Networking and Kubernetes

Kubernetes Networking is an essential guide for anyone who wants to deploy, manage, or troubleshoot a production-scale Kubernetes network.

Understanding Kubernetes clusters isn't enough to operate Kubernetes at scale. Every layer of the stack--the network, operating system, and Kubernetes--depends on the layer below. Successful administrators need to understand each layer and how it works across deployments on-premises, in the cloud, and with managed services. Kubernetes Networking clearly guides administrators through the layers of complexity and abstraction that come with running a Kubernetes network. It covers:

• The Kubernetes networking model
• The CNCF Container Network Interface Project and how to choose the best interface for your clusters
• The networking and Linux primitives that power Kubernetes
• How to quickly troubleshoot networking issues and prevent downtime
• Cloud networking and Kubernetes with the three major providers: AWS, GCP, and Azure
• The pros and cons of various network tools--and how to select the best ones for your stack
