The way developers design, build, and run software has changed significantly with the evolution of microservices and containers. These modern architectures use new primitives that require a different set of practices than most developers, tech leads, and architects are accustomed to. With this focused guide, Bilgin Ibryam and Roland Huß from Red H

There are efforts like the Open Container Initiative (OCI) that aim to create an industry standard around container formats and runtime. Docker is the first container implementation based on OCI specifications, and is unarguably the most popular container format. Docker nicely complements the Java programming model by allowing you to package your a

With Kubernetes came many new concepts, particularly around networking and traffic management. Alongside these new concepts were entirely new classes of tools, designed for ephemeral, containerized, and distributed application deployments. In particular, Ingress controllers and service meshes did not exist prior to the Kubernetes era. Nor were Laye
