The need for automation is becoming more important day by day. The process of integrating written code with already working code and publishing new code to live environments is a very error-prone process. Performing static analysis, running tests, packaging, and versioning are tasks that require a lot of manual effort. It’s also a complex task to solve the problem of deploying the projects we develop to more than one environment, on more than one machine, without automation.

As with any distributed system, networking plays a fundamental role in Kubernetes. Whether it’s allowing containers on different nodes to communicate, exposing services to external clients, or managing the flow of data between pods, Kubernetes networking is at the heart of the Kubernetes ecosystem. Understanding this system is the key to keeping your deployments running smoothly.

Configuration as code (CaC), a practice that involves setting up operating systems and software through configuration files, has quickly become an essential concept for software developers and DevOps teams. The key reason for this is that CaC integrates seamlessly with CI/CD and version control pipelines, a game-changing benefit discussed in this article.
