Prepare CKA & CKAD Certifications
Prepare for the Kubernetes Application Developer and Administrator Certifications, essential to help companies conduct their projects into Kubernetes.
About the Book
Kubernetes is a recent platform, based on more than ten years of experience in cloud computing by big companies like Google. It is considered complex as it includes all the concepts to run diverse applications in a large variety of environments.
This book, based on the curricula of the two Kubernetes Certifications (Application Developer and Administrator), introduces all the concepts and tools necessary to start administer a Kubernetes cluster and deploy applications in production.
Administrators and application developers having a good knowledge in microservices development and deployment will get the necessary knowledge to deploy the application they have in charge to Kubernetes.
According to a survey conducted by the CNCF in 2018, 58% of respondents are using Kubernetes in production, while 42% are evaluating it for future use. In comparison, 40% of enterprise companies (5000+) are running Kubernetes in production.
About the Author
Philippe Martin is working with Kubernetes for two years, first by creating an Operator to deploy video CDNs into the cloud, then helping companies deploying their applications into Kubernetes. Philippe passed its CKAD certification one year ago and just passed the CKA certification.
Philippe has a long experience with distributed systems and open source software: he started his career twenty years ago creating thin clients based on the Linux kernel and open source components.
Philippe is active in the development of Kubernetes and especially its documentation, as it participates in the translation of the official documentation in French, auto-edits two reference books about the Kubernetes API and kubectl and is responsible for the french translation of the Kubernetes Dashboard.
