Summary
In this chapter, we have covered a very important topic—service deployments. You have learned about the basics of the service deployment process, as well as the necessary steps for preparing our microservices for deployment. Then, we introduced Kubernetes, a popular deployment and orchestration platform that is now provided by many companies and cloud providers. We have illustrated how to set up a local Kubernetes cluster and deploy our microservices to it, running multiple instances of each service to illustrate how easy is to run any arbitrary number of instances within the Kubernetes platform.
The knowledge you gained should help you to set up more complex deployment processes, as well as to work with the services that are already deployed via Kubernetes.
This chapter summarizes our material on service deployments. In the next chapter, we are going to describe another important topic: unit and integration.
