To efficiently deliver cloud-native software, your team needs a solid build pipeline, an efficient package manager and distribution mechanism, and APIs that reduce your team's cognitive load. This book will show you how to build custom platforms on top of Kubernetes--all with open-source tools such as Dapr, Knative, Argo CD and Rollouts, and Tekton. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the book\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003ePlatform Engineering on Kubernetes\u003c\/i\u003e starts by clearly defining the elements of a great Kubernetes-based platform. Then, it systematically introduces the tools you'll need to build a platform that exactly matches your organization's requirements. Hands-on examples and detailed code guide you through each step. By the end, you'll be able to create a complete platform to efficiently deliver cloud-native software without being tied to a specific cloud provider or vendor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePackage, version, distribute, and deploy with Helm, Tekton, Dagger and Argo CD\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImplement a multi-cloud infrastructure strategy using Crossplane\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProgressive upgrades with Knative Serving and Argo Rollouts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnable development teams with standard application-level APIs with Dapr\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the reader\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For developers and software architects familiar with the basics of containers and Kubernetes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eMauricio Salatino\u003c\/b\u003e is currently a Dapr OSS Contributor, a Knative Steering Committee member, and co-lead of the Knative Functions working group. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 1 (The rise of) platforms on top of Kubernetes\u003cbr\u003e 2 Cloud-native application challenges\u003cbr\u003e 3 Service pipelines: Building cloud-native applications\u003cbr\u003e 4 Environment pipelines: Deploying cloud-native applications\u003cbr\u003e 5 Multi-cloud (app) infrastructure\u003cbr\u003e 6 Let's build a platform on top of Kubernetes\u003cbr\u003e 7 Platform capabilities I: Shared application concerns\u003cbr\u003e 8 Platform capabilities II: Enabling teams to experiment\u003cbr\u003e 9 Measuring your platforms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMauricio Salatino\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is a staff engineer at VMware, where he works for the Knative project.
