The recipes in this section assume that you have a functional Kubernetes cluster deployed after following one of the recommended methods described in Chapter 1, Building Production-Ready Kubernetes Clusters.

Kubernetes' command-line interface, kubectl, will be used for the rest of the recipes in this section since it's the main command-line interface for running commands against Kubernetes clusters. If you are using a Red Hat OpenShift cluster, you can replace kubectl with oc. All the commands are expected to function similarly.

The recipes in this section require a Git repository with a containerized project.
