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.

Chapter 5. Container Cluster and Orchestration Platforms

Reliable applications and environments can be created through emerging concepts such as containerization, microservices architecture (MSA), container management, and clustering. Container clustering and orchestration is a highly demanded skill nowadays, as more and more organizations are moving toward microservices to make their services better. At the moment, we have mature products that fulfil the demands of customers, and solutions exist in both the enterprise domain and the open source domain. The latter category is dominating in this respect, with products such as Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift.

This chapter intends to provide a detailed explanation of the preceding technologies to ensure the goals of Site Reliability Engineering. The prime topics to be covered in this chapter include the following:

  • Resilient microservices
  • Application and volume containers
  • Clustering and managing containers
  • Container orchestration and management...
