Kick-start your learning journey and implement both Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies in real-life scenarios with this essential, practical guide to the KCNA exam

Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Key Features

- Gain an in-depth understanding of cloud-native computing and Kubernetes concepts
- Prepare for the KCNA exam with the help of practical examples and mock exams
- Manage your applications better with Kubernetes container orchestration

Book Description

The job market related to the cloud and cloud-native technologies is both growing and becoming increasingly competitive, making certifications like KCNA a great way to stand out from the crowd and learn about the latest advancements in cloud technologies.

Becoming KCNA Certified doesn't just give you the practical skills needed to deploy and connect applications in Kubernetes, but it also prepares you to pass the Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) exam on your first attempt.

The book starts by introducing you to cloud-native computing, containers, and Kubernetes through practical examples, allowing you to test the theory out for yourself. You'll learn how to configure and provide storage for your Kubernetes-managed applications and explore the principles of modern cloud-native architecture and application delivery, giving you a well-rounded view of the subject. Once you've been through the theoretical and practical aspects of the book, you'll get the chance to test what you’ve learnt with two mock exams, with explanations of the answers, so you'll be well-prepared to appear for the KCNA exam.

By the end of this Kubernetes book, you'll have everything you need to pass the KCNA exam and forge a career in Kubernetes and cloud-native computing.

What you will learn

- Get to grips with Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and its projects
- Build, configure, and run containers with Docker
- Bootstrap minimal Kubernetes clusters for learning
- Manage and encrypt container traffic with Service Mesh
- Deploy, configure, and update applications on Kubernetes
- Control and connect the applications that run on Kubernetes
- Manage storage and provide observability on Kubernetes
- Automate software development with CI/CD and GitOps

Who This Book Is For

This book is for DevOps engineers, system administrators, developers, fresh IT graduates, or anyone interested in cloud native architecture, applications, and technologies. Those with relevant work experience looking to upskill themselves in order to manage their applications with Kubernetes in a better way will also find this book helpful. Familiarity with IT fundamentals, networks, and command line interface (CLI) is required, but no prior knowledge of Kubernetes, docker, or cloud services is needed to get started with this book.

主要特點：

- 深入了解雲原生計算和Kubernetes概念
- 通過實際示例和模擬考試準備KCNA考試
- 通過Kubernetes容器編排更好地管理應用程序

書籍描述：

與雲和雲原生技術相關的就業市場正在增長，競爭也越來越激烈，因此像KCNA這樣的認證是脫穎而出並了解雲技術最新進展的絕佳方式。

成為KCNA認證不僅能夠提供部署和連接Kubernetes應用程序所需的實踐技能，還能夠幫助你在第一次嘗試中通過Kubernetes和雲原生副理（KCNA）考試。

本書首先通過實際示例介紹雲原生計算、容器和Kubernetes，讓你可以自己測試理論。你將學習如何配置和為Kubernetes管理的應用程序提供存儲，並探索現代雲原生架構和應用程序交付的原則，從而全面了解該主題。在經歷了書籍的理論和實踐方面後，你將有機會通過兩個模擬考試來測試你所學的知識，並提供答案解釋，以便你為KCNA考試做好充分準備。

通過閱讀本書，你將擁有通過KCNA考試並在Kubernetes和雲原生計算領域打造職業生涯所需的一切。

你將學到什麼：

- 瞭解Cloud Native Computing Foundation（CNCF）及其項目
- 使用Docker構建、配置和運行容器
- 為學習構建最小的Kubernetes集群
- 使用Service Mesh管理和加密容器流量
- 在Kubernetes上部署、配置和更新應用程序
- 控制和連接在Kubernetes上運行的應用程序
- 在Kubernetes上管理存儲並提供可觀察性
- 使用CI/CD和GitOps自動化軟件開發

本書適合對雲原生架構、應用程序和技術感興趣的DevOps工程師、系統管理員、開發人員、新鮮的IT畢業生，以及希望通過提升自己的相關工作經驗以更好地管理他們的應用程序的人。需要熟悉IT基礎知識、網絡和命令行界面（CLI），但不需要事先了解Kubernetes、Docker或雲服務即可開始閱讀本書。
