Hands-On Microservices with Kubernetes

By: Gigi Sayfan

Overview of this book

Kubernetes is among the most popular open source platforms for automating the deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across clusters of hosts, providing a container-centric infrastructure. Hands-On Microservices with Kubernetes starts by providing you with in-depth insights into the synergy between Kubernetes and microservices. You will learn how to use Delinkcious, which will serve as a live lab throughout the book to help you understand microservices and Kubernetes concepts in the context of a real-world application. Next, you will get up to speed with setting up a CI/CD pipeline and configuring microservices using Kubernetes ConfigMaps. As you cover later chapters, you will gain hands-on experience in securing microservices and implementing REST, gRPC APIs, and a Delinkcious data store. In addition to this, you’ll explore the Nuclio project, run a serverless task on Kubernetes, and manage and implement data-intensive tests. Toward the concluding chapters, you’ll deploy microservices on Kubernetes and learn to maintain a well-monitored system. Finally, you’ll discover the importance of service meshes and how to incorporate Istio into the Delinkcious cluster. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained the skills you need to implement microservices on Kubernetes with the help of effective tools and best practices.

Preface

Hands-On Microservices with Kubernetes is the book you have been waiting for. It will walk you though the parallel paths of developing microservices and deploying them on Kubernetes. The synergy between microservice-based architecture and Kubernetes is very powerful. This book covers all angles. It explains the concepts behind microservices and Kubernetes, discusses real-world concerns and trade-offs, takes you through the development of fully fledged microservice-based systems, shows you best practices, and provides ample recommendations.

This book covers an amazing amount of ground in great depth and with working code to illustrate. You will learn how to design a microservice-based architecture, build microservices, test the microservices you've built, and package them as Docker images. Then, you will learn how to deploy your system as a collection of Docker images to Kubernetes and manage it there.

Along the way, you will become familiar with most important trends to be aware of, such as automated continuous integration / continuous delivery (CI/CD) , gRPC-based microservices, serverless computing, and service meshes.

By the end of this book, you will have gained a lot of knowledge and hands-on experience with planning, developing, and operating large-scale cloud-native systems using microservice-based architecture deployed on Kubernetes.
