The efficiency of applications deployed in a cluster can be further augmented with an event-streaming platform such as Apache Kafka. This in-depth tutorial shows you how to configure a Kafka server on […]
Read moreLogical Architecture Our installation is designed to have the Master-Node controlling the Worker Nodes. At the end of this installation, our logical architecture will look something like this. Master Node – This machine generally acts as the control plane and runs the cluster database and the API server (which the kubectl CLI communicates with). Our 3-node Kubernetes Cluster will look something like this: Installation of Kubernetes […]
