Summary
In this chapter, you learned about the basics of orchestrators and then learned how to install and configure a Kubernetes cluster. More specifically, you learned how to interact with a Kubernetes cluster through Kubectl and Kubectl’s main commands. Then you learned how to deploy and maintain a microservices application, and how to test it locally with the help of Docker and Minikube.
You also learned how to interface your Kubernetes cluster with a LoadBalancer and with an Ingress, and how to fine-tune it to optimize performance.
All concepts were put into practice with both simple examples and with a more complete example taken from the car-sharing case study.
