Release and Tagging strategy for Microservices running on Kubernetes

Releasing product is one of the critical phase of software development life cycle, so much brainstorming will go in to design versioning and release strategy for a product. In olden days, it was all different, applications were monolithic, build and release management teams used to build this, entirely as a package (.WAR or .EAR files) by creating one version and putting it in artifact repository, triggering a process to deploy package in application servers. Versioning is pretty straight forward because it is monolithic and treated as one application. Now things are changed, considering complexity and inflexibility of monolithic application, people has opted to build application as set of smaller and interconnected services called microservices. In effect of this, versioning and releasing of individual microservices and for overall application became complex. There are no straight forward principles which solves problem, it entirely depends on various factors like branching strateg

Insights about Certified Kubernetes Administrator(CKA)

Attending certification exams is one of the way to test our skills and to check whether we are moving in right direction towards understanding technology properly. I have taken CKA exam in December 2018 and passed it with 92%. Overall it was very good experience, it's not that tough if you are already working on kubernetes clusters. Major advantage of taking up CKA is we will be able to cover almost all kubernetes concepts, core components and features etc during preparation. Normally in day to day work, we do not get opportunity to cover everything. Experiences: As a first step, I have read CKA experiences in Internet, it certainly gave me an idea how to prepare and how exam pattern looks like.
