By: Ron Veen, David Vlijmincx

Overview of this book

Cloud-Native Development and Migration to Jakarta EE will help you unlock the secrets of Jakarta EE's evolution as you explore the migration and modernization of your applications. You’ll discover how to make your code compatible with the latest Jakarta EE version and how to leverage its modern features effectively. First, you’ll navigate the realm of cloud-native development as you demystify containers and get introduced to the Eclipse MicroProfile, a powerful tool in your toolkit. Next, you’ll take the bold step of transitioning your applications from local hardware to the limitless possibilities of the cloud. By following the author’s expert guidance to deploy your Jakarta EE applications on Microsoft Azure, you’ll gain hands-on experience in managing cloud resources. In the final leg of your journey, you’ll explore the world of serverless architecture. You’ll learn to design and run services that are truly serverless, harnessing the potential of the event-driven paradigm for scalability and cost-efficiency. By the end of this book, you’ll have mastered Jakarta EE and become a proficient cloud-native developer.

Technical requirements

This chapter does not have any technical requirements. If you would like to play around with Kubernetes, then here are some projects you could give a try. Minikube is a project that installs a one-node cluster on your local machine. Another project is Kubernetes in Docker (KinD), which starts a set of containers that will start Kubernetes. While these options can give you a good impression of what Kubernetes is and how it works, if you want to do some serious investigations, you might want to consider a cloud provider option. There are many offerings, such as AKS from Azure, GKE from Google, and EKS from Amazon. An interesting alternative is K3S from Civo, which uses cheap hardware to run Kubernetes.

We will perform a simple deployment to Kubernetes via a locally installed Minikube at the end of this chapter.

By the end of this chapter, you should have a good understanding of the position of Kubernetes within a cloud-native landscape. You will also have...
