Why you should be excited about Kubernetes 1.12?
I’m a bit late writing about this release of Kubernetes. It's already their 3rd release of 2018. Looking over the release notes and playing around with the new features is clear that the focus of the last release (making internal improvements) is continued in this release. The most notable features of this release are the support for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) and my personal favorite kubelet TLS Bootstrap.

Configuration management is one of the key areas when it comes to maintaining a fast-paced, agile, and continuous development environment. I am mentioning fast-paced because you can see the number of software and hardware updates you get day in, day out. Even the smallest of devices, like your mobile phones, get a system update every year. Your source code or library needs a patch fix; your operating systems get updates from time to time, and your firewalls and firmware need an update.

DevOps is fast becoming a standard right now and CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment) is the term often associated with development and release of a software in the DevOps process. In simple terms, CI (Continuous Integration) is a process that allows developers to integrate their code in the main shared repository, multiple times a day and providing them with instant feedback about possible broken functionality or tests.

Node JavaScript or Node.js is an open source, cross-platform, runtime environment for executing JavaScript code outside a browser. Node.js is often used to build back-end services which are nothing but the APIs. A backend is an application running on a server or on the cloud to store data, send emails or push notifications, and kick off workflows. Node.js is ideal for building highly scalable data-intensive and real-time back-end services that can boost your applications. Also, if required, the backend can serve to the backend.

Kubernetes is a great solution when you want to run container workloads. The options and flexibility it affords you let you run your applications within containers with ease. This is great when you have applications that are easily containerized. But what if you have applications that aren’t easily containerized (legacy applications, enterprise software), but you’d still like to leverage the features that Kubernetes gives you?

Kubernetes provides a very advanced platform for making continuous deployment a reality for software development teams. Continuous deployments and delivery take away the dread and crunch associated with deploying new code to users. The ability to reliably deploy code and, more importantly, rollback when problems occur is invaluable to fast-moving development teams. This gives engineering teams the flexibility to experiment while iterating very fast.
