Summary
In this chapter of the book, we have explored the communication process between application packages as containers within Kubernetes pods. We have also highlighted the significance of networking as a crucial aspect of any IT solution deployment. Although Kubernetes has introduced new concepts to simplify communication, some of these have both advantages and disadvantages.
To achieve better network performance and DevOps practices, the Kubernetes CNI list has grown substantially. Therefore, it is important to carefully study and select the appropriate CNI type for each application stack. To apply what has been learned in this chapter, it is recommended to evaluate the networking requirements of each application and choose the most suitable CNI plugin for optimal performance and functionality.
In the next chapter, we will learn about design patterns for telecommunications and other industries.
