Summary
In this chapter, we learned about running stateful workloads on Kubernetes. First, we reviewed a high-level overview of some of the types of stateful workloads and some examples of each. Then, we moved on to actually deploying one of these workloads – an object storage system – on Kubernetes. Next, we did the same with a NewSQL database, CockroachDB, showing you how to easily deploy a CockroachDB cluster on Kubernetes.
Finally, we showed you how to deploy the RabbitMQ message queue on Kubernetes using a Helm chart. The skills you used in this chapter will help you deploy and use popular stateful application patterns on Kubernetes.
If you've made it this far, thanks for sticking with us through all 15 chapters of this book! I hope that you have learned how to use a broad spectrum of Kubernetes functionality and that you now have all the tools you need in order to build and deploy complex applications on Kubernetes.
