Summary

We started this chapter by covering microservices, their benefits and their trade-offs. Following this, we went on to deploy a set of microservices called social network, where we used Helm to deploy a sample microservice-based application. We were able to test the service by sending events and watching objects being created and updated. Finally, we covered the storing of events in Azure Event Hub using Kafka support, and we were able to gather the required details to connect our microservice-based application and modify the Helm chart. The next chapter will cover cluster and port security using secret objects provided by Kubernetes.
