You will learn how to use Kubernetes for creation of a Pod and then a deployment. Auto-scaling is an important feature in any container, including Kubernetes. This book guides you on how to use Supergiant so as to auto-scale a Kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean.The following topics are discussed in this book: - Installing Kubernetes on Linux- Zero Downtime Deployments in Kuberentes- Creating a Kubernetes Deployment in YAML- Auto-Scaling Kubernete
