The Corda Deployment Initiative

Description:

This repo is all about doing a personal experiment for kubernete based deployment using Corda-based services as a focal point.

Establish an AKS cluster... keep it running. Start with a 2 node cluster and adapt as the deployed workloads increase demand.
Package and deploy the Corda sample apps and deploy them in the AKS cluster adjusting the deployment strategy for each application as necessary, and re-configuring the cluster based on the workload requirement
Deploy a 'test-service'... a simple workload to apply new configurations on before expending the effort to apply to nodes.
capture the learnings in a Gitbook service with video demos of 10min or less embedded in each page.

Understand pod design and workload resource planning for Corda workloads
Multi-tenant considerations for Corda workload management (data isolation, auth, resource quota management)
Ingress routing structure for managing workloads in a multi-tenant cluster
Explore the usage strategies for the official Corda container
Explore devops pipeline design with in-cluster or out-of-cluster devops tooling
workload deployment strategies suitable for highly stateful services like Corda workloads
deployment for the complete set of services including nodes, firewall, and CENM

CI Server - Jenkins
test workload - TBD... an Nginx deploment can be simple or complex a provide interesting learning opportunities
Springboot servers - adds value as a front end for Corda nodes
Hawtio - provides access to metrics, alleviates the user from needing to deploy Hawtio locally
off-cluster data sources - provide nodes access to off-cluster db's to understand cross-cloud latency issues
