Cloud-Native Engineering: Kubernetes & Istio

Capstone journey

One app · 11 guided projects · Intermediate to Expert

Take one real app, a Storefront, and carry it from a first Kubernetes deploy all the way to a meshed, autoscaling, supply-chain-locked platform that survives a region outage.

You take the same app (Storefront) through 11 projects, each one solving the pain the last left behind. By the end you have shipped a Helm-packaged, TLS-exposed, stateful, hardened platform shipped by CI/CD, meshed with mTLS and progressive delivery, autoscaled on real load, locked down with signed images and admission policy, and proven to fail over across regions, the kind of portfolio piece that gets interviews.

You start

Deploy a microservice to Kubernetes the right way

You finish

Survive a region outage with multi-cluster failover

Capstone journey

Take one real app, a Storefront, and carry it from a first Kubernetes deploy all the way to a meshed, autoscaling, supply-chain-locked platform that survives a region outage.

Deploy a microservice to Kubernetes the right way

Package it with Helm

Expose it to the world with Ingress and TLS

Give it durable state with StatefulSets and volumes

Lock it down: least-privilege RBAC, hardened pods, network policy

Ship it automatically from a CI/CD pipeline

Add a service mesh: traffic, mTLS, and observability

Run a resilient multi-service app with progressive delivery + chaos

Autoscale it to ride real traffic spikes

Lock down the supply chain and enforce policy at admission

Survive a region outage with multi-cluster failover
