Developer Defined Infrastructure Using Tectonic and Kubernetes

Manage developer-defined infrastructure using the universal Kubernetes solution-Tectonic About This Book * Deploy, manage, and secure your containers and understand how you can transform your business between the cloud and the datacenter * Deliver consistent environments and save time, money, and resources using the best of CoreOS and Kubernetes through Tectonic * Build next generation Kubernetes-based infrastructure and run powerful enterprise applications on the cloud with simplicity Who This Book Is For This book is for developers who want to write Kubernetes-native applications and operators who want to administer distributed systems applications while leveraging best practices. You need a working knowledge of the Linux command line and the basics of Docker and containers, and experience creating at least one local container and a consumed cloud service.

What You Will Learn * Deploy code on a container-native stack with flexible architectures and automatic load-balancing for services * Migrate existing workloads to containers or start a new project with containers * Explore CoreOS's packaging of Google Infrastructure For Everyone Else (GIFEE) under the offering name "Tectonic" * "Security Spotlight" which will expand on CoreOS's security-minded approach to each of its projects * Find out how to make informed decisions about which components and edition make sense for your use case * Get insights into the evolving patterns used in microservices in a container infrastructure * Comprehend the components and projects used to run web-scale infrastructure * Best practices and trade-offs to consider when designing cloud-native software and running the infrastructure In Detail Tectonic is a powerful container and enterprise solution by CoreOS. It helps deploy, manage, and secure your containers by leveraging and combining the best features of CoreOS and Kubernetes. It provides an integrated container-based solution and is an initiative toward opinionated infrastructure.

The book starts by recognizing that the way infrastructure is defined and consumed is significantly shifting; that we are entering the age of developer-defined infrastructure where the choices of developers dictate what systems, clouds, software, tools, and so on, are used. We then provide a high-level overview of the components and deployment of Tectonic. Next, we cover each component individually at a deeper level with a great emphasis on Kubernetes-the central framework, which is the largest and most complex component within the software suite. Finally, we'll compare it with the other available container orchestration systems, and provide container management best practices, microservices patterns, and anti-patterns in the Kubernetes world.
