1. Build and
Deploy a Multi-Tier Application
🔹 Deploy a complete architecture with
frontend (React), backend (Node.js), and database (PostgreSQL).
🔹 Use Helm charts for deployment and
set up Ingress Controller for external access.
🔹 Add Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA)
for dynamic scaling.
Key Learning:
Kubernetes basics, Helm charts, and resource scaling.
2. GitOps
Workflow with ArgoCD
🔹 Implement GitOps for automating
Kubernetes deployments.
🔹 Sync a GitHub repo to your cluster
using ArgoCD.
🔹 Add CI/CD pipelines with GitHub
Actions for automated testing and Docker builds.
Key
Learning: GitOps principles, CI/CD integration, and declarative configurations.
3. Secure
Kubernetes with Kyverno
🔹 Apply policy-driven governance in
your cluster using Kyverno.
🔹 Enforce Pod security standards
(e.g., non-root users, restricted image registries).
🔹 Create custom policies for resource
limits and compliance.
Key
Learning: Kubernetes security, policy enforcement, and compliance management.
4.
Kubernetes Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana
🔹 Set up Prometheus to scrape cluster
metrics and Grafana for custom dashboards.
🔹 Monitor CPU, memory usage, and
request latency with real-time insights.
Key
Learning: Monitoring and observability for production environments.
5.
Multi-Cluster Management with Rancher
🔹 Manage multiple clusters across
different cloud providers (e.g., EKS, GKE) using Rancher.
🔹 Implement role-based access control
(RBAC) and centralized monitoring.
Key
Learning: Multi-cluster management, RBAC, and scalability.
