Microservices Deployment Cookbook

By: Vikram Murugesan

Overview of this book

This book will help any team or organization understand, deploy, and manage microservices at scale. It is driven by a sample application, helping you gradually build a complete microservice-based ecosystem. Rather than just focusing on writing a microservice, this book addresses various other microservice-related solutions: deployments, clustering, load balancing, logging, streaming, and monitoring. The initial chapters offer insights into how web and enterprise apps can be migrated to scalable microservices. Moving on, you’ll see how to Dockerize your application so that it is ready to be shipped and deployed. We will look at how to deploy microservices on Mesos and Marathon and will also deploy microservices on Kubernetes. Next, you will implement service discovery and load balancing for your microservices. We’ll also show you how to build asynchronous streaming systems using Kafka Streams and Apache Spark. Finally, we wind up by aggregating your logs in Kafka, creating your own metrics, and monitoring the metrics for the microservice.

Preface

Deploying your microservice on Kubernetes


So far in this chapter, we have successfully orchestrated a single node Kubernetes cluster using Docker, and we have familiarized ourselves with the Kubernetes dashboard. In this recipe, we will learn how to deploy our geolocation microservice on our Kubernetes cluster.

Getting ready

Deploying a microservice in Kubernetes can be done in several ways. We can use kubectl to submit our deployment to the Kubernetes cluster. We can also use the dashboard to create a deployment via the UI. In the previous recipe, we used kubectl to create a deployment for the echoserver container. In this recipe, let's use the dashboard to deploy the geolocation microservice in Kubernetes.

Go ahead and open up the Kubernetes dashboard using the minikube command:

minikube dashboard

How to do it...

  1. To create a new deployment, click on the Create button at the top right of the dashboard. You should see a screen similar to Marathon's New Application modal. Most of the properties...
