Advanced Platform Development with Kubernetes: Enabling Data Management, the Internet of Things, Blockchain, and Machine Learning

By James L. Richards

Leverage Kubernetes for the rapid adoption of emerging technologies. Kubernetes is the future of enterprise platform development and has become the most popular, and often considered the most robust, container orchestration system available today. This book focuses on platforming technologies that power the Internet of Things, Blockchain, Machine Learning, and the many layers of data and application management supporting them.

Advanced Platform Development with Kubernetes takes you through the process of building platforms with these in-demand capabilities. You'll progress through the development of Serverless, CICD integration, data processing pipelines, event queues, distributed query engines, modern data warehouses, data lakes, distributed object storage, indexing and analytics, data routing and transformation, query engines, and data science/machine learning environments. You'll also see how to implement and tie together numerous essential and trending technologies including: Kafka, NiFi, Airflow, Hive, Keycloak, Cassandra, MySQL, Zookeeper, Mosquitto, Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Presto, Mino, OpenFaaS, and Ethereum.

The book uses Golang and Python to demonstrate the development integration of custom container and Serverless functions, including interaction with the Kubernetes API. The exercises throughout teach Kubernetes through the lens of platform development, expressing the power and flexibility of Kubernetes with clear and pragmatic examples. Discover why Kubernetes is an excellent choice for any individual or organization looking to embark on developing a successful data and application platform.

What You'll Learn

Configure and install Kubernetes and k3s on vendor-neutral platforms, including generic virtual machines and bare metalImplement an integrated development toolchain for continuous integration and deploymentUse data pipelines with MQTT, NiFi, Logstash, Kafka and ElasticsearchInstall a serverless platform with OpenFaaSExplore blockchain network capabilities with Ethereum Support a multi-tenant data science platform and web IDE with JupyterHub, MLflow and Seldon CoreBuild a hybrid cluster, securely bridging on-premise and cloud-based Kubernetes nodes

Who This Book Is For

System and software architects, full-stack developers, programmers, and DevOps engineers with some experience building and using containers. This book also targets readers who have started with Kubernetes and need to progress from a basic understanding of the technology and "Hello World" example to more productive, career-building projects.

Highly informative to experienced SQL 2000 DBAs

This book is written primarily for the experienced SQL 2000 DBAs who need to know the additions and changes of SQL 2005. Even though SQL 2005 is substantially different from SQL 2000, they are also highly similar. The book focuses on the differences. As most SQL books, the book lacks details on transactions and locking. Also, data mirroring and replication could have been more detailed and refined. Given this was one of...

Good information, well organized

I enjoyed reading this book. It has a lot of information and it is well organized. Even if it is on the beta edition, all of its content applies to the RTM version as well.

History of this book

This is in response to review by NetDeveloper "Robert" on October 23rd. It is very common for companies to publish on company name, instead of individual employee names. A lot of white papers on Microsoft and other Web site are published under "Microsoft Corporation" author - and there is no trace of who wrote it. There is nothing wrong with it (as long as content is good and you learned something from it). I know history...

Loaded with (up-to-date) information on SQL 2005

Wow!! Just the book I have been waiting for on SQL Server 2005 - contains material for beginners and advanced SQL Server 2005 professionals, covering administration, programming, and BI aspects. The best thing is that the book is based on "stable" June CTP and contains most recent information. I looked for other available titles on SQL Server 2005 - either they are not yet published (scheduled for Dec 2005 or Jan 2006) or...
