Intro

In the last article, titled: For the Helm of it, I successfully demonstrated how to deploy a single Web-Application - WebApps at random from the DockerHub Artifactory using Helm Charts templates.

And by thus doing, we managed to demonstrate with Screenshots :

Creating a Helm chart template
Modifing the Helm template to accomodate a custom Web Application of our choosing
Appended /etc/hosts file to facilitate DNS resolution to hostnames maltina.app1 and maltina.app2
Enabling Ingress to accept external web traffic

Intro

In a cheeky 🥴 bid to demonstrate a simple app deployment 🧐 utilizing Helm Charts, 🤔 I would be plagiarising a friends article on Helm Charts that actaully got me started, provided the ground work and basic understanding on them.. I really loved his take on it.

🤓 Getting the hang of ☸️ HELM CHARTs: whats cool 😎 and whats not🥴..

Ok, the said friend of mine wrote this banging article about deploying an app using Helm Charts templates. And I really loved it. It was simple, concise and to the very point.

🖧️ My Kubernetes Setup 💻🖥️

OK, We are talking Kubernetes here.

Intro

If you’re reading this, it’s obvious you’ve been directed here from one of my posts. You’re likely curious about which Kubernetes setup I used to demonstrate a specific step or procedure.

The short answer like the description says - It’s mostly Minikube 😎. (still reading ?)

Ok then. To keep my project posts focused on application logic and deployment strategies, I’ve centralized the details of my underlying infrastructure here. Whether I’m running a quick local test or stress-testing a high-availability cluster, this is the ‘source of truth’ for my environment.
