Yes, absolutely! TBD exactly which toolchain I will use, but I think the real value will be in showing how to evaluate all of the options and figure out how to fit it into a cohesive system!
Hi, on our company we started using kubernetes for one web app and it seems a bit overkill but we also wanted to learn the platform, while I managed to deploy and implement CI/CD I can't seem to find any monitoring like requests per second, and I'm also interested to know if it makes sense to deploy scripts (not web apps) in kubernetes. Looking forward for the next videos to see if I can understand things better, thanks
Yeah, for a single application/service kubernetes brings a lot of overhead! That's good you were able to get it running, though! In order to track something like requests/second, there are a couple of options. If you are using a service mesh, that can provide metrics like that which you can then access in whatever monitoring tool you are using. You also could expose those types of metrics from your application via a /metrics endpoint and view those in your monitoring tool. Scripts can be run in Kubernetes! (usually as Jobs or Cronjobs). Because of the effort required to bundle/configure something to run in k8s, is probably only makes sense to do so for things that you will run repeatedly (or if you have a bunch of things that you can share similar tooling/configs for to make them easier to manage).
Hi, will there be Automated IaC provisioning mechanism present? i.e. something like automated crossplane based cache, db and network setup before the deployment from CD even starts.
Yes! I haven't decided on the exact toolchain, but I will certainly be using an IaC tool to provision all of the cloud resources (VPC, IAM, Clusters, DBaaS, etc...)
@@DevOpsDirective that's true, these are mostly things that are done in-house by companies and not taught in tutorials so its great to see you break the ice for others to follow. It will help a lot of people.
Awesome. Will it also include something like argocd to handle dev, staging and prod environments for apps?
Yes, absolutely!

@@DevOpsDirective Awesome thanks for the reply, I'll be waiting for the next videos cheers

@@DevOpsDirective thanks will be waiting for the part. I am so torn whether this should be part of CD, and how to do gitops on this etc.
@@DevOpsDirective any updates on this project?
Waiting
👀 -- next video drops Monday 6/27!
That's really great , keep on
What about cf-for-k8s?
I haven't looked at it in depth. Is it essentially a self managed PaaS you deploy into a k8s cluster?
@@DevOpsDirective yes, basically the whole Cloud Foundry thing setup on k8s, takes about about 20-30 minutes to setup at first
Sounds like I'll have to do an episode exploring it! 🤓
Excellent, looking forward to this series!
Awesome -- the next video drops tomorrow! (It's about deciding if kubernetes is the right choice for your organization)
@@DevOpsDirective Looking forward to it!
that will be a great series.
I hope so! I haven't seen anything out there like this yet, so I decided to make it myself! 😀

I felt that every company I consult for was building building some variant of this platform so I figured why not showcase how to do it here?!
@@DevOpsDirective perfect
