Use ECI And Serverless Kubernetes

This experiment mainly uses Alibaba Cloud Elastic Container Instance (ECI) to describe its basic usage. ECI is an agile and secure serverless container instance service. It allows you to run containers without managing servers.

Use Function Compute As a Api Gateway Back-end Service

This experiment uses Alibaba Cloud Api Gateway services and Function Compute services. In the experiment, ApiGateway is used as the interface of external client access, and the back end uses function calculation to access the user's business application, and processes the data returned by the business application, which data will be returned to the client in the end.

Install And Use Docker On Ubuntu 16.04

The experiment in this document primarily describes how to use Docker on the Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS).Docker is an open source application container engine. It allows developers to package their applications and dependencies to a portable container and publish the applications to any mainstream Windows or Linux system.

Basic Usage Of Kubernetes

This experiment primarily uses Container Service of Alibaba Cloud. It shows how to create a Kubernetes cluster on this service, to help you to understand the basic concepts and functions of Kubernetes.

Understanding Process Management In Docker Containers

This experiment uses Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS). This experiment describes the process management in Docker containers. Using one process per container is a recommended pattern in Docker, which is applicable to microservices-based applications that run a single process.

Usage Of Pod Controllers Frequently Used In Kubernetes

This experiment uses Alibaba Cloud Container Service for demonstration. This experiment describes the features and usage of Deployment, Job, CronJob, DaemonSet, and other objects of pod controllers that are frequently used in Kubernetes.

Manage Application Configurations On A Kubernetes Cluster

This experiment uses Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes. This experiment shows how to use ConfigMap and Secret to pass application configuration information in Kubernetes.

Mount Volumes To pods In Container Service

This experiment uses Alibaba Cloud Container Service. Container Service is a high-performance and scalable container application management service that supports lifecycle management for enterprise-level Kubernetes containerized applications.

Work With Service Objects And Pod Probes In Kubernetes

This experiment uses Alibaba Cloud Container Service for demonstration. It describes how to use pod health checks and the service object that handles load balancing for pods in Kubernetes.

Achieve Visual Monitoring Schemes Based On Container Service For K8S

For monitoring containers in Kubernetes clusters, there are a lot of monitoring software and tools, so users can choose many monitoring schemes, and the overall architecture of each scheme is similar. Based on Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes, two typical open source monitoring schemes can be easily achieved. The first is to use Heapster, InfluxDB, and Grafana in combination, and the second is to use the Prometheus.

Use Ingress To Expose Services In Kubernetes

This experiment involves Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes. It demonstrates how to use a Kubernetes Ingress. You can expose services within a Kubernetes cluster to clients outside the cluster by using the Service or Ingress method. Service is an abstraction which defines a logical set of pods with identical functions that provides an unchanged endpoint.
