What this book covers

Chapter 1, Demystifying the Site Reliability Engineering Paradigm, includes the new SRE domain and the need for SRE patterns, platforms, practices, programming models and processes, enabling frameworks, appropriate technologies, techniques, tools, and tips.

Chapter 2, Microservices Architecture and Containers, introduces concepts such as containerization, microservice architecture (MSA), and container management and clustering, which contribute to the realization of reliable applications and environments.

Chapter 3, Microservice Resiliency Patterns, covers DevOps under SRE since automation and DevOps play a big role in the SRE journey.

Chapter 4, DevOps as a Service, focuses on various microservice resiliency patterns that intrinsically and insightfully enable the design, development, debugging, delivery, and deployment of reliable systems. 

Chapter 5, Container Cluster and Orchestration Platforms, provides a detailed explanation of the preceding technologies for ensuring the goals of SRE. 

Chapter 6, Architectural and Design Patterns, explains how architecture and design are the ultimate building blocks during service or microservice development, giving you clarity and direction to implement any logic in the cloud era.

Chapter 7, Reliability Implementation Techniques, gives a guarantee that the future is bright and makes us optimistic that things are going to change in the cloud era.

Chapter 8, Realizing Reliable Systems – the Best Practices, includes the best practices arising from the expertise, experience, and education of site reliability engineers, DevOps people, and cloud engineers.

Chapter 9, Service Resiliency, explains all about the platforms for container enablement and orchestration purposes.

Chapter 10, Containers, Kubernetes, and Istio Monitoring, covers how we can monitor applications or services running on clusters, pods, and Kubernetes using Prometheus and Grafana.

Chapter 11, Post-Production Activities for Ensuring and Enhancing IT Reliability, look at the various activities to be performed in order to prevent any kind of disaster, so as to fully guarantee the SLAs agreed with customers, clients, and consumers.

Chapter 12, Service Meshes and Container Orchestration Platforms, conveys what and why the multi-cloud approach is gaining unprecedented market and mind shares.
