Implementation principles
In Chapter 1, Introduction to Kubernetes Infrastructure and Production-Readiness, we learned about the infrastructure design principles that we will follow during the book. I would like to start this chapter by highlighting the notable principles that influenced the cloud-native data management suggestions and the technical decisions in this chapter:
- Simplication: In this chapter, we will retain our commitment to the simplification principle. Unless you are operating in a multi-cloud environment, it is not necessary to introduce new tools and complicate operations. On public clouds, we will use the native storage data management technology stack provided, and which is supported by your managed service vendor. Many stateful applications today are designed to fail and provide built-in, high-availability functionality. We will identify different types of stateful applications and learn how to simply data paths and fine-tune for performance. We will also...
