Kafka is more effective compared to Java messaging services (JMS) or Advanced message queuing protocol (AMQP).

What is Flagger

What is Flagger and how that is used in cloud ?

Flagger works are controller of the deployment workflow and helps automating the promotion of canary deployments. It utilizes the Istio’s and Prometheus metrics for analyzing application behaviors.
What is Istio ?
Istio is an open source service mesh that allows you to connect, monitor, secure your microservices deployment on premises or in cloud or in Kubernetes orchestration platforms.
What is Prometheus?Prometheus tracks events and helps as an alerting software. 

What is docker daemon

What is Docker Daemon ?

In short, docker daemon acts as a server and exposes APIs to Docker client CLI and other third parties consumers. Altogether docker architectured as a client server based implementation.

What is Kernel ?
Kernel is the core of any Operating system. Kernel has complete control on OS and connects hardware  and softwares.

What is Ansible roles

What is Ansible roles ?

Ansible roles are used to break the Ansible playbooks into multiple files. Usually an Ansible developer may have a tendency to write large single playbooks that adds complexity and that is when Ansible roles would come into real help.
Ansible molecules are used to create the ansible roles. 
How to install Ansible Molecule:pip install molecule 
How to verify the molecule version:$ molecule –version result : molecule, version 2.19.0
What is Ansible galaxy?
Ansible galaxy is site where the ansible developers collaborate to share ansible roles via installing roles, managing roles etc.
How to Initialize a role using Molecule ?Molecule could init a role. The init command can internally access Ansible galaxy. So molecule can generate a directory which has a directory with default as name. Inside that default directory,  test build and run can be performed using docker container.Molecule.yml will have all test scenarios like how to lint and test the roles and playbook.yml is used to test the roles.

How does DNS look up work for Kubernetes

How does DNS look up and DNS resolution work for Kubernetes?

What is DNS?
Think about olden time, we used to keep phone book to find contact numbers. DNS is like a phone book of IP address.

Since this IP number is mapped to computer the requests go to that device and that’s when a request is sent to shalimatech.com the IP gets the resources back to the user.

How Does DNS resolution work in Kubernetes clusters?
DNS resolution is done vis Kubernetes’s CoreDNS. Once you refer resolve.conf then you would understand how kubelets configures this.
