Exercise for Infrastructure Candidates

Prerequisites

You will need the following tools installed on your machine.

Kubectl
Terraform
Helm
Docker-Desktop - Enable Kubernetes as documented in https://docs.docker.com/desktop/kubernetes

Once you have enabled Kubernetes, you will need to export the following environment variable for the instructions to work:

export KUBE_CONFIG_PATH=~/.kube/config

The Terraform Kubernetes provider needs this environment variable in order to find the Kubernetes cluster set up in Docker-Desktop.

Install the monitoring stack on your Kubernetes environment using:

terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply -auto-approve

This will install Loki and Promtail for logs, Prometheus for metrics, and Grafana for dashboards.

There is a Helm installation of an online boutique with misconfigurations. Fix the misconfigurations to get a fully functional product!
