Chapter 12. Deploying to the Cloud with Kubernetes
Kubernetes, also known as the container orchestration tool. As we have seen in the previous chapter, it comes with many additional features and is much easier to configure and manage. This makes Kubernetes a default choice for any container orchestration. The ability to mask the lower-level details and provide out-of-the-box service discovery, self-healing, and health checks attracted many companies and organizations to switch to Kubernetes. Aside from that, Kubernetes is the evolution of Google's internal orchestration tool.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Generating Kubernetes configuration files with JHipster
- Walking through the generated files
- Deploying the application to Google Cloud with Kubernetes
