It is very important to understand the flexibility of open source software by taking a solution and analyzing every aspect of it that needs to be taken into consideration. In this book, we will cover commonly used software in their most typical configuration based on Linux Operating Systems and Open Source software.This book will start with an overview of the design methodology and then quickly deep dive into helping you understand the core concepts of designing a solution. Next, you will understand the decisions needed to be made when deploying a high performance solution using gluster. The next set of chapters will help you understand the advantages of using Kubernetes as an orchestrator for deploying and managing containerized applications and also know learn how to deploy and configure Kubernetes for your NGINX application. Next, you will learn to implement an ELK stack composed of Elastisearch, Logstash and Kibana. The last set of chapters will focus more on installing and configuring a Spacewalk solution to manage different Linux distributions and also provide you with a set of design best practices towards the end.By the end of the book, you will have delved inside the technical aspects of designing a solution, where you will dissect every aspect with in-depth details to implement and tune Open Source Linux based solutions.Downloading the example code for this book.
