Project Structure

Project Objective

This project is about deploying a microservices-based application using automated tools to ensure quick, reliable, and secure deployment on Kubernetes. By focusing on Infrastructure as Code, you'll create a reproducible and maintainable deployment process that leverages modern DevOps practices and tools.

Steps to Deploy the Microservice Application

Ensure you have the following installed on your local machine:

Git
AWS CLI
Helm
Terraform

Using Terraform as an Infrastructure as a Code (IaaC) tool, create a main.yml file to contain the deployment of your infrastructure in AWS.

Confuigure your terminal for AWS with AWS configure and complete the prompt as required
Initialize terraform in the same directory of your main.tf with the command terraform init
To preview the resources to be deployed, run terraform plan
Run terraform apply to provision the resource on AWS.
Go to your AWS console to confirm the provisioned resource as shown in the image below
Configure kubectl to use the new EKS cluster. aws eks update-kubeconfig --region us-east-1 --name sock-shop
kubectl apply -f <yml-file-create-app-deployment>
Check your AWS console to view deployed app
Configure your current directory to make your namespace default
To see all running deployment, pods and services, run kubectl get all
