TechTrends is an online website used as a news sharing platform, that enables consumers to access the latest news within the cloud-native ecosystem. In addition to accessing the available articles, readers are able to create new media articles and share them.
In this project we will:
- Apply the best development practices and develop the status and health check endpoints for the TechTrends application.
- Package the TechTrends application by creating a Dockefile and Docker image.
- Implement the Continuous Integration practices, by using GitHub Actions to automate the build and push of the Docker image to DockerHub.
- Construct the Kubernetes declarative manifests to deploy TechTrends to a sandbox namespace within a Kubernetes cluster. The cluster should be provisioned using k3s in a vagrant box.
- Template the Kubernetes manifests using a Helm chart and provide the input configuration files for staging and production environments.
- Implement the Continuous Delivery practices, by deploying the TechTrends application to staging and production environments using ArgoCD and the Helm chart.
- Step 1: Best Practices For Application Deployment
- Step 2: Docker for Application Packaging
- Step 3: Continuous Integration with GitHub Actions
- Step 4: Kubernetes Declarative Manifests
- Step 5: Helm Charts
- Step 6: Continuous Delivery with ArgoCD
