Deploy Kubernetes in the Real World with Confidence
Explore the Newest Enterprise-Grade Features in Kubernetes
Master Kubernetes network segmentation with detailed, step-by-step guidance. New and updated content on Kubernetes network policies shows you how to control traffic flow inside your cluster. Learn how to implement policies that control pod-to-pod communication, restrict external ingress into sensitive namespaces, and limit outbound egress—crucial techniques for maintaining secure and compliant enterprise environments.
This edition also expands monitoring coverage with a comprehensive discussion on Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenUnison. Discover how to collect Kubernetes metrics, write PromQL queries, manage alerts, and visualize performance data—complete with secure access and single sign-on (SSO) integration for production environments. Learn how to integrate metrics collection, create custom dashboards, manage user access, and enable SSO. This setup gives both visibility and control across workloads, with enterprise-grade access management built in.
