Java and Kubernetes: Deploying and Orchestrating Microservices

Modern Java development is unthinkable without cloud technologies and containerization. The book "Java and Kubernetes" is a practical guide that will take you through all stages of integrating Java applications with a powerful container orchestration platform.

The author, an experienced Java developer and DevOps engineer, explains step by step how to turn an ordinary Java application into a scalable microservice ready for the cloud. The book is structured from simple to complex: you will start with the basics of Docker and containerization, and finish with setting up production-grade Kubernetes clusters.

What you will learn from this book:

• How to package a Java application (Spring Boot, Quarkus, Micronaut) into a Docker image
• Basics of Kubernetes architecture: Pods, Services, Deployments, ConfigMaps, and Secrets
• Creating and configuring a Kubernetes cluster for Java microservices
• Managing configuration and environment variables for Java applications
• Monitoring, logging, and tracing of distributed systems
• Security: access control, secrets, and network policies
• CI/CD pipelines for automated building and deploying Java projects
• Scaling, load balancing, and self-healing of applications

Who this book is for:

• Java developers looking to master modern cloud technologies
• DevOps engineers working with Java stacks
• Architects designing microservice systems
• Students and professionals transitioning from monoliths to cloud architecture

Each chapter contains real Java code examples, ready-to-use YAML manifests, and practical exercises. You will learn not just to run applications in Kubernetes, but to design fault-tolerant, scalable, and easily maintainable systems.

The book is ideal both for self-study and for corporate training of teams transitioning to cloud infrastructure. After reading, you will be able to confidently design and deploy Java microservices of any complexity.
