Shaheer-Microservices-CloudLab

Overview

Shaheer-Microservices-CloudLab is a comprehensive cloud-native microservices repository designed for scalable, high-performance applications. This project integrates modern DevOps tools and methodologies to deploy and manage microservices efficiently using Kubernetes, Istio, and Terraform across AWS and Azure environments.

Features

• Microservices Architecture: Containerized microservices deployed using Docker & Kubernetes.
• Service Mesh with Istio: Secure and manage microservices traffic efficiently.
• Ingress & API Gateway: Centralized traffic routing using Kubernetes Ingress.
• Cloud Agnostic: Supports AWS and Azure cloud providers.
• Infrastructure as Code: Uses Terraform for automated cloud resource provisioning.
• Monitoring & Logging: Prometheus for metrics and centralized logging.
• CI/CD Pipelines: Automated deployment with GitHub Actions & ArgoCD.

Architecture

High-Level Workflow

1. Code is pushed to GitHub.
2. CI/CD pipelines trigger builds and tests.
3. Docker images are pushed to container registries.
4. Kubernetes deploys microservices across cloud environments.
5. Istio handles service-to-service communication.
6. Prometheus monitors application health and performance.

Installation & Deployment

Prerequisites

• Docker & Kubernetes installed
• AWS or Azure CLI configured
• Terraform installed
• Helm package manager

Deployment Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Shaheer4636/Shaheer-Microservices-CloudLab.git
   cd Shaheer-Microservices-CloudLab

2. Deploy infrastructure using Terraform:

   cd deployment/terraform/aks  # Change to EKS if using AWS
   terraform init
   terraform apply

3. Deploy microservices to Kubernetes:

   kubectl apply -f kubernetes-manifests/

4. Set up Istio service mesh:

   istioctl install --set profile=demo -y
   kubectl apply -f istio-manifests/

5. Configure monitoring with Prometheus:

   helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
   helm install prometheus prometheus-community/prometheus

CI/CD Pipeline

• Uses GitHub Actions for build automation.
• ArgoCD manages Kubernetes deployments.
• Helm charts ensure consistent deployments across environments.

Monitoring & Logging

• Prometheus collects and visualizes application metrics.
• Fluentd/ELK Stack provides centralized logging and alerting.

Contribution Guidelines

• Fork the repository.
• Create a feature branch.
• Open a pull request with detailed changes.
