Software Architecture with C# 9 and .NET 5 - Second Edition

By: Gabriel Baptista, Francesco Abbruzzese

Overview of this book

Software architecture is the practice of implementing structures and systems that streamline the software development process and improve the quality of an app. This fully revised and expanded second edition, featuring the latest features of .NET 5 and C# 9, enables you to acquire the key skills, knowledge, and best practices required to become an effective software architect. This second edition features additional explanation of the principles of Software architecture, including new chapters on Azure Service Fabric, Kubernetes, and Blazor. It also includes more discussion on security, microservices, and DevOps, including GitHub deployments for the software development cycle. You will begin by understanding how to transform user requirements into architectural needs and exploring the differences between functional and non-functional requirements. Next, you will explore how to carefully choose a cloud solution for your infrastructure, along with the factors that will help you manage your app in a cloud-based environment. Finally, you will discover software design patterns and various software approaches that will allow you to solve common problems faced during development. By the end of this book, you will be able to build and deliver highly scalable enterprise-ready apps that meet your organization’s business requirements.

Kubernetes basics

Kubernetes is an advanced, open source orchestrator that you can install locally on your private machine's cluster. At the time of writing, it is the most widespread orchestrator, so Microsoft also offers it as a better alternative to Azure Service Fabric, since it is currently the de facto standard, and can rely on a wide ecosystem of tools and applications. This section introduces basic Kubernetes concepts and entities.

A Kubernetes cluster is a cluster of virtual machines running the Kubernetes orchestrator. As for Azure Service Fabric, the virtual machines composing the cluster are called nodes. The smallest software unit we can deploy on Kubernetes is not a single application, as in the case of Azure Service Fabric, but an aggregate of containerized applications called pods. While Kubernetes supports various types of containers, the most commonly used container type is Docker, which we analyzed in Chapter 5, Applying a Microservice Architecture to Your...
