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.

Container orchestration and management


Container orchestration is a technology that is significantly changing the horizon of companies. We are seeing more and more companies adapting these technologies on a daily basis. Red Hat and Google are the major players that are directly providing these technologies and helping other organizations to develop similar products. Currently, the most mature products include Kubernetes and OpenShift, and many organizations are using these at a production scale. We are going to cover most of the available solutions on the market and will try to give you an insight into their architecture.

A recent survey conducted by CNCF shows some useful statistics about how companies are managing containers. We can clearly see that Kubernetes is leading in terms of container management:
