About This Book

**Transform Your Application Deployment Skills with Production-Ready Kubernetes Hosting** In today's cloud-native world, hosting applications requires more than basic deployment knowledge. This comprehensive guide takes you through the complete journey of hosting real applications on Kubernetes, from initial containerization to production-ready deployments that can handle enterprise-scale traffic. **Why This Book Stands Apart** Unlike theoretical Kubernetes guides, this book focuses exclusively on practical application hosting scenarios. Every chapter builds upon real-world hosting challenges, providing you with battle-tested solutions and industry best practices that you can immediately apply to your own projects. **What You'll Build and Learn** Working with a complete example application throughout the book, you'll master every aspect of Kubernetes hosting. From creating your first container to implementing sophisticated auto-scaling and monitoring solutions, each chapter adds another layer to your hosting expertise. The book covers critical hosting topics including service mesh configuration, database integration, TLS certificate management, and CI/CD pipeline setup. You'll learn how to handle configuration management, implement proper security practices, and optimize costs while maintaining high availability. **Practical Tools and Templates Included** Beyond theoretical knowledge, this book provides extensive practical resources including ready-to-use YAML templates, troubleshooting guides, CLI cheat sheets, and cost optimization strategies. These resources ensure you can implement professional-grade hosting solutions immediately. **Real-World Focus** Every technique and strategy in this book has been tested in production environments. You'll learn not just how to deploy applications, but how to host them reliably, securely, and cost-effectively at scale. Whether you're transitioning from traditional hosting methods or looking to advance your Kubernetes skills, this book provides the comprehensive knowledge needed to excel in modern application hosting.
