Summary
In this chapter, we have reviewed the MicroProfile implementation that is used in the rest of the book, some best practices for building a container for a MicroProfile application, and how to deploy that application into Kubernetes. While the chapter isn't an exhaustive review of the capabilities available in Kubernetes, it does focus on the particular considerations for deploying MicroProfile applications to Kubernetes, and why they interact with Kubernetes services. This chapter should have provided you with a good starting point for creating and deploying MicroProfile applications using Open Liberty, containers, and Kubernetes.
The next chapter will describe an example application that makes use of MicroProfile for a set of microservices deployed in a container to a Kubernetes cluster.
