Start using Kubernetes in complex big data and enterprise applications, including Docker containers. Starting with installing Kubernetes on a single node, the book introduces Kubernetes with a simple Hello example and discusses using environment variables in Kubernetes.
Next, Kubernetes Microservices with Docker discusses using Kubernetes with all major groups of technologies such as relational databases, NoSQL databases, and in the Apache Hadoop ecosystem.
The book concludes with using multi container pods and installing Kubernetes on a multi node cluster.

"a concise but clear introduction to containers, Docker and Kubernetes, using simple real-world examples to pass on the core concepts, via repetition, and is a very useful enabler." 10/10

"I find myself referring to the book about 100 times a day, while installing Docker and Kubernetes, just to get everything started and configured properly before I start deploying services. ... I would thus recommend the book to those starting off with Docker, with the caveat that they would eventually need to see a number of Docker project examples to determine how they can extend the technology for their projects." (Mariam Kiran, Computing Reviews, November, 2016)
