetes using Helm.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Develop an enterprise automation strategy on Kubernetes using Helm
- Create easily consumable and configurable Helm charts
- Use Helm in orchestration tooling and Kubernetes operators
- Explore best practices for application delivery and life cycle management
- Leverage Helm in a secure and stable manner that is fit for your enterprise
