This guide serves as a practical reference for deploying applications on Kubernetes, designed for technical professionals who have already containerized their applications. It focuses on the application deployment layer, assuming a properly configured Kubernetes cluster is in place. The content systematically documents common anti-patterns encountered during deployment - such as misconfigured resource limits, flawed health checks, and insecure secret management - and pairs each one with a concre...

This book chronicles the 15-year genesis of Wi-Fi from an internal venture within NCR Corporation to a billion-dollar global market. Written by a key leader who spearheaded the technology through successive corporate transformations (NCR, AT&T, Lucent Technologies, Agere Systems), it provides a firsthand account of innovating inside large, often skeptical, organizations. The narrative details the relentless struggle to develop and market a disruptive wireless LAN technology that didn't align wit...

Sometimes only words will do. Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) were a great advance, creating an easy route into computers for non-technical users. But for complex tasks, GUIs can block off choices and require a circuitous route even for simple tasks. Enter the command line: the blinking cursor many thought had faded away in the 1990s. For getting instructions from user to computer - in a clear, quick, and unambiguous form - nothing beats the command line. It never disappeared on UNIX and Linux...

Space exploration is fascinating and inspiring for children and adults alike. With the tiny Raspberry Pi computer helping to change the world little by little, it was only a matter of time before it went into space to help out there as well. The Raspberry Pi Sense HAT aids two Raspberry Pi computers on board the International Space Station in their extraterrestrial mission: it sits on top of each Raspberry Pi, equipped with lights and sensors that allow the Raspberry Pi to interact with the worl...

Microservices are currently getting a lot of attention: articles, blogs, discussions on social media, and conference presentations. They are rapidly heading towards the peak of inflated expectations on the Gartner Hype cycle At the same time, there are skeptics in the software community who dismiss microservices as nothing new. Naysayers claim that the idea is just a rebranding of service-oriented architecture (SOA). However, despite both the hype and the skepticism, the Microservices Architectu...

The move to microservices is described as a seismic shift in web application development and delivery. The authors at NGINX explain that, because they believe this shift is crucial to their customers' success, they have launched a dedicated program to develop NGINX software features and development practices in support of microservices. They also recognize that there are many different approaches to implementing microservices, many of them novel and specific to individual development teams. The...
