Overview of this book

This Learning Path helps you understand microservices architecture and leverage various services of Microsoft Azure Service Fabric to build, deploy, and maintain highly scalable enterprise-grade applications. You will learn to select an appropriate Azure backend structure for your solutions and work with its toolkit and managed apps to share your solutions with its service catalog. As you progress through the Learning Path, you will study Azure Cloud Services, Azure-managed Kubernetes, and Azure Container Services deployment techniques. To apply all that you’ve understood, you will build an end-to-end Azure system in scalable, decoupled tiers for an industrial bakery with three business domains. Toward the end of this Learning Path, you will build another scalable architecture using Azure Service Bus topics to send orders between decoupled business domains with scalable worker roles processing these orders. By the end of this Learning Path, you will be comfortable in using development, deployment, and maintenance processes to build robust cloud solutions on Azure. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Learn Microsoft Azure by Mohamed Wali • Implementing Azure Solutions - Second Edition by Florian Klaffenbach, Oliver Michalski, Markus Klein • Microservices with Azure by Namit Tanasseri and Rahul Rai

Cluster Orchestrator


Problem

Deploying a highly scalable and available set of Microservices on commodity hardware introduces the requirement having an efficient management system. Managing communication between services, monitoring health, maintaining a service catalog, managing application lifecycle, load balancing, scaling instances, data replication, handling failover, managing rolling updates, and so on are few challenges associated with operating enterprise scale Microservices.

It is nearly impossible to efficiently perform these tasks manually. The following diagram illustrates how complex manually managing such a system can become:

Cluster orchestrator (Problem)

Solution

A highly available, cluster orchestration system can be employed to manage Microservice deployments across heterogeneous environments. Cluster orchestrator will own the responsibility of ensuring the availability of Microservices with minimal human intervention. The system will consist of two components:

  • Cluster Orchestration...
