Effortlessly create and manage complex multi-component applications based on Docker containers Key Features Gain a clear understanding of software containers from the SecDevOps perspective Master the construction of application pieces within containers to achieve a seamless life cycle Prepare your applications to run smoothly and with ease in complex container orchestrators Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Book DescriptionDevelopers are changing their deployment artifacts from application binaries to container images, giving rise to the need to build container-based apps as part of their new development workflow. Managing an app’s life cycle is complex and requires effort—this book will show you how to efficiently develop, share, and execute applications. You’ll learn how to automate the build and delivery process using CI/CD tools with containers as container orchestrators manage the complexity of running cluster-wide applications, creating infrastructure abstraction layers, while your applications run with high availability, resilience, and persistence. As you advance, you’ll develop, test, and debug applications on your desktop and get them ready to run in production with optimal security standards, using deployment patterns and monitoring tools to help identify common issues. You’ll also review deployment patterns that’ll enable you to solve common deployment problems, providing high availability, scalability, and security to your applications. Finally, you’ll explore different solutions to monitor, log, and instrument your applications as per open-source community standards. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to manage your app’s life cycle by implementing CI/CD workflows using containers to automate the building and delivery of its components.What you will learn Find out how to build microservices-based applications using containers Deploy your processes within containers using Docker features Orchestrate multi-component applications on standalone servers Deploy applications cluster-wide in container orchestrators Solve common deployment problems such as persistency or app exposure using best practices Review your application’s health and debug it using open-source tools Discover how to orchestrate CI/CD workflows using containers Who this book is forThis book is for developers and DevOps engineers looking to learn about the implementation of containers in application development, especially DevOps engineers who deploy, monitor, and maintain container-based applications running on orchestrated platforms.

A developer's field-guide to designing scalable services using Kubernetes Key Features Develop and run your software using containers within a Kubernetes environment Get hands-on experience of using Kubernetes with DevOps concepts such as continuous integration, benchmark testing, monitoring, and so on Pragmatic example-based approach showing how to use Kubernetes in the development process Book Description Kubernetes is documented and typically approached from the perspective of someone running software that has already been built. Kubernetes may also be used to enhance the development process, enabling more consistent testing and analysis of code to help developers verify not only its correctness, but also its efficiency. This book introduces key Kubernetes concepts, coupled with examples of how to deploy and use them with a bit of Node.js and Python example code, so that you can quickly replicate and use that knowledge. You will begin by setting up Kubernetes to help you develop and package your code. We walk you through the setup and installation process before working with Kubernetes in the development environment. We then delve into concepts such as automating your build process, autonomic computing, debugging, and integration testing. This book covers all the concepts required for a developer to work with Kubernetes. By the end of this book, you will be in a position to use Kubernetes in development ecosystems. What you will learn Build your software into containers Deploy and debug software running in containers within Kubernetes Declare and add configuration through Kubernetes Define how your application fits together, using internal and external services Add feedback to your code to help Kubernetes manage your services Monitor and measure your services through integration testing and in production deployments Who this book is for If you are a full-stack or back-end software developers interested, curious, or being asked to test as well as run the code you're creating, you can leverage Kubernetes to make that process simpler and consistent regardless of where you deploy. If you're looking for developer focused examples in NodeJS and Python for how to build, test, deploy, and run your code with Kubernetes, this is perfect for you.
