By: René Enríquez, Alberto Salazar

Overview of this book

Spring 5 and its ecosystem can be used to build robust architectures effectively. Software architecture is the underlying piece that helps us accomplish our business goals whilst supporting the features that a product demands. This book explains in detail how to choose the right architecture and apply best practices during your software development cycle to avoid technical debt and support every business requirement. Choosing the right architecture model to support your business requirements is one of the key decisions you need to take when a new product is being created from scratch or is being refactored to support new business demands. This book gives you insights into the most common architectural models and guides you when and where they can be used. During this journey, you’ll see cutting-edge technologies surrounding the Spring products, and understand how to use agile techniques such as DevOps and continuous delivery to take your software to production effectively. By the end of this book, you’ll not only know the ins and outs of Spring, but also be able to make critical design decisions that surpass your clients’ expectations.

Chapter 10. Containerizing Your Applications

Containers are becoming one of the key factors of software development, changing the way that developers are writing and deploying IT systems. These are mainly used to solve problems related to setup environments.

Working with containers can be overwhelming when you have to manage multiple containers and multi-instance environments. However, some really cool tools have been released that are designed to accomplish these container orchestration tasks. We are going to look at these tools throughout this chapter, along with the following topics:

  • Containers:
    • Basic concepts
    • Basic commands
    • Building your own images
  • Containerizing Applications: Docker Gradle plugin
  • Registries: Publishing images
  • Provisioning multiple-container environments: Docker Compose
  • Container orchestration with Kubernetes:
    • Pods
    • Labels
    • Replication controllers
    • Services
