🦦 Kubernetes Automated Load Balancer

A project focused on designing and implementing automated load balancing within a Kubernetes cluster using GitOps practices. This project aims to enhance scalability, reliability, and performance by dynamically distributing traffic across multiple services, while maintaining infrastructure as code and automated deployment processes through continuous integration and delivery pipelines.

πŸ›  System Requirements

  • πŸ₯¨ K3s - Lightweight Kubernetes Distribution
  • πŸ‹ Docker - Containerization
  • ☸️ Kubernetes - Container Orchestration
  • πŸ“¦ Helm - Package Manager for Kubernetes
  • πŸš€ GitHub Actions - Continuous Integration and Delivery Pipelines
  • πŸ” Vault - Secrets Management
  • πŸ™ ArgoCD - GitOps Continuous Delivery
  • 🚦 Traefik - Ingress Controller for Kubernetes
  • πŸ“Š Prometheus - Monitoring and Alerting Toolkit
  • πŸ“ˆ Grafana - Observability Platform
  • πŸ—οΈ OpenTofu/Terraform - Infrastructure as Code (on 🫁 Setup Server)
  • β–² Next.js - React Framework
  • πŸ“¦ Upstash - In-Memory Data Structure Store

✨ Features

  • Automated Load Balancing: Automatically distribute incoming traffic across multiple services within a Kubernetes cluster.
  • GitOps Practices: Maintain infrastructure as code and automated deployment processes through GitOps practices.
  • Auto-Scaling: Dynamically scale services based on traffic load and resource utilization.
  • Limitless Scalability: Scale services horizontally and vertically to meet growing demands.
  • Rolling Updates: Perform zero-downtime deployments and updates with rolling updates.
  • Monitoring and Logging: Monitor and log cluster performance, resource utilization, and service health.
