Look inside
At Interpop, a positive experience for users is priority number one. As a Kubernetes administrator for the music streaming service, you’re responsible for securing the Kubernetes platform where the streaming service runs and maximizing resource usage to provide a trustworthy, reliable, and performant system. You’ll change the cluster API configuration to allow access only to people and machines that require it. You’ll back up and restore the vital etcd datastore, minimizing potential downtime in the event of a disaster. To learn to identify errors caused by changes, you’ll make a change in the kube-system namespace and check the pod logs for any resulting problems. Then, with an eye to the future, you’ll patch Kubernetes by updating the control plane components via kubeadm, setting it up for bug fixes and new features. By the end, your Kubernetes cluster will be impenetrable, and that’s sure to be music to users’ ears.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
