This book at hand is an appropriate addition to the field of fractional calculus applied to control systems. If an engineer or a researcher wishes to delve into fractional-order systems, then this book has many collections of such systems to work upon, and this book also tells the reader about how one can convert an integer-order system into an appropriate fractional-order one through an efficient and simple algorithm. If the reader further wants to explore the controller design for the fractional-order systems, then for them, this book provides a variety of controller design strategies. The use of fractional-order derivatives and integrals in control theory leads to better results than integer-order approaches and hence provides solid motivation for further development of control theory. Fractional-order models are more useful than the integer-order models when accuracy is of paramount importance. Real-time experimental validation of controller design strategies for the fractional-order plants is available. This book is beneficial to the academic institutes for postgraduate and advanced research-level that need a specific textbook on fractional control and its applications in srobotic manipulators. The book is also a valuable teaching and learning resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Explore the world of Kubernetes and review the concepts needed to develop, deploy, and manage applications on this container platform. This step-by-step development guide is designed for those application development and support team applicants preparing for a Kubernetes interview. Concepts in the book are presented in Q&A format, framing questions exactly the way they are asked in an interview.  You’ll start by understanding how application development and deployment have evolved over the decades leading to containerization. You’ll then dive into the Kubernetes architecture and how all its components work together to form a cluster, what the important objects are, and how to exploit them to their full potential. You’ll also review Kubernetes deployment strategies and concepts related to rollout and rollback.  Moving on, you’ll look at two very important aspects of any computing ecosystem: networking and storage, see how to access control mechanisms in Kubernetes, and manage a Kubernetes cluster with the help of health checks, probes, and resource limits. Finally, the book addresses fundamental concepts related to Docker and discusses some Kubernetes and Docker best practices, such as the kubectl command line tool, and managing a Kubernetes cluster with the help of health checks, probes, and resource limits. What You'll Learn Study advanced Kubernetes objects and workload resources object Access control mechanisms in Kubernetes Filter, select, and tag use labels, label selectors, and annotations to filter, select, and tag Review the Kubernetes networking and storage system Examine all the important commands needed to work on Kubernetes Who This Book Is For Application developers and technical managers—both on the development and support sides, beginner and intermediate Kubernetes practitioners and aspirants, and those preparing for Kubernetes interviews.
