Microservices are one of the most important software architecture trends, but it’s one thing to define an architecture and quite another to implement it. 

This course focuses on the nitty-gritty details of real-world implementation. You’ll learn recipes for tech stacks that can be used to implement microservices, as well as the pros and cons of each. 

You’ll start by exploring some fundamental concepts for implementing microservices. Within each concept, you’ll learn about the different technologies used to implement it. The technologies include: Frontend Integration with Edge Side Includes (ESI), asynchronous microservices with Kafka and REST feeds, synchronous microservices with the Netflix stack and Consul, Docker, Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry. Each technology you learn about is described and then demonstrated with real code. 

By the end of this course, you’ll be a microservice pro. Whether you’re a software engineer or an engineering manager, this course will prove useful throughout your career.

Microservice Architecture: Practical Implementation

# Definition

[Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) continuously gaining importance as a runtime environment for the development and operation of microservices.


# Licence and community

Kubernetes is an open source project and under the Apache license. It
is managed by the Linux foundation and was originally created at Google.
An extensive ecosystem has emerged around Kubernetes, offering various
extensions.

# Kubernetes versions

There are different Kubernetes variants.

[Minikube](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube) is a version of
Kubernetes for installing a test and development system on a laptop. 

There are more [versions](https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/) that can be installed on servers or used as cloud offerings:

- [kops](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops) is a tool which enables the
installation of a Kubernetes cluster in different types of
environments like AWS (Amazon Web Services).
- [Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS)](https://aws.amazon.com/eks/)
provides Kubernetes clusters on AWS. 
- Google Cloud also supports
Kubernetes with the
[Google Container Engine](https://cloud.google.com/container-engine).
- Microsoft Azure provides the
[Azure Container Service](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/container-service/)
- IBM Bluemix provides Kubernetes with the
[IBM Bluemix Container Service](https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/containers/container_index.html).




In this lesson, we'll look at a quick introduction to Kubernetes.
