Look inside
The application development teams at EC-O, an e-commerce organization that sells products for outdoor enthusiasts, want to institute a well-defined solution for publishing and deploying their containerized applications (packaged using Helm) to AKS clusters. Their goals are to orchestrate the process of testing and publishing Helm charts to a centralized, private repository and to automate application updates from their Helm charts, from development to staging to production. As E-CO’s DevOps engineer, you’ll use the Azure Container Registry to store the Helm charts and Azure DevOps pipelines to orchestrate the publishing of new versions of a chart and deploy the update to multiple environments. Using Terraform, you’ll set up the AKS cluster, Azure Container Registry, and Azure DevOps pipelines. By the end, you’ll have helped E-CO’s teams achieve their goals—and positioned yourself one step closer to a promotion!
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
