This repository contains comprehensive documentation for the Kubernetes learning project. It's designed to outline the journey of setting up, configuring, and managing a Kubernetes environment with a focus on microservices, CI/CD practices, Helm, Istio, and monitoring tools.
The primary goal of this project is to deepen understanding and practical skills in Kubernetes and related cloud-native technologies. This involves:
- Setting up a multi-node Kubernetes cluster.
- Implementing CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment.
- Creating and managing Helm charts for various microservices.
- Integrating and configuring Istio for advanced service mesh capabilities.
- Establishing a robust monitoring system using Prometheus and Grafana.
