Components

1. Ansible

• inventory.ini: Defines target hosts for automation.
• playbook.yml: Automates deployment tasks (e.g., Docker installation, app deployment).

2. App

• backend/: Python Flask API with its own Dockerfile and requirements.
• frontend/: Static HTML frontend with its own Dockerfile.

3. Kubernetes

• backend-deployment.yaml: Deployment spec for backend service.
• frontend-deployment.yaml: Deployment spec for frontend service.
• service.yaml: Service definitions for exposing the app.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Kubernetes (Minikube, k3s, or cloud provider)
• Ansible
• Python 3.x

1. Build Docker Images

# Backend
cd app/backend
docker build -t ibm-backend .

# Frontend
cd ../frontend
docker build -t ibm-frontend .

2. Run with Kubernetes

kubectl apply -f k8s/backend-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/frontend-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/service.yaml

3. Deploy with Ansible

ansible-playbook -i ansible/inventory.ini ansible/playbook.yml

Notes

• Update image names in Kubernetes YAMLs if you push to a registry.
• Customize Ansible playbook for your environment.
