preface

As technologists, we are naturally drawn to seeking out innovative ways of solving problems—whether that be through the use of new or existing approaches, frameworks, or technologies. One such technology both authors have been enthralled with over the last few years is Kubernetes. While Docker brought containers to the masses, it was Kubernetes that provided an extensible platform for running containers at scale.

We approached Kubernetes from different ends of the spectrum: one from an infrastructure mindset, understanding what it takes to build a Kubernetes cluster, and the other focusing on applications, looking to take advantage of the capabilities provided by the underlying infrastructure. There are several interwoven themes that apply to both infrastructure and application-focused individuals; one such area that remains a constant, whether using Kubernetes or not, is security.
