A Quick Overview of Kubernetes Architecture!

What is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform used for running distributed applications and services at scale. Also known as “k8s” or “kube”, Kubernetes helps in automating manual and tedious activities involved in managing, deploying and scaling containerized applications.

Here’s a quick overview of Kubernetes architecture, its components and how they interact with each other. Let’s read this brief Kubernetes architecture explanation to learn and explore more on the different components of Kubernetes and how its components work together.

BuildPiper- The ideal Kubernetes & Microservices Application Delivery Platform for your Business!

The need for “Managed Kubernetes”!

Just by looking at the Kubernetes architecture diagram, one can easily make out how difficult and cumbersome it is to deploy a Kubernetes cluster. Here is how Managed Kubernetes comes into the picture. The need for Managed Kubernetes arises when enterprises face challenges while deploying Kubernetes.

Managed Kubernetes helps to overcome the difficulties of deploying Kubernetes that arises due to the complex Kubernetes architecture. So, in order to manage the complete setup, operation, execution, and deployment of a Kubernetes cluster, enterprises assign third-party services to overcome the complex challenges of deploying Kubernetes.

The Rise of Containers

Today, it wouldn’t be wrong to consider containers and microservice-based architectures as key threads in the fabric of next-gen tools and technologies to modernize enterprise applications. The basic concept behind the approach is to replace traditional, monolithic app development with a Microservices architecture supported by the cloud, API-based services, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native storage.

But how easy is the adoption of these advanced tools? Do you have the basic foundation and setup for adopting containers and is your container strategy sustainable for the long haul? These are some of the many challenges that organizations face while adopting containers.

Setup Percona Postgresql Through the Awsesome(OSM) Ansible Role

Percona is known for its software solutions for most Databases. It gives a single solution with the best and most critical enterprise components from the open-source community.

In terms of monitoring, it provides Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) tool which is a best-of-breed monitoring solution. It helps you reduce complexity, optimise performance, and improve the security of your business-critical database environments.

Percona is a well-known solution for MySQL databases, including monitoring and performance tools that help manage and gain insight into open source database environments. It also provides an XtraBackup tool for MySQL which ease the problem of incremental backup of DB efficiently.

Traefik a Reverse Proxy/Load Balancer

Traefik is an open-source Edge Router that is made to deploy services with ease. It is brilliant enough to request on behalf of your system and for finding which components are responsible for handling those requests.

This is a 4 series blog where PART1 includes Introduction to Traefik with key Concepts and Configuration. Part2,Part3, and Part4 are to follow.

In its essence, it is a dynamic reverse proxy written in the Go language.

But before exploring how Traefik works and handles the requests, let’s first take an idea about what exactly the terms edge router and reverse proxy mean.
