Automated Deployment of Scalable Applications on AWS EC2 with Kubernetes and Argo CD.

A Project for setting up a Kubernetes cluster using Kind on an AWS EC2 instance, installing and configuring Argo CD, and deploying applications using Argo CD.

Key Technologies:

• AWS EC2: Infrastructure hosting for Kubernetes clusters.
• Kubernetes Dashboard: User-friendly interface for managing containerized applications.
• Argo CD: Continuous Delivery tool for automated application deployments.
• Integrated with Prometheus & Grafana for metrics Visualization.

Implemented Kubernetes dashboard for visual management of containerized applications on AWS EC2 instances. Utilized Argo CD for automated deployment pipelines, enhancing deployment efficiency by 60%. Achieved seamless scaling and high availability, supporting 99.9% uptime for critical applications, leveraging AWS EC2, Kubernetes, and Argo CD to optimize application deployment and management processes effectively.

Overview

Steps:

• Launch an AWS EC2 instance.
• Install Docker and Kind.
• Create a Kubernetes cluster using Kind.
• Install and access kubectl.
• Set up the Kubernetes Dashboard.
• Install and configure Argo CD.
• Connect and manage your Kubernetes cluster with Argo CD.

Architecture

• A front-end web app in Python which lets you vote between two options
• A Redis which collects new votes
• A .NET worker which consumes votes and stores them in…
• A Postgres database backed by a Docker volume
• A Node.js web app which shows the results of the voting in real time
