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

Monitoring your microservice logs in Kubernetes


One of the most important features that will be helpful after your microservices are deployed to a cluster is being able to monitor the logs of your application. In this recipe, you will learn how to monitor the logs of your application from the Kubernetes dashboard as well as kubectl.

Getting ready

Open up the Kubernetes dashboard if you already have your cluster running. If not, use Minikube to start the cluster and open the dashboard. Make sure there are no instances of the geolocation container running on your Kubernetes cluster. If you have any instance of geolocation running, delete the replication controllers, services, and pods.

How to do it...

  1. To be able to view the logs, we need our microservice deployed on Kubernetes first. Before that, let's get familiar with viewing the logs from the Kubernetes dashboard. Open it up. Use the friendly form and enter the following configurations to create your microservice:

    • App name: geolocation

    • Container...
