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 third edition, featuring the latest features of .NET 6 and C# 10, enables you to acquire the key skills, knowledge, and best practices required to become an effective software architect. Software Architecture with C# 10 and .NET 6, Third Edition features new chapters that describe the importance of the software architect, microservices with ASP.NET Core, and analyzing the architectural aspects of the front-end in the applications, including the new approach of .NET MAUI. It also includes a new chapter focused on providing a short introduction to artificial intelligence and machine learning using ML.NET, and updated chapters on Azure Kubernetes Service, EF Core, and Blazor. 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 choose a cloud solution for your infrastructure, taking into account the factors that will help you manage a cloud-based app successfully. Finally, you will analyze and implement software design patterns that will allow you to solve common development problems. By the end of this book, you will be able to build and deliver highly scalable enterprise-ready apps that meet your 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, and a de facto standard for cluster orchestration that can be used with 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. The virtual machines composing the cluster are called nodes. The smallest software unit we can deploy on Kubernetes is not a single application, 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 Enterprise Application, so we will confine our discussion to Docker.

Pods are important because applications belonging to the...
