345 Tech Talks

The highlights of the podcast are: Kubernetes contributes to 3 of the 7 Outcomes, (https://www.345.systems/how-we-help/) specifically Rapid Delivery, Avalilable & Scalable and Costs Optimised. We briefly cover the concept of Microservices: breaking an application into small units that are independently deployable and scalable. This reduces the complexity of our applications and reduces the regression burden as our services are isolated. Containerising applications means that your application is separated from other applications running on the same machine. Basic Kubernetes terms: Cluster: A group of machines working together to host Kubernetes. Nodes: A machine in the cluster. Master node: A machine running Kubernetes services, which control, monitor and coordinate the applications running on the cluster. Worker node: A machine that hosts applications, that has work assigned to it by the master nodes. Pod: A unit of deployment that can be one or more containers. Pods are scalable. Manifest: A file that descri
