Density DevOps Homework Assignment

Goal

Your goal is to show how you would build, and deploy the included applications using Kubernetes and cloud-native tooling.

Assignment

Your task is to accomplish the following:

  • Build a small Kubernetes test cluster either locally or in the cloud. A single node is fine. Feel free to use Terraform with a cloud provider or an all-in-one tool for a local cluster
  • Build Docker files for both sample applications (applications must return correct results)
  • Build a deployment mechanism for these apps
  • Describe a plan for continuous delivery with the specific tools/vendors you'd look at and your evaluation criteria for them

Deliverables

We'd like to see a repo with the following:

  • A Dockerfile for each application
  • Repeatable deployment mechanism for each application
  • A README with the set-up process so we can run it ourselves
  • A text file with a brief write-up about brief the following:
    • Continuous Delivery plan for the app ecosystem
    • Discussion of tools chosen, and how you would
  • Well-written git commit messages to show your progress. (Hint: we can't tell if you rebase! 😉 )

Bonus Points for Any of the Following

  • Separate build and deploy stages in your Dockerfiles
  • Automated local or cloud-based Kubernetes environment for testing

Create a new repo using your Github account with a unique name and send us the final product! If you'd prefer to make the repo private, that's fine too! When you're ready, you can add us as collaborators.

Notes

  • Please do not fork or submit a PR to this repo
  • Feel free to change the python application code and/or their requirements to make them more "cloud native"
  • If you get stuck or need more information, please reach out for clarity
  • Have fun!

Getting Started in Local Development

Running the apps outside of a container:

pip install -r requirements.txt
sqlite3 database.db < schema.sql
python app_a.py
python app_b.py
