Kubernetes Handbook is a Chinese-language open-source ebook about Kubernetes, the container orchestration system originally developed at Google. Kubernetes manages groups of containers across multiple machines, handling tasks like deploying applications, keeping them running, scaling them up or down based on load, and routing network traffic to the right places. The system grew out of Google internal infrastructure tooling called Borg. The handbook was written to fill a gap the author identified: Chinese-language Kubernetes material was plentiful but scattered and hard to keep current as the project evolved rapidly. The goal is a systematic reference guide that developers and operations engineers can consult while learning or working with Kubernetes. Readers can follow along online at kubernetes.feisky.xyz, where the content is published as a browsable GitBook site. The content can also be searched through a companion WeChat public account. The ebook covers the main Kubernetes capabilities: container-based deployment and rolling updates, load balancing and service discovery, scheduling containers across machines and geographic regions, autoscaling, stateful and stateless services, storage volume support, and the plugin system that allows the platform to be extended. The book tracks community updates and includes a changelog documenting what has changed between versions. The documentation targets Kubernetes v1.6 and later. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share-Alike 4.0 license, meaning it can be freely read and shared but not sold or incorporated into commercial products without permission. Community contributions are welcome. The README is in Chinese and is brief, the full content lives in the linked GitBook site rather than in the repository files.
