Project title: Streamlining Containerized Application Deployment on IBM Cloud
Kubernetes Using Container Registry
Solution development and testing for Streamlining Containerized Application Deployment
on IBM Cloud Kubernetes Using Container Registry
Project id: 5022511
Solution Development and Testing
1. Solution Development:
• Setting Up IBM Cloud Environment and Configuring Tools:
o Create an IBM Cloud account.
o Install necessary tools: Minikube, kubectl, Docker.
o Set up IBM Cloud Container Registry and enable image vulnerability
scanning.
• Implementing Containerization:
o Create Dockerfiles for frontend and backend applications.
o Build Docker images and push them to IBM Cloud Container Registry.
2. Testing the Solution:
• Setting Up Minikube and Deploy Applications:
o Start Minikube.
o Create and apply Kubernetes deployment and service YAML files for
frontend and backend.
• Verify Deployments:
o Check running pods and services.
o Access applications via Minikube service IP or tunnel.
• Testing CI/CD Integration:
o Set up GitHub Actions for CI/CD pipeline.
o Automate build, test, and deployment stages using Minikube and IBM Cloud
CLI.
• Conduct Stress and Load Testing:
o Use tools like Apache JMeter or Postman.
o Monitor performance using Minikube's dashboard or tools like Grafana.
3. Future Improvements:
• Enable autoscaling for Minikube clusters.
• Integrate advanced CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins or Tekton Pipelines.
• Add automated vulnerability scanning during the CI/CD process.
