Discover the methodologies and best practices for getting started with container services monitoring using Prometheus, AppDynamics, and Dynatrace. The book begins with the basics of working with the containerization and microservices architecture while establishing the need for monitoring and management technologies. You’ll go through hands-on deployment, configuration, and best practices for Prometheus. Next, you’ll delve deeper into monitoring of container ecosystems for availability, performance, and logs, and then cover the reporting capabilities of Prometheus. Further, you’ll move on to advanced topics of extending Prometheus including how to develop new use cases and scenarios. 

You’ll then use enterprise tools such as AppDynamics and Wavefront to discover deeper application monitoring best practices. You’ll conclude with fully automated deployment of the monitoring and management platforms integrated with the container ecosystem using infrastructure-as -codetools such as Jenkins, Ansible and Terraform. The book provides sample code and best practices for you to look at container monitoring from a holistic viewpoint. 

What You Will Learn

The book starts with an introduction to GKE and associated services. The authors provide hands-on examples to set up Container Registry and GKE Cluster, and you will follow through an application deployment on GKE. Later chapters focus on securing your GCP GKE environment, GKE monitoring anddashboarding, and CI/CD automation. All of the code presented in the book is provided in the form of scripts, which allow you to try out the examples and extend them in interesting ways.

Discover the methodologies and best practices for getting started with Google cloud automation services including Google Cloud Deployment Manager, Spinnaker, Tekton, and Jenkins to automate deployment of cloud infrastructure and applications.  

The book begins with an introduction to Google cloud services and takes you through the various platforms available to do automation on the GCP platform. You will do hands-on exercises and see best practices for using Google Cloud Deployment Manager, Spinnaker, Tekton, and Jenkins. You’ll cover the automation aspects of the Google Cloud Platform holistically using native and upcoming open source technologies.

The authors cover the entire spectrum of automation from cloud infrastructure to application deployment and tie everything together in a release pipeline using Jenkins. Pro Google Cloud Automation provides in-depth guidance on automation and deployment of microservices-based applications running on the Kubernetes platform. It provides sample code and best practice guidance for developers and architects for their automation projects on the Google Cloud Platform. 

This book is a good starting point for developers, architects, and administrators who want to learn about Google cloud automation.

The third volume of the series ‘Bacilli and Agrobiotechnology’ is comprised of 25 chapters that bring a unique perspective to the readers about Bacillus-mediated biotic and abiotic plant stress tolerance, bioremediation and bioprospecting. These chapters are prepared by the leading scientists of global repute. The negative impacts of agrochemicals such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides on human health and environment are paramount. Bacillus and allied genera of beneficial plant-associated microbes are presenting beacon of hope to the farmers, plant scientists and stewards of environment.

Several chapters of this volume focus on the induction of various signaling pathways in plants by Bacillus spp. to alleviate biotic and abiotic stresses impacted by global climate change

Agricultural lands contaminated with heavy metals affect the ecological food chain starting from crop cultivation. How the toxic effects of trace metals originating from industrial effluents and agrochemicals can be remediated? This book addresses how to overcome these issues by applying elite strains of Bacillus. Bioprospecting is a systematic and organized search for conversion of bioresources to industrially important products by utilizing microbe-derived metabolites. This volume is enriched by including the bioprospecting aspects mediated by Bacillus spp. with novel insights.

This book covers a wide range of topics such as role of microorganisms in the global carbon cycle, the impact of climate change on microbial communities, and the feedback mechanism between them. Microorganisms produce and consume greenhouse gases to transform essential elements, such as carbon and nitrogen, to form their cellular components. Microorganisms are also involved in nitrogen and phosphorus cycling, which are essential for plant growth and productivity. Thus, the role of microbial communities in agroecosystems with biogeochemical cycles is imperative for addressing the current global warming situation.

Microorganisms are highly sensitive to changes in environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, and nutrient availability. As the climate continues to change, shifts in microbial community structure and function may have significant consequences for ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, water purification, and carbon sequestration.

In this book experts from a range of fields, such as microbiology, ecology, biogeochemistry, and climate science come together to provide a holistic perspective on the role of microorganisms in climate change. This book is of reference to policymakers, educators, researchers and students working in the field of microbiology and climate sciences.
