Inception of Things

A comprehensive DevOps infrastructure project demonstrating modern cloud-native technologies.

Project Summary

Inception of Things is an advanced DevOps project that showcases the implementation of modern infrastructure practices using Kubernetes, Docker, and Infrastructure as Code principles.

Architecture Overview

The project implements a multi-tier architecture:

• Container Layer: Docker containers for application packaging
• Orchestration Layer: Kubernetes for container management
• Infrastructure Layer: Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
• Monitoring Layer: Prometheus and Grafana for observability

Technologies Implemented

Core Technologies

• Kubernetes: Container orchestration platform
• Docker: Containerization technology
• Terraform: Infrastructure as Code
• Helm: Kubernetes package manager

DevOps Tools

• CI/CD: GitHub Actions
• Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana
• Logging: ELK Stack
• Security: Falco, OPA

Implementation Details

Kubernetes Configuration

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: web-app
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: web-app
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: web-app
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: web-app
        image: nginx:alpine
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80

Infrastructure as Code

resource "kubernetes_deployment" "web_app" {
  metadata {
    name = "web-app"
    labels = {
      App = "WebApp"
    }
  }

  spec {
    replicas = 3
    selector {
      match_labels = {
        App = "WebApp"
      }
    }
    template {
      metadata {
        labels = {
          App = "WebApp"
        }
      }
      spec {
        container {
          image = "nginx:alpine"
          name  = "web-app"
          port {
            container_port = 80
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
