Stateful application services rely on infrastructure such as databases and message brokers, provisioned in Kubernetes using Helm Charts. This provisioning account does not detail redundancy or failure-tolerance mechanisms. section 5.1.1
Uptime
High availability is a system property that minimizes service interruption through redundancy and failure tolerance.
How Platform Engineering on Kubernetes covers it
- How deep it goes
- Describes Helm-chart selection for provisioning, without detailing redundancy or failure-tolerance mechanisms.
- Examples
- Uses a walking skeleton with Redis for Agenda, PostgreSQL for C4P, and Kafka as its message broker.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure infrastructure by selecting a suitable Helm Chart for a component to provision in Kubernetes.
- How it connects
- Connects application infrastructure with Kubernetes, Helm Charts, stateful services, and databases.
