Overview of this book

Imagine creating and testing Java EE applications on Apache Tomcat Server or Wildfly Application server in minutes along with deploying and managing Java applications swiftly. Sounds too good to be true? But you have a reason to cheer as such scenarios are only possible by leveraging Docker and Kubernetes. This book will start by introducing Docker and delve deep into its networking and persistent storage concepts. You will then proceed to learn how to refactor monolith application into separate services by building an application and then packaging it into Docker containers. Next, you will create an image containing Java Enterprise Application and later run it using Docker. Moving on, the book will focus on Kubernetes and its features and you will learn to deploy a Java application to Kubernetes using Maven and monitor a Java application in production. By the end of the book, you will get hands-on with some more advanced topics to further extend your knowledge about Docker and Kubernetes.

Summary

As you can see, the Minikube is an easy way to try out Kubernetes and use it for local development. Running the local cluster is not as scary as it may have seemed at the beginning. Best of all, the local minikube cluster is a valid Kubernetes cluster. If you get to know Kubernetes by playing with it locally, you will be able to deploy your applications in the real cloud without any issues. Let's summarize the steps that we need to perform to make our Java application run on the Kubernetes cluster.

First, we need to write some code for our microservice. This can be based on whatever you want, it can be a microservice running on Tomcat, JBoss, or Spring Bootstrap. It doesn't matter, you just choose the technology you want your software to run with:

  • Next, put the code into Docker image. You can do it by hand by creating a Dockerfile or you can use Docker Maven...
