About the Book
TL;DR:
In this comprehensive guide, we will dive deep into the intricacies of microservices, high-availability strategies, CI/CD, GitOps, and observability in a Cloud Native world.We will employ a wide array of tools, including:
- Docker,
- Kubernetes,
- minikube,
- Rancher,
- Terraform,
- Operators,
- Helm,
- Prometheus,
- Istio,
- Grafana,
- OpenTelemetry,
- Jaeger,
- Loki,
- Argo CD
- and more.
These are the top 10 things you will learn in this guide:
- Understand the Cloud Native approach to building software and microservices.
- Understand Kubernetes architecture and its core components.
- Run Kubernetes locally and in the cloud.
- Use Rancher to manage containers and Kubernetes.
- Manage data persistence in Kubernetes.
- Understand the different types of services in Kubernetes and when to use each one.
- Use Operators, Helm, Terraform, and other tools to provision and manage Kubernetes clusters.
- Implement deployment strategies such as Blue/Green, Canary, and Rolling updates.
- Use Istio to implement a service mesh in Kubernetes.
- Implement Observability and GitOps in Kubernetes using Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, Loki, OpenTelemetry, and Argo CD.
About This Book:
This book will guide you on a thrilling journey, revealing the nuances and potential of Kubernetes, the most popular container orchestration platform in the world. You'll discover how Kubernetes can be leveraged to build a robust, scalable, and resilient microservices architecture."Cloud Native Microservices With Kubernetes" is a comprehensive guide that will navigate you through the intricacies of Kubernetes and help you leverage its full potential.
It is designed to cater to a wide audience, from beginners who are making their first foray into Kubernetes to experienced professionals who wish to deepen their understanding of the platform and stay updated with its most recent advances.
The chapters are structured sequentially to facilitate progressive learning. We start by exploring the different options to run Kubernetes locally and in the cloud.
We will see how to use minikube, Rancher, and Terraform to provision a Kubernetes cluster in the cloud, and then we will use a cloud provider's managed Kubernetes service to provision a cluster.
We will also explore the Cloud Native approach to software development and the basic components of Kubernetes before moving on to more complex topics such as resource management, autoscaling, and deploying various types of microservices.
In this comprehensive guide, we will dive deep into the intricacies of microservices, high-availability strategies, CI/CD, and observability in a Cloud Native world.
We will employ a wide array of tools, including Docker, Kubernetes, minikube, Rancher, Terraform, Operators, Helm, Prometheus, Istio, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Loki, and more.
Our exploration will include GitOps, with a focus on creating an efficient GitOps workflow using Argo CD. We will adeptly handle CI/CD (continuous delivery and deployment) strategies such as Blue/Green, Canary deployments, and Rolling updates.
In addition, we will cover how to expertly manage data in Kubernetes using persistent volumes and stateful sets. We will navigate the creation of various types of services in Kubernetes and how to expose them to the outside world using Ingress and Service Mesh.
The book focuses on achieving high availability, scalability, and efficient deployment, monitoring, CI/CD, and everything else you need to build your next microservices architecture. All of this can be done by leveraging the power of Kubernetes and its ecosystem.
Each chapter of this guide includes examples and practical exercises designed to offer a hands-on experience. By working through these examples, you'll gain a practical understanding of Kubernetes concepts and their application in real-world scenarios.
This book is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to build, manage, scale, deploy, and monitor your microservices on Kubernetes.
By the end of this book, my goal is for Kubernetes to no longer seem like a daunting labyrinth. Instead, it will be a tool you are proficient in and can use to write your own success story.
Enjoy the journey!
