Summary
In this chapter, we designed and planned the development, deployment, and management of the Hue platform - an imaginary omniscient and omnipotent service - built on microservices architecture. We used Kubernetes as the underlying orchestration platform, of course, and delved into many of its concepts and resources. In particular, we focused on deploying pods for long-running services, as opposed to jobs for launching short-term or cron jobs, explored internal services versus external services, and also used namespaces to segment a Kubernetes cluster. Then we looked at the management of a large system such as Hue with liveness and readiness probes, Init Containers, and DaemonSets.
