Listen "#42: Containers, Docker, Kubernetes and Serverless - explaining Container Orchestrators and Kubernetes"
Episode Synopsis
Over the current few episodes I am introducing a number of technologies from modern Software Delivery.
These are:
Containers
Docker
Kubernetes
And Serverless
There are "hot" technologies within Software Development at the moment.
They are helping Software Teams:
Get Better ROI when spending on Computer Servers
Improving the speed to market
Allowing for more complex and ambitious solutions
These are technologies that your Development Team may want to use or may even be using.
In episode 40, I explained Virtualisation; a technology that makes the other possible.
In episode 41, I introduced Containers and the Docker Container format - a technology that allow us to achieve greater ROI from our physical servers, improves our developer productivity and increase simplicity to access the tools they need,
Towards the end of that episode I talked about how containers and the Microservice architecture from episode 17 are logical bed fellows and are gaining huge industry adoption.
The downside to this however is a level of complexity brought by having so many small "parts" to manage.
While it is considerably easier to think about and develop at a small scale ... Linking them together correctly brings additional overheads to the big monolith on a single server setup.
To make this practical we need a Container Orchestrator - the subject of todays episode.
