Container Infrastructure and Operations
"Container Infrastructure and Operations" "Container Infrastructure and Operations" is a comprehensive guide that delves deep into the rapidly evolving world of containerized computing. This authoritative resource begins with the fundamentals—unpacking Linux kernel primitives and demystifying core components such as container runtimes, image formats, networking, and lifecycle management. Readers gain a holistic understanding of how containers are isolated, managed, and secured, with practical coverage of topics from storage optimization to advanced security practices and compliance requirements. Building on these essentials, the book explores the orchestration layer in depth, focusing on Kubernetes architecture, declarative workload models, and multi-cluster management strategies. Alternative orchestrators are thoroughly compared, and advanced networking topics—including service discovery, mesh architectures, and observability—are explained with real-world applicability. Equally, it addresses critical operational challenges around persistent storage, stateful workloads, secrets management, CI/CD automation, and incident response, equipping professionals with actionable best practices at every stage of the container lifecycle. Designed for engineers, architects, and DevOps teams, this book is not only a technical manual but also a strategic reference for achieving scalability, high availability, disaster recovery, and sustainable operations. From innovative concepts such as serverless interoperability, confidential computing, and AI-driven resource management to environmental considerations and evolving cloud-native standards, "Container Infrastructure and Operations" distills the complexities of modern infrastructure into clear, practical guidance—making it an indispensable resource for those building the next generation of resilient, efficient, and secure systems.
Cloud Native DevOps with Kubernetes
Kubernetes is the operating system of the cloud native world, providing a reliable and scalable platform for running containerized workloads. In this friendly, pragmatic book, cloud experts John Arundel and Justin Domingus show you what Kubernetes can do—and what you can do with it. You’ll learn all about the Kubernetes ecosystem, and use battle-tested solutions to everyday problems. You’ll build, step by step, an example cloud native application and its supporting infrastructure, along with a development environment and continuous deployment pipeline that you can use for your own applications. Understand containers and Kubernetes from first principles; no experience necessary Run your own clusters or choose a managed Kubernetes service from Amazon, Google, and others Use Kubernetes to manage resource usage and the container lifecycle Optimize clusters for cost, performance, resilience, capacity, and scalability Learn the best tools for developing, testing, and deploying your applications Apply the latest industry practices for security, observability, and monitoring Adopt DevOps principles to help make your development teams lean, fast, and effective
Handbook of Terminal Planning
Author: Jürgen W. Böse
language: en
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Release Date: 2011-02-26
Container Terminals (CT) operate as central nodes in worldwide hub-and-spoke networks and link ocean-going vessels with smaller feeder vessels as well as with inbound and outbound hinterland transportation systems using road, rail, or inland waterways. The volume of transcontinental container flows has gained appreciably over the last five decades -- throughput figures of CT reached new records, frequently with double-digit annual growth rates. Stimulated by throughput requirements and stronger competition between terminals settled in the same region or serving a similar hinterland, respectively, cost efficiency and throughput capabilities become more and more important. Nowadays, both terminal capacity and costs have to be regarded as key indicators for CT competitiveness. In respect of this steady growth, this handbook focuses on planning activities being aimed at “order of magnitude improvements” in terminal performance and economic viability. On the one hand the book is intended to provide readership with technological and organizational CT basics for strategic planning. On the other hand this book offers methodical assistance for fundamental dimensioning of CT in terms of 'technique', 'organization' or 'man'. The former primarily considers comprehensive information about container handling technologies representing the state of the art for present terminal operations, while the latter refers to methodological support comprising in particular quantitative solutions and modeling techniques for strategic terminal decisions as well as straightforward design guidelines. The handbook includes an introductory contribution which gives an overview of strategic planning problems at CT and introduces the contributions of the volume with regard to their relationship in this field. Moreover, each paper contains a section or paragraph that describes the impact of findings investigated by the author(s) for problem-solving in long-term planning of CT (as anapplication domain). The handbook intends to provide solutions and insights that are valuable for both practitioners in industry who need effective planning approaches to overcome problems and weaknesses in terminal design/development and researchers who would like to inform themselves about the state of the art in methodology of strategic terminal planning or be inspired by new ideas. That is to say, the handbook is addressed to terminal planners in practice as well as to students of maritime courses of study and (application oriented) researchers in the maritime field.
