Look inside
SecurityNewsSource is a victim of its own success. A spate of high-profile cyber attacks has sent thousands of customers flocking to join its security alerts platform, and now the service is buckling under the weight of all the new users. They need a solution that will scale quickly. To help out, they’ve turned to you. The SecurityNewsSource app runs on Kubernetes, and in this liveProject you’ll be boosting its resilience and scalability with modern cloud native practices. Your challenges will include horizontally scaling the service without reducing functionality, allowing Kubernetes to monitor liveness and readiness, and setting up monitoring systems to keep an eye on important metrics. You’ll also make important adjustments to improve the service’s security, all to ensure that SecurityNewsSource’s customers keep getting essential alerts without disruption.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
