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 9. Service Resiliency

There is a seamless and spontaneous convergence between containers and microservices. This distinctive linkage brings forth a number of strategic advantages for worldwide businesses in accomplishing more with less. Containers are being positioned as the most appropriate packaging and runtime mechanism for microservices and their redundant instances. Subsequently, microservices are meticulously containerized, tested, curated, and stocked in publicly available container image repositories. Now, with the widespread acceptance of Kubernetes as the leading container cluster and orchestration platform, cloud environments comprising millions of containers (hosting microservices) are being speedily set up and sustained. That is, containers are being insightfully managed by Kubernetes to be hugely constructive and contributive for business automation and acceleration. Kubernetes has laid down a stimulating foundation for creating multi-container composite applications...
