DevOps with Kubernetes

DevOps with Containers

We're now familiar with a wide variety of DevOps tools that can help us to automate tasks and manage configuration throughout the delivery journey of an application. Challenges still lie ahead, however, as applications have now become more diverse than ever. In this chapter, we'll add another skill to our tool belt: the container. In particular, we'll talk about the Docker container. In doing this, we'll seek to understand the following:

  • Key concepts related to containers
  • Running Docker applications
  • Building Docker applications with Dockerfile
  • Orchestrating multiple containers with Docker compose

Understanding containers

One of the key features of containers is isolation. In this section, we'll establish a proper understanding of this powerful tool by looking at how a container achieves isolation and why this matters in the software development life cycle.

Resource isolation

When an application launches, it consumes CPU time, occupies memory space, links to its dependent libraries, writes to the disk, transmits packets, and may access other devices as well. Everything it uses up is a kind of resource, which is shared by all the programs on the same host. To increase the efficiency of resource utilization, we may try to put as many applications as possible on a single machine. However, the complexity involved in...

The life cycle of a container

Using containers isn't as intuitive as most of the tools that we're used to working with, so we'll need to change the way we work. In this section, we'll go through how to use Docker so that we're able to benefit from containers.

The basics of Docker

When docker run alpine ls is executed, Docker carries out the following steps behind the scenes:

  1. It finds the alpine image locally. If this is not found, Docker will try to locate and pull it from the public Docker registry to the local image storage.
  2. It extracts the image and creates a container accordingly.
  3. It executes the entry point defined in the image with commands, which are the arguments after the image name. In this...

Working with a Dockerfile

When assembling an image, whether using docker commit or export, optimizing the outcome in a managed way is a challenge, let alone integrating it with a CI/CD pipeline. A Dockerfile represents the building task in the form of code, which significantly reduces the difficulty of building tasks for us. In this section, we'll describe how to map Docker commands into a Dockerfile and take a step towards optimizing it.

Writing your first Dockerfile

A Dockerfile consists of a series of text instructions to guide the Docker daemon to form an image, and a Dockerfile must start with the FROM directive. For example, we may have an image built from the following one-liner:

docker commit $(              ...

Multi-container orchestration

As we pack more and more applications into isolated boxes, we'll soon realize that we need a tool that is able to help us tackle many containers simultaneously. In this section, we'll move a step up from spinning up just one single container to orchestrating multiple containers in a band.

Piling up containers

Modern systems are usually built as stacks made up of multiple components that are distributed over networks, such as application servers, caches, databases, and message queues. Each individual component is also a self-contained system with many sub-components. What's more, the rising trend of microservices introduces additional degrees of complexity into these entangled relationships...

Summary

Starting from the very primitive elements of Linux containers and Docker tool stacks, we went through every aspect of containerizing an application, including packing and running a Docker container, writing a Dockerfile for code-based immutable deployment, and manipulating multiple containers with Docker compose. However, the abilities we gained in this chapter only allow us to run and connect containers within the same host, which limits our ability to build larger applications.

In Chapter 3, Getting Started with Kubernetes, we'll meet Kubernetes, unleashing the power of containers beyond the limits of scale.

Key benefits

  • Learn about DevOps, containers, and Kubernetes all within one handy book
  • A practical guide to container management and orchestration
  • Learn how to monitor, log, and troubleshoot your Kubernetes applications

Description

Kubernetes has been widely adopted across public clouds and on-premise data centers. As we're living in an era of microservices, knowing how to use and manage Kubernetes is an essential skill for everyone in the IT industry. This book is a guide to everything you need to know about Kubernetes—from simply deploying a container to administrating Kubernetes clusters wisely. You'll learn about DevOps fundamentals, as well as deploying a monolithic application as microservices and using Kubernetes to orchestrate them. You will then gain an insight into the Kubernetes network, extensions, authentication and authorization. With the DevOps spirit in mind, you'll learn how to allocate resources to your application and prepare to scale them efficiently. Knowing the status and activity of the application and clusters is crucial, so we’ll learn about monitoring and logging in Kubernetes. Having an improved ability to observe your services means that you will be able to build a continuous delivery pipeline with confidence. At the end of the book, you'll learn how to run managed Kubernetes services on three top cloud providers: Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure.

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone who wants to learn containerization and clustering in a practical way using Kubernetes. No prerequisite skills are required, however, essential DevOps skill and public/private Cloud knowledge will accelerate the reading speed. If you're advanced, you can get a deeper understanding of all the tools and technique described in the book.

What you will learn

  • Learn fundamental and advanced DevOps skills and tools
  • Get a comprehensive understanding of containers
  • Dockerize an application
  • Administrate and manage Kubernetes cluster
  • Extend the cluster functionality with custom resources
  • Understand Kubernetes network and service mesh
  • Implement Kubernetes logging and monitoring
  • Manage Kubernetes services in Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform,and Microsoft Azure

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
