Kubernetes Patterns: 0. Introduction
This article is talking about the book of Kubernetes Patterns, Reuseable Elements for Designing Cloud-Native Applications by Bilgin Ibryam & Roland Huß.
As a developer with cloud-native applications, I can’t wait for sharing my ideas about this book. Like the book of Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by the Gang of Four, this book introduces some common use cases, best practices and principles for Kubernetes. No matter what kind of Kubernetes you are working on, managed (by cloud platforms, eg: AWS, GCP, etc.) or on-premise, it could be definitely helpful.
I would try to summarize the points I learned or found interesting or important and also add my corresponding experiences. It really covers lots of scenarios in the work you might meet so I highly recommend this book if you are working or will work with Kubernetes.
In the first chapter of Introduction, some basic but important Kubernetes concepts are introduced which are required to read this book but not enough. Another recommendation for readers is to know Kubernetes platform a little and be aware of its architecture and mechanism, that helps you understand the patterns more comprehensively.
