Kubernetes in Action - Beyond the basics

The book “Kubernetes in Action”, so let’s learn some interesting points of its Part 3 section - Beyond the basics.

In this talk, we will quickly recap - Core concepts like importance of labels, tags & other metadata, and then focus on:

* Architecture
* Security
* Networking and service discover resources
* Utilising Computation resources
* Load balancer

Not only we learn the some of the examples given in the book but as well as the alternate ways of doing it using the other Kubernetes resources/APIs that can easily integrate with the Kubernetes objects.

For example: understanding the inbuilt Kubernetes load balancer, external cloud provider load balancer and usage of Nginix based load balancer using Ingress, Linkerd, Envoy.

This talk is clearly for beginners, but also understanding with real world analogy can clarify doubts !
