Opis

This book takes developers on a journey into the cloud with Docker and Kubernetes. It walks you through the basics of Docker containers, how they are built, run, and published, and how the Kubernetes system allows you to use containers to better manage a cloud native application. Additionally, it walks you through various issues in cloud architecture, and how to design a cloud architecture that will work with your application and your team. 

The book takes a unique approach, getting you immersed in each subject with tutorials, then building up your technical knowledge, and finally backing up and thinking about more big-picture issues. Part one introduces Docker, building and working with Docker images, and covering best practices for Docker Containers. Part two covers the practicalities of "cloud native” and managing a Kubernetes application, including a full working example. The last part covers the design of cloud and microservice architectures, including the use of enterprise message queues, multi-site configurations and the common values that such architectures follow.

This approach accelerates learning and keeps you moving forward without leaving you behind. The appendices also contain a wealth of worthwhile reference material for routine cloud application management.

What You Will Learn

• Understand Docker and containerization
• Gain insight into what Kubernetes is
• Master essential cloud architecture design principles
• Design and implement notes for building cloud architectures

Who This Book Is For

Primarily developers who are moving to the cloud and want to get a sense of the environment they are getting into, and developers who want to move into a larger role of cloud architecture.

Spis treści

Chapter ​1. Introduction - what they should expect from the book.

PART 1: Docker

Chapter 2. Docker Under the Hood - introduction to the history and technology behind Docker.  I find that really understanding Docker containers well requires a brief knowledge of their history and implementation.

Chapter 3. A Docker Interactive Tutorial - the basics of building and working with Docker images

Chapter 4. Best Practices for Docker Containers - general tips, Debian vs Alpine, etc.

PART 2: Kubernetes

Chapter 5. The Cloud Native Philosophy - a general intro to the goals behind “Cloud Native” and Kubernetes

Chapter 6. Getting Started with Kubernetes - showing how to deploy a simple system on Kubernetes with the Kubernetes dashboard

Chapter 7. Managing Kubernetes with kubectl - an introduction to the kubectl tool

Chapter 8. The Kubernetes environment - now that the user has some hands-on with Kubernetes, we introduce the components themselves

Chapter 9. Basic Kubernetes Management - how to work with YAML files

Chapter 10. A Full Kubernetes Cloud Example - full Kubernetes code for a cluster for a Message Board system

Chapter 11. Going Further in Kubernetes - a brief introduction to other parts of Kubernetes

PART 3: Cloud Architecture

Chapter 12. Cloud Architecture Introduction - why architecting matters

Chapter 13. Basic Cloud Architectures - basic architectural diagrams for the most common situations

Chapter 14. Microservice Architectures - what microservices are, why they are important, and how to build such an architecture

Chapter 15. Enterprise Message Queues - what message queues are and how they make micro service architectures more flexible and resilient

Chapter 16. Architecting Data Stores - various database (and other data store) options

Chapter 17. Multi-Site Configurations - introducing terminology and through processes behind multi-site configurations

Chapter 18. Architecture Values - a discussion of common themes for cloud architectures

Chapter 19. Conclusion

Appendices:

1. Navigating the Linux Command Shell

2. Installing Applications

3. Common kubectl commands

4. Kubernetes Storage Options

5. Kubernetes Pod Scheduling

6. Troubleshooting Kubernetes Clusters
