🚀 DevOps Production Platform

Kubernetes | CI/CD | ELK Observability

A production-style DevOps platform demonstrating CI/CD automation, Kubernetes orchestration, autoscaling, and centralized logging using the Elastic Stack (ELK).

---

📌 Project Highlights

• 🔁 End-to-end CI/CD using Jenkins
• 🐳 Dockerized application
• ☸️ Kubernetes deployment (Minikube)
• 📈 Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA)
• 📊 Centralized logging & observability with ELK
• 🧱 Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
• 🔒 Secure repository with best-practice .gitignore

---

🏗️ Architecture Overview

Architecture Flow

1. Developer pushes code to GitHub
2. Jenkins pipeline builds Docker image
3. Image pushed to Docker Hub
4. Kubernetes deploys application pods
5. HPA automatically scales pods
6. Filebeat collects container logs
7. Elasticsearch stores logs
8. Kibana provides dashboards & alerts

---

📊 Observability Dashboard (Kibana)

A single centralized dashboard provides:

• Application error visibility
• Log volume by namespace
• Interactive filters (namespace, pod, container)
• Real-time troubleshooting
