Summary and Quiz on Applications in Kubernetes

Summary

In this section, we learned how to use Go to deploy and manipulate resources in Kubernetes. We built upon that knowledge to extend Kubernetes with our custom Pet resources and learned how to continuously reconcile the desired state of our pets with the state of the pet store. We learned that we can extend Kubernetes to represent any external resources and that it provides a robust platform to describe nearly any domain.

You should be able to take what you learned in this section and apply it to automate interactions with Kubernetes resources and extend Kubernetes to natively expose your own resources through the Kubernetes API. You are now empowered with the knowledge to solve those problems. You might be able to think of some services and resources at your company that you would like to be able to manage by simply applying some YAML to your Kubernetes cluster. You are now empowered with the knowledge to solve those problems.
