Programming Kubernetes: Developing Cloud-Native Applications

Michael Hausenblas, Stefan Schimanski

If you’re looking to develop native applications in Kubernetes, this is your guide. Developers and AppOps administrators will learn how to build Kubernetes-native applications that interact directly with the API server to query or update the state of resources. AWS developer advocate Michael Hausenblas and Red Hat principal software engineer Stefan Schimanski explain the characteristics of these apps and show you how to program Kubernetes to build them.

The Kubernetes Operator Framework Book: Overcome complex Kubernetes cluster management challenges with automation toolkits

Michael Dame

Beginning with operators and Operator Framework fundamentals, the book delves into how the different components of Operator Framework (such as the Operator SDK, Operator Lifecycle Manager, and OperatorHub.io) are used to build operators. You'll learn how to write a basic operator, interact with a Kubernetes cluster in code, and distribute that operator to users. As you advance, you'll be able to develop a sample operator in the Go programming language using Operator SDK tools before running it locally with Operator Lifecycle Manager, and also learn how to package an operator bundle for distribution. The book covers best practices as well as sample applications and case studies based on real-world operators to help you implement the concepts you've learned.

Kubernetes Programming with Go: Programming Kubernetes Clients and Operators Using Go and the Kubernetes API

Philippe Martin

This book begins by introducing the structure of the Kubernetes API and which operations it serves. Following chapters demonstrate how to write native Kubernetes resources definitions using Go structures defined in the API and API Machinery libraries. Miscellaneous utilities are described to help you work with different resource fields and to convert your resource definitions to or from YAML or JSON. Next, you will learn how to interact with the Kubernetes API server to create, delete, update, and monitor resources in a cluster using the client-go library. A complete chapter is devoted to tools provided to test your programs using the client-go library. An example follows to wrap up the first part of the book, describing how to write a kubectl plugin. Next, you will learn how to extend the Kubernetes API using Custom Resource Definitions, and how to write Kubernetes resources in a generic way as well as how to create your own resources using the unstructured concept. The next chapters delve into the controller-runtime library, useful for extending Kubernetes by writing operators, and the kubebuilder framework, which leverages this library, to help you start writing operators in minutes.

Building Multi-Tenant SaaS Architectures: Principles, Practices, and Patterns Using AWS

Tod Golding

Software as a service (SaaS) is on the path to becoming the de facto model for building, delivering, and operating software solutions. Adopting a multi-tenant SaaS model requires builders to take on a broad range of new architecture, implementation, and operational challenges. How data is partitioned, how resources are isolated, how tenants are authenticated, how microservices are built—these are just a few of the many areas that need to be on your radar when you're designing and creating SaaS offerings.

gRPC Microservices in Go

Hüseyin Babal

The powerful gRPC Remote Procedure Call framework delivers superior speed and security over protocols like REST. When paired with Golang’s low-level efficiency and flexibility, gRPC and Go become a killer combination for latency-sensitive microservices applications. gRPC Microservices in Go shows you how to utilize these powerful tools to build production-grade microservices. You’ll learn to develop microservice inter-service communication patterns that are powered by gRPC, design backward compatible APIs, and apply hexagonal architecture to microservices.

Build an Orchestrator in Go (From Scratch)

Tim Boring

Orchestration systems like Kubernetes can seem like a black box: you deploy to the cloud and it magically handles everything you need. That might seem perfect—until something goes wrong and you don’t know how to find and fix your problems. Build an Orchestrator in Go (From Scratch) reveals the inner workings of orchestration frameworks by guiding you through creating your own.
