This is the project starter repo for the fourth course in the Udacity Full Stack Nanodegree: Server Deployment, Containerization, and Testing.
In this project you will containerize and deploy a Flask API to a Kubernetes cluster using Docker, AWS EKS, CodePipeline, and CodeBuild.
The Flask app that will be used for this project consists of a simple API with three endpoints:
GET '/': This is a simple health check, which returns the response 'Healthy'.POST '/auth': This takes a email and password as json arguments and returns a JWT based on a custom secret.GET '/contents': This requires a valid JWT, and returns the un-encrpyted contents of that token.
The app relies on a secret set as the environment variable JWT_SECRET to produce a JWT. The built-in Flask server is adequate for local development, but not production, so you will be using the production-ready Gunicorn server when deploying the app.
