💡 TipOPS of the day 👨‍💻 👩‍💻 A team created a GKE cluster with 3 nodes (for high availability) to test their applications, if all tests are ok, they can deploy to production cluster with the same GKE configuration. How can we improve this architecture ? 👉 We can create a GKE cluster with only one node with autoscale and use spot VM because it's not a critical environment (this practice will reduce GKE invoice). To optimise cost and resources, a scheduler can be created to shutdow the pods every night (outside office hours) and during the weekend. For production, autoscale is a recommanded practice and choose the most optimised compute engine. If you have another tips about this subject, share it 😄 #cloud #gke #GoogleCloud #kubernetes #architect #devops

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀! Picture a world where building infrastructure doesn’t feel like starting from scratch every time. That’s the power of Terraform dynamic modules—a game changer for managing scalable and efficient setups in modern DevOps environments. 🔑 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀? Dynamic modules allow you to write reusable, turning repetitive tasks into modular, scalable, and error-free workflows. Whether you’re managing multiple VPCs, security groups, or application stacks, dynamic modules empower teams to: - Save Time: No need to rewrite code for every environment (Dev, Staging, - Prod). - Reduce Errors: Standardize infrastructure to eliminate inconsistencies. - Encourages dry coding: Focus on innovation, not duplication. - Increase Collaboration: Share modules across teams for consistency and efficiency. 💡 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲: Say you're deploying an Application Load Balancer (ALB). Instead of hardcoding the configuration for every project, a dynamic module can accept inputs like VPC IDs, subnet lists, and security groups—letting you deploy an ALB anywhere with just a few lines of code. Need a change? Update the module, and every instance benefits. In professional environments, where teams manage complex multi-cloud infrastructures, dynamic modules unlock scalability and agility. They’re not just for Terraform enthusiasts, they’re a necessity for modern DevOps workflows. Drop your experiences, lessons, or questions below—I’d love to hear how you’re scaling your infrastructure. 📢 Let’s build smarter, not harder! #Terraform #InfrastructureAsCode #DevOps #CloudEngineering #PlatformEngineering #AWS #Azure #GCP #IAC #CloudComputing #Automation #EngineeringExcellence #TechLeadership

𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 Kubernetes 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 💣💣💣 .... As June came to a close, I made a commitment to myself: the month of July would be dedicated to mastering Kubernetes from scratch. One of my major goals this year is to gain deep expertise in Kubernetes, a powerful tool in the world of container orchestration. On July 1st, I began this exciting journey, fully aware that technology is ever-evolving. My aim is to achieve a solid understanding and practical mastery of Kubernetes within the next 𝟭-𝟮 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀. While the learning process continues beyond this timeframe, I’m committed to staying updated and continuously enhancing my skills. I'll be sharing my learning journey here on LinkedIn, hoping to inspire others. Kubernetes may seem complex, but with the right focus, dedication, and time, mastery is within reach. After all, it was developed by a group of engineers who dedicated their time and effort to create this incredible tool. I firmly believe that nothing is truly hard, it’s all about perspective. When something seems challenging, it’s not that it’s inherently difficult; it’s just puzzling. The key is to seek out the right information or find someone who can guide you through the concept. Cheers to everyone out there who is currently learning Kubernetes or reinforcing their existing knowledge. Let’s continue to push our boundaries and achieve greatness together! 🚀 #Kubernetes #LearningJourney #TechGoals #ContinuousLearning #Inspiration #DevOps #DevOpsEngineer #Dedication #Focus

𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 + 𝐀𝐊𝐒: 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟑-𝐓𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 ☸️ Hello, Dear Network! Ever struggle with the gap between what you want your infrastructure to be (𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞) and its 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 after manual deployments? my post this time dives into how Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform and AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) can bridge that gap for your 3-tier applications deployment. 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 & 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 Think of Terraform as your infrastructure architect. It uses ".𝐭𝐟" files to define the 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞, then referring to the 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 ".𝐭𝐟𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞" generates a plan outlining the changes needed. Running terraform apply executes the plan, provisioning the infrastructure on your cloud provider (Azure in our case). Terraform then updates the .tfstate file. Additionally, Terraform outputs provide access to specific infrastructure details after provisioning. Your cloud provider groups resources within a "Resource Group." Here, we have two virtual networks: one for the 𝐀𝐊𝐒 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫  ("aks-vnet") and another for the 𝐌𝐲𝐒𝐐𝐋 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐫 ("db-vnet"). Both networks have associated Network Security Groups (𝐍𝐒𝐆𝐬) for access control and dedicated subnets for isolation. To ensure smooth connectivity between these networks, we established a 𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 connection and deployed a 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐃𝐍𝐒 𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞 to help decouple code from network configuration (dynamic IP addresses allocation of resources) and use hostnames instead. 𝐊𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥 & 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 Kubectl manages the application components deployed within the AKS cluster. It utilizes the 𝐊𝐔𝐁𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐆 (env var) after associating it with the kube_config file (obtained from Terraform outputs) to connect to the cluster. Deployment 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬, defined in .yaml files, describe the 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 of the application tiers (frontend and backend). Each tier has its 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭and 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 definition. The AKS cluster, provisioned by Terraform, then takes center stage. An 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 (frontend service) distributes traffic to the frontend tier 𝐩𝐨𝐝𝐬 (replicas), ensuring smooth user interaction. The backend 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 acts as a friendly 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧, facilitating communication between the frontend and backend tiers. By leveraging IaC with Terraform and Kubectl for deployments within an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster, we can achieve efficient and streamlined infrastructure management for 3-tier applications. #Terraform #Kubernetes #Infrastructureascode #Cloudcomputing #Devops #Moderninfrastructure #Visualjourney
