Kubernetes Architecture, Best Practices, and Patterns

The field of software engineering, especially the domain of software deployment, has received a strong boost with the arrival of Kubernetes. The aspect of cluster computing, operations, management, networking, governance, resource efficiency, workload consolidation, and deployment gets greatly simplified through Kubernetes. The concept of containerization is being widely accepted and adopted by IT service organizations, independent software vendors, product and tool vendors, communication service providers, enterprise and cloud IT teams, and many more groups. Microservices are small scale services fulfilling a business functionality. Market watchers and analysts say that Kubernetes has captured more than 85% market among the container orchestration platform solutions. Kubernetes powers clusters of edge devices that host and run service and application containers. Kubernetes is being pronounced as the one for overcoming the challenges and concerns in setting up and sustaining multi‐cloud environments. Cloud‐native applications are designed and deployed to be inherently scalable, portable, available, reliable, and predictable.
