This project successfully delivered a containerized health web application and deployed it on Kubernetes with advanced features. It covered building the app with Docker, pushing to IBM Cloud Container Registry, deploying via Kubernetes, implementing Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA), and managing rolling updates and rollbacks.
The project demonstrates practical skills in cloud-native application lifecycle management and container orchestration.
- Built and deployed a simple health web application using Docker and Kubernetes
- Autoscaled the application using Horizontal Pod Autoscaler
- Performed rolling updates and rollbacks for zero-downtime deployment
- Cloned project artifacts from GitHub and prepared the environment.
-
Completed the multi-stage
Dockerfileto build the health application image.
-
Built and tagged the image, pushed it to IBM Cloud Container Registry.
-
Created and applied the
deployment.ymlmanifest.
-
Exposed the application locally via port-forward and launched it in the browser.
-
Configured the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA).
-
Generated load and observed autoscaling behavior.
-
Updated the UI and pushed a new image.
-
Applied the updated deployment and confirmed the UI changes.
-
Verified rollout history and details.
-
Checked replica sets after updates and rollback.
