Mastering Spring Cloud

By: Piotr Mińkowski

Overview of this book

Developing, deploying, and operating cloud applications should be as easy as local applications. This should be the governing principle behind any cloud platform, library, or tool. Spring Cloud–an open-source library–makes it easy to develop JVM applications for the cloud. In this book, you will be introduced to Spring Cloud and will master its features from the application developer's point of view. This book begins by introducing you to microservices for Spring and the available feature set in Spring Cloud. You will learn to configure the Spring Cloud server and run the Eureka server to enable service registration and discovery. Then you will learn about techniques related to load balancing and circuit breaking and utilize all features of the Feign client. The book now delves into advanced topics where you will learn to implement distributed tracing solutions for Spring Cloud and build message-driven microservice architectures. Before running an application on Docker container s, you will master testing and securing techniques with Spring Cloud.

Installing Docker


Docker installation instructions for Linux are specific to each distribution (https://docs.docker.com/install/#supported-platforms). However, sometimes you have to run a Docker daemon after installation, which you can do by calling the following command:

dockerd --host=unix:///var/run/docker.sock --host=tcp://0.0.0.0:2375

In this section, we will focus on instructions for the Windows platform. Generally, you have two available options when installing Docker Community Edition (CE) on Windows or Mac. The fastest and easiest way is by using Docker for Windows, which is available at https://www.docker.com/docker-windows. This is a native Windows application that provides an easy-to-use development environment for building, shipping, and running containerized applications. This is definitely the best option to utilize, because it uses Windows-native Hyper-V virtualization and networking. There is, however, one disadvantage—it is available only for Microsoft Windows 10 Professional...
