Assignment

Your task is to accomplish the following:

• Build a small Kubernetes environment locally. Please use whatever local k8s environment you would like (KiND, minikube, etc)
• Build Docker files for both sample applications (applications must return correct results)
• Use pulumi to deploy the pods to the cluster. Please use whatever programming language you are most familiar with.
• Ensure the api microservice is exposed and reachable externally (ie: we should be able to access the api microservice from the laptop we are running it on). Communication to the jobs microservice should be available from the api microservice
• Ensure the JOBS_SERVICE env var is present in the api container
• Make the process as automated as possible. shell scripts, Makefiles, etc. are all acceptable.
• Please include instructions in the README.md for running the setup

Bonus points

If you have extra time and want to expand on some capabilities:

• Adding metrics and monitoring pod status (ie: prometheus)
• Harden containers / pods to best practices

Notes:

• Please do not fork or submit a PR to this repo
• Be prepared to have a conversation about the challenge, as well as how you would automate this process even further with CI/CD
• Feel free to improve the python code
• If you get stuck or need more information, please reach out for clarity
• Have fun!
