Microservice Architecture: Practical Implementation

Additional Kubernetes Features

Discover the advanced features of Kubernetes to enhance microservice management. Learn how liveness and readiness probes monitor pod health, namespaces isolate environments, and persistent volumes handle stateful applications. Understand the role of operators like Prometheus for automation and Helm for simplifying deployments. This lesson equips you with practical knowledge for flexible and resilient microservice implementations using Kubernetes.

We'll cover the following...

Kubernetes is a powerful technology with many features. Here are some examples of additional Kubernetes features:

Monitoring with liveness and readiness probes #

Kubernetes recognizes the failure of a pod via Liveness Probes. A custom Liveness Probe can be used to determine when a container is started anew depending on the needs of the application.

A Readiness Probe, however, indicates whether a container can process requests or not.

  • For example, if the application is blocked by processing a large amount of data or has not yet started completely, the Readiness Probe can report ...
