Practical Site Reliability Engineering

By: Pethuru Raj Chelliah, Shreyash Naithani, Shailender Singh

Overview of this book

Site reliability engineering (SRE) is being touted as the most competent paradigm in establishing and ensuring next-generation high-quality software solutions. This book starts by introducing you to the SRE paradigm and covers the need for highly reliable IT platforms and infrastructures. As you make your way through the next set of chapters, you will learn to develop microservices using Spring Boot and make use of RESTful frameworks. You will also learn about GitHub for deployment, containerization, and Docker containers. Practical Site Reliability Engineering teaches you to set up and sustain containerized cloud environments, and also covers architectural and design patterns and reliability implementation techniques such as reactive programming, and languages such as Ballerina and Rust. In the concluding chapters, you will get well-versed with service mesh solutions such as Istio and Linkerd, and understand service resilience test practices, API gateways, and edge/fog computing. By the end of this book, you will have gained experience on working with SRE concepts and be able to deliver highly reliable apps and services.

Decoding the growing role of Kubernetes for the container era


Kubernetes is a portable and extensible open source platform for managing containerized workloads. Kubernetes automates the end-to-end container life cycle management activities. Configuration requirements are aptly declared, and a host of automation modules of the Kubernetes platform are working together in realizing the desired state. Having understood the strategic importance of Kubernetes, like cluster and orchestration platforms in effectively and efficiently running containers in cloud environments, we can see that tool ecosystem is growing fast. Containers, being the favorite runtime to host and execute microservices, are turning out to be the most tuned resource for the cloud era. For automating the container creation, running, dismantling, stopping, replacing, and replicating the contributions of container cluster and orchestration platform are growing well.

Kubernetes (k8s) eliminates many of the manual activities for...
