Kubernetes Architecture / Design /?

Question

I’m trying to figure out and learn the patterns and best practices on moving a bunch of Docker containers I have for an application into Kubernetes. Things like, pod design, services, deployments, etc. For example, I could create a Pod with the single web and application containers in them, but that’d not be a good design.

Searching for things like architecture and design with Kubernetes just seems to yield topics on the product’s architecture or how to implement a Kubernetes cluster, and not the overlay of designing the pods, services, etc.

What does the community generally refer to this application later design in the Kubernetes world, and can anyone refer me to a 101 on this topic please?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Kubernetes is a complex system, and learning step by step is the best way to gain expertise. What I recommend you is documentation about Kubernetes, from where you can learn about each of components.

Another good option is to review 70 best K8S tutorials, which are categorized in many ways.

Designing and running applications with scalability, portability, and robustness in mind can be challenging. Here are great resources about it:

• Architecting applications for Kubernetes
• Using Kubernetes in production, lessons learned
• Kubernetes Design Principles from Google
