C# (.NET) and Kubernetes: Microservice Development and Orchestration

Modern software development increasingly requires the use of containers and orchestration systems. If you write in C# (.NET) and want to master Kubernetes, this book will be your reliable guide to the world of cloud technologies and microservice architecture.

What is this book about?

The book "C# (.NET) and Kubernetes" is a practical guide that covers the full lifecycle of a .NET application in a modern infrastructure. You will start with the basics of containerization and gradually move on to complex scenarios of orchestration, monitoring, and scaling.

The book covers in detail:

• Docker basics for .NET developers — creating efficient images, optimizing layers, working with multi-stage builds.
• Microservice architecture in C# — design, separation of concerns, inter-service communication.
• Deployment in Kubernetes — creating Pod, Deployment, Service, Ingress, ConfigMap, and Secrets.
• State management — working with databases, caching, sessions in a distributed environment.
• Monitoring and logging — integration with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, OpenTelemetry.
• CI/CD for .NET and Kubernetes — setting up pipelines with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or GitLab CI.
• Security — secret management, RBAC, network security policies.

Who is this book for?

The book is intended for:

• C# developers who want to learn containerization and orchestration.
• DevOps engineers working with .NET stacks who want to deepen their knowledge of platform specifics.
• Architects designing cloud solutions based on .NET.
• Team Leads implementing microservice architecture in their projects.

What will you learn?

After reading the book, you will be able to:

• Create lightweight Docker images for ASP.NET Core applications.
• Design and deploy fault-tolerant microservices in Kubernetes.
• Configure automatic scaling (HPA) and cluster self-healing.
• Implement seamless deployment (Rolling Update, Blue/Green, Canary).
• Integrate .NET applications with a Service Mesh.
• Optimize performance and cost of cloud infrastructure.

The book contains many ready-made code examples, configuration files, and checklists that can be immediately applied in real projects. All examples are relevant for .NET 6/7/8 and the latest versions of Kubernetes.
