Kubernetes and Microservices: Orchestration, Deployment, and Observability

This chapter explores the relationship between Kubernetes and microservices, emphasizing how Kubernetes simplifies the use of microservices through orchestration, networking, and resource discovery. It also delves into the hierarchy of elements in Kubernetes, the role of eBPF in observability, the containerization environments used, networking considerations, and application performance monitoring. The chapter concludes by discussing the division of observability between the system and application planes and the potential use of eBPF as a sensor for automatic detection and data collection.
