DevOps for Databases

By: David Jambor

Overview of this book

In today's rapidly evolving world of DevOps, traditional silos are a thing of the past. Database administrators are no longer the only experts; site reliability engineers (SREs) and DevOps engineers are database experts as well. This blurring of the lines has led to increased responsibilities, making members of high-performing DevOps teams responsible for end-to-end ownership. This book helps you master DevOps for databases, making it a must-have resource for achieving success in the ever-changing world of DevOps. You’ll begin by exploring real-world examples of DevOps implementation and its significance in modern data-persistent technologies, before progressing into the various types of database technologies and recognizing their strengths, weaknesses, and commonalities. As you advance, the chapters will teach you about design, implementation, testing, and operations using practical examples, as well as common design patterns, combining them with tooling, technology, and strategies for different types of data-persistent technologies. You’ll also learn how to create complex end-to-end implementation, deployment, and cloud infrastructure strategies defined as code. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to design, build, and operate complex systems efficiently.

Operators in Kubernetes

In the ever-evolving world of containerization and cloud-native technologies, Kubernetes stands out as a pivotal tool for managing and orchestrating containerized applications. Beyond its fundamental capabilities, the realm of Kubernetes extends into specialized areas, one of which is the concept of operators. Operators are designed to automate, simplify, and enhance the way applications and services run within a Kubernetes environment. Delving into this section, you will gain insights into the basic principles of Kubernetes and containerization, the intricate functionalities of operators, the broader operator ecosystem, and their invaluable benefits and use cases in real-world Kubernetes deployments.

Overview of Kubernetes and containerization

Before diving into operators, let’s first understand the fundamentals of Kubernetes and containerization. Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling...
