After Frodo and Sam had trekked from the Shire to Mount Doom, was their task finished? No—the whole journey would’ve been for nothing if they hadn’t thrown that ring into the fire. Likewise, building a service means something only after you’ve deployed it. Therefore, in this chapter, we’ll deploy a cluster of our service. We’ll:
Create an agent command-line interface (CLI) so we have an executable to run our service.
Get set up with Kubernetes and Helm so that we can orchestrate our service on both our local machine and later on a cloud platform.
Run a cluster of your service on your machine.
Ready? Let’s get started.
