Implementing Architecture Patterns

Kubernetes is the most popular container orchestrator in production. This platform provides different resources that allow us to deploy our applications with high resilience and with their components distributed cluster-wide while the platform itself runs with high availability. In this chapter, we will learn how these resources can provide different application architecture patterns, along with use cases and best practices to implement them.
