Senior Level Assignment: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Advanced Monitoring
Scenario:
You are leading a team responsible for managing the infrastructure of a large-scale application. You need to implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices and set up advanced monitoring and alerting solutions.
Requirements:
1) IaC Implementation: Use Terraform or a similar tool to define the infrastructure as code. Write Terraform scripts to provision and manage:
-
Kubernetes clusters.
-
Networking resources (e.g., VPCs, subnets).
-
Storage resources (e.g., EBS volumes, S3 buckets).
2) CI/CD Integration: Integrate Terraform scripts into the CI/CD pipeline. The pipeline should:
-
Automatically apply changes to infrastructure based on code commits.
-
Perform automated testing of infrastructure changes before applying them.
3) Advanced Monitoring: Set up advanced monitoring and alerting solutions using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager. Configure monitoring to:
-
Collect metrics from Kubernetes clusters, nodes, and pods.
-
Create custom dashboards to visualize performance and health metrics.
-
Configure alerting rules to notify teams of critical issues or anomalies.
Additional notes
-
You can use any programming language you prefer (GoLang is a plus). You are allowed to use open-source packages as you see fit.
-
follow best practices for Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
-
Any details not specified in the description are up to you.
-
Provide clear and detailed documentation for deploying, scaling, and maintaining the platform.
-
Once completed, the assignments should be published in a publicly accessible version control system such as Git.
