Exploring Cloudnative tools

• Kubernetes Dashboard - For monitoring a Kubernetes cluster
  Deployed Kubernetes Dashboard using Terraform and Helm charts

• DevSpace - For Kubernetes native development workflow
  Experimented with a simple Go application

• Traefik - For exposing applications outside the Kubernetes cluster
  Exposed Traefik Dashboard itself and another sample application using Kubernetes Ingress provider

• Kubernetes Gateway API - Better replacement of NGINX and Ingress
  Used the HTTPRoute resource to expose a sample application using Traefik as the reverse proxy

• Bitnami Sealed Secrets - Storing Kubernetes Secrets encrypted in Github to leverage GitOPs advantages
  Generated Sealed Secret manifest file from existing Kubernetes Secret manifest file

• CockroachDB with goLang Migrate - Distributed SQL database (CockroachDB) with a database migration tool (goLang Migrate)
  Ran migrations for a cockroachDB cluster running in the cloud

• Argo Ecosystem - For creating fully automated Kubernetes native CI/CD pipelines based on GitOps principles
  Created an end to end CI/CD pipeline to deploy a server

  You can find the code in this repository - https://github.com/Archisman-Mridha/kubernetes-cicd-with-argo

• RabbitMQ - For inter-service communication using Advanced Message Queue Protocol (AMQP) Made 2 microservices communicate with each other using the AMQP protocol and the message was marshelled / unmarshalled using protobuf.

• Istio Service Mesh

  Initially I had plans to use the Cilium Service Mesh which is based on the eBPF technology. I use WSL2 and currently I am having problems running eBPF programs and Cilium in WSL2. So intead, I will explore Istio for temporary usage.

• Cloudnative PG with Atlas (for executing database migrations in a Kubernetes native manner).
