Microservices Deployment Cookbook

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 containers on YARN


In this recipe, you will learn how YARN can be used as a cluster to deploy applications. The framework used to deploy applications to YARN is called Apache Slider. At the time of writing this, Apache Slider is still in Apache's Incubator status. In order to learn Apache Slider, you will need a YARN cluster. For those of you who are not familiar with YARN, it stands for Yet Another Resource Navigator, and it is the cluster on which most of your Hadoop ecosystem operates. The goal of the Slider project is to provide the ability to run applications on the YARN cluster, scale them, and monitor them. In this recipe, I will only be able give you an overview of Slider as it is still nascent.

Getting ready

The first thing that you need is a YARN cluster. There are several ways to orchestrate a YARN cluster. You could orchestrate your own vanilla Hadoop cluster, or you could use platforms such as Hortonworks or Cloudera to make it much more easier. Using platforms such...
