The cloud is becoming the de facto home for companies ranging from enterprises to startups. Moving to the cloud means moving your applications from monolith to microservices. But once you do, maintaining and running these services brings its own level of complexity. The answer? Modularity, deployability, observability, and self-healing capacity through cloud native development. With this practical book, Nishant Singh and Michael Kehoe from LinkedIn show you how to build a true cloud native infrastructure on Microsoft Azure, following guidelines from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). DevOps and site reliability engineers will learn how adapting applications to cloud native early in the design phase helps you fully utilize the elasticity and distributed nature of the cloud. Chapters include: Setting Up the Bedrock: Infrastructure as Code and Azure Engines with Chassis: Container Runtime and Container Registry More Than boxes: Containerizing Your Application The Grand Orchestrator: Kubernetes Following the Breadcrumbs: Observability and More Finding New Territories and Crossing Borders: Service Discovery, Service Mesh, and Proxy Behold the Gatekeepers: Networking and Policy Management Marching Infantry with Armory: Distributed Databases and Storage The Mailman: Streaming and Messaging The Showroom: Software Distribution
