DevOps with OpenShift
For many organizations, a big part of DevOps appeal is software automation using infrastructure-as-code techniques. This book presents developers, architects, and infra-ops engineers with a more practical option. You'll learn how a container-centric approach from OpenShift, Red Hat's cloud-based PaaS, can help your team deliver quality software through a self-service view of IT infrastructure. Three OpenShift experts at Red Hat explain how to configure Docker application containers and the Kubernetes cluster manager with OpenShift's developer - and operational-centric tools. Discover how this infrastructure-agnostic container management platform can help companies navigate the murky area where infrastructure-as-code ends and application automation begins. Get an application-centric view of automation—and understand why it's important; Learn patterns and practical examples for managing continuous deployments such as rolling, A/B, blue-green, and canary; Implement continuous inte ...

Kubernetes: Up and Running
Legend has it that Google deploys over two billion application containers a week. How's that possible? Google revealed the secret through a project called Kubernetes, an open source cluster orchestrator (based on its internal Borg system) that radically simplifies the task of building, deploying, and maintaining scalable distributed systems in the cloud. This practical guide shows you how Kubernetes and container technology can help you achieve new levels of velocity, agility, reliability, and efficiency. Authors Kelsey Hightower, Brendan Burns, and Joe Beda - who've worked on Kubernetes at Google and other organizatons - explain how this system fits into the lifecycle of a distributed application. You will learn how to use tools and APIs to automate scalable distributed systems, whether it is for online services, machine-learning applications, or a cluster of Raspberry Pi computers.
