1. Basic Concepts 1.1 Kubernetes Kubernetes (K8s for short), the successor to Google’s Borg, is an open-source system for automatically deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications. The features it provides: Automated deployment of containers Automated scaling up and down Automated application/service upgrades Grouping containers to serve traffic externally, with load balancing support Health checks for services, with automatic restarts 1.

To make it easier for CI to integrate UI automation tests, the Robot Framework runtime needs to be packaged as a Docker image. This post covers the configuration and scripts involved in the packaging process. 1. Packaging Directory Structure 1 2 3 4 5 6 tree . ├──

1. Directory Structure The django-devops-uwsgi directory holds the image build files that package uWSGI and Django. It installs the necessary packages such as uWSGI, pip, and virtualenv into the image. When a container is created from the image, the start.sh script runs: it creates the Python virtual runtime environment, installs the dependency packages from Django’s requirements.

1. Basic Concepts Docker Compose is a Docker tool for defining and running complex applications. With Docker Compose, you can define a multi-container application in a single file, then use a single command to start your application and finish all the preparation work. Docker Compose positions itself as ‘defining and running complex applications with Docker’.
