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.

Swagger docs

The Kubernetes api-server provides the list of available API commands by utilizing the OpenAPI specification. The OpenAPI Specification defines a standard, language-agnostic interface to REST APIs that allows both humans and computers to discover and understand the capabilities of the service without access to source code, documentation, or through network traffic inspection. It's very convenient to browse the API commands catalogue using the SwaggerUI tool that comes with Kubernetes api-server. You can also execute the HTTP commands using SwaggerUI.

Note that the SwaggerUI is not enabled by default if you are running the local cluster using Minikube. You will need to enable it during the cluster startup, using the following command:

$ minikube start --extra-config=apiserver.Features.EnableSwaggerUI=true

Having the api-server proxy still running using port 8080...
