New Release: The Gorilla Guide to Production-Grade Kubernetes!
Kubernetes is widely recognized as the modern platform of choice for running efficient, distributed, containerized applications. But are you grappling with knowing what to do as your organization’s Kubernetes initiatives move from “science project” to “mission-critical?” As Kubernetes evolves beyond the data center to micro data centers and to the edge (see Figure 1), it is becoming more difficult to manage. Multiple deployments across heterogeneous environments compound those challenges. If successfully transitioning to production-grade Kubernetes is on the roadmap for your business, this Gorilla Guide produced in partnership with Platform9 is for you!
Inside the Guide
Gorilla Guides make learning and discovery approachable and easy, and they take the guesswork out of navigating complicated IT technologies. Written by industry experts, this resource is packed full of trusted information showing you best practices for deploying and managing Kubernetes in production, and then how to scale it up, keep it secure, best practices for Day 2 operations, and much more!

- Key insight into how to deploy Kubernetes effectively
