Cloud native infrastructure : patterns for scalable infrastructure and applications in a dynamic environment

Cloud native infrastructure is more than servers, network, and storage in the cloud--it is as much about operational hygiene as it is about elasticity and scalability. In this book, you'll learn practices, patterns, and requirements for creating infrastructure that meets your needs, capable of managing the full life cycle of cloud native applications. Justin Garrison and Kris Nova reveal hard-earned lessons on architecting infrastructure from companies such as Google, Amazon, and Netflix. They draw inspiration from projects adopted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), and provide examples of patterns seen in existing tools such as Kubernetes. With this book, you will: Understand why cloud native infrastructure is necessary to effectively run cloud native applications Use guidelines to decide when--and if--your business should adopt cloud native practices Learn patterns for deploying and managing infrastructure and applications Design tests to prove that your infrastructure works as intended, even in a variety of edge cases Learn how to secure infrastructure with policy as code If you're considering the use of cloud native applications and microservices, you also need an infrastructure with the same elasticity and scalability of the applications they're running. This practical guide shows you how to design and maintain infrastructure capable of managing the full lifecycle of these implementations. Engineers Justin Garrison (Walt Disney Animation Studios) and Kris Nova (Dies, Inc.) reveal hard-earned lessons on architecting infrastructure for massive scale and best in class monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting. The authors focus on Cloud Native Computing Foundation projects and explain where each is crucial to managing modern applications. Understand the fundamentals of cloud native application design, and how it differs from traditional application design Learn how cloud native infrastructure is different from traditional infrastructure Manage application lifecycles running on cloud native infrastructure, using Kubernetes for application deployment, scaling, and upgrades Monitor cloud native infrastructure and applications, using fluentd for logging and prometheus + graphana for visualizing data Debug running applications and learn how to trace a distributed application and dig deep into a running system with OpenTracing "Organizations considering the use of cloud native applications and microservices also need an infrastructure with the same elasticity and scalability of the applications they're running.
