Deploying a Dapr application to Kubernetes

The service code for our Dapr application is now complete. However, we must package it so that it can be deployed to Kubernetes appropriately. Our first objective is to publish these services as Docker containers.

The sample that’s available for this chapter, C:\Repos\dapr-samples\chapter09, is aligned with the status we reached at the end of Chapter 8, Using Actors. To recap, the following Dapr applications comprise our overall solution:

• sample.microservice.order
• sample.microservice.reservation.service
• sample.microservice.reservationactor.service
• sample.microservice.customization
• sample.microservice.shipping

The preceding list represents the Dapr applications, each with its corresponding ASP.NET project, that we need to build as Docker images to deploy to Kubernetes later.

While this chapter also shows how to build our Dapr applications into Docker images and push those images into a private container...
