About the Book
Master Kubernetes configuration with clear YAML, proven patterns, and production ready workflows.
Struggling to keep Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and Kustomize overlays consistent across dev, staging, and production clusters can drain time and confidence. Small changes in YAML often have big effects on Pods, Services, security, and traffic, and it is not always obvious why something broke.
YAML FOR KUBERNETES: THE COMPLETE CONFIGURATION GUIDE walks you through real Kubernetes configuration from first manifest to full GitOps driven, multi tenant environments. You will see how to express intent clearly in YAML, validate and secure it, and operate it safely in real clusters.
Understand how Kubernetes reads and applies YAML, including apiVersion, kind, metadata, spec, and status.
Write reliable Pod specs, Deployments, ReplicaSets, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, Jobs, and CronJobs for real applications.
Configure Services, Ingress, headless Services, DNS, and NetworkPolicies for clear traffic flow and practical isolation.
Manage ConfigMaps, Secrets, volumes, PersistentVolumeClaims, and StorageClasses for twelve factor style applications.
Set resource requests and limits, probes, affinity, tolerations, topology spread constraints, PodDisruptionBudgets, and rollout strategies that behave well under load.
Apply validation and policy with kubeconform, kubeval, linters, Pod Security Standards, securityContext fields, Kyverno, and Gatekeeper.
Build and operate Helm charts, from Chart.yaml and values.yaml through templating, testing, versioning, upgrades, and rollbacks.
Use Kustomize bases, overlays, patches, transformers, and generators to keep configuration template free but flexible.
Work with CustomResourceDefinitions and custom resources safely, including schemas, versioning, conversion, and common CRDs like Gateway API and Argo CD.
Design Git repositories, GitOps flows with Argo CD Applications and ApplicationSets, Flux Kustomizations and HelmReleases, and multi tenant setups with namespaces, RBAC, and policy boundaries.
Troubleshoot failed deployments, misconfigurations, and anti patterns using practical production checklists and refactoring examples.
This is a code heavy guide with complete YAML manifests, kubectl commands, Helm values, Kustomize kustomization.yaml files, and real CRD examples so you can adapt working configuration directly into your own clusters.
