Hands-On Kubernetes on Windows: Effectively orchestrate Windows container workloads using Kubernetes

Build and deploy scalable cloud applications using Windows containers and Kubernetes

Key Features

• Run, deploy, and orchestrate containers on the Windows platform with this Kubernetes book

•

• Use Microsoft SQL Server 2019 as a data store to deploy Kubernetes applications written in .NET Framework

•

• Set up a Kubernetes development environment and deploy clusters with Windows Server 2019 nodes

Book Description

With the adoption of Windows containers in Kubernetes, you can now fully leverage the flexibility and robustness of the Kubernetes container orchestration system in the Windows ecosystem. This support will enable you to create new Windows applications and migrate existing ones to the cloud-native stack with the same ease as for Linux-oriented cloud applications.

This practical guide takes you through the key concepts involved in packaging Windows-distributed applications into containers and orchestrating these using Kubernetes. You'll also understand the current limitations of Windows support in Kubernetes. As you advance, you'll gain hands-on experience deploying a fully functional hybrid Linux/Windows Kubernetes cluster for development, and explore production scenarios in on-premises and cloud environments, such as Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service.

By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed with containerization, microservices architecture, and the critical considerations for running Kubernetes in production environments successfully.
