Kubernetes: from Zero to Hero with Kompose, Minikube, k3sup and Helm — Part 2: Hands-On
This is part two of our series on how we designed and implemented a scalable, highly-available and fault-tolerant microservice-based Image Editor. This part depicts how we went from a basic Docker Compose setup to running our application on our own »bare-metal« Kubernetes cluster.
Kubernetes: from Zero to Hero with Kompose, Minikube, k3sup and Helm — Part 1: Design
This is part one of our series on how we designed and implemented a scalable, highly-available and fault-tolerant microservice-based Image Editor. The series covers the various design choices we made and the difficulties we faced during design and development of our system. It shows how we set up the scaling infrastructure with Kubernetes and what…
Creating an Email Server Environment with Docker and Kubernetes
As a part of the lecture “Software Development for Cloud Computing” our task was to bring an application into a cloud environment. When we presented our software project MUM at the Media Night in our 4th semester, we talked with a few people about dockerizing MUM together with a whole email server configuration. While brainstorming…
