Lab ~ (Mirror of GitLab) Continuous deployment of a Flask application to Azure Container Apps through GitLab CI, authenticated with OIDC and no stored secret.

Lab ~ (Mirror of GitLab) Terraform "http" backend on GitLab Managed State. Import of a hand-created Azure storage account, state migration, locking, and verification scripts.

Lab ~ Azure Blob storage with the az CLI: private and public containers, SAS URLs, redundancy, and integration with provision.sh.

Lab ~ Containerized logging API on Azure, deployed fully as code with Terraform and GitLab CI/CD. Overview and entry point to the GitLab repos.

Lab ~ (Mirror of GitLab) Deploy a microservices architecture on a 9-node Kind cluster spanning 3 zones. High availability is validated through strict anti-affinity, rolling updates and health probes, then stress-tested with Siege during simulated node or zone failures.

Lab ~ Terraform-provisioned observability for a Flask API on Azure: App Insights traces plus managed Prometheus metrics, unified in one Grafana dashboard with email alerts.

Lab ~ Self-hosted OpenStack on Azure: Terraform builds the host, Ansible installs DevStack, one command demos it end to end.

Capstone project 01 ~ Terraform infrastructure for the quiz application on Azure: private network, PostgreSQL, Redis, Key Vault, App Service and Static Web App, applied by pipeline through OIDC.

Lab ~ (Mirror of GitLab) Back up and restore Kubernetes resources with Velero on a managed AKS cluster, storing the backups in Azure Blob Storage. The Azure side is described with Terraform and Velero authenticates through Workload Identity, so no access key is stored.

Capstone project 02 ~ End-to-end Azure infrastructure with Terraform and GitLab CI. Identity-based access with Entra ID, AKS with remote Velero backups, and zero credentials stored in Git or Kubernetes.

Lab ~ (Mirror of GitLab) First steps with a local KIND cluster: deploy nginx (3 replicas) and expose it to the host machine through a Service.

Lab ~ (Mirror of GitLab) Secure Azure Files share over SMB, restricted to a single IP and protected by Azure Backup. Provisioned with Terraform, operated through a Makefile.

Lab ~ Recreate an Azure infrastructure (App Service, Function App, Container) with Terraform code instead of the az CLI, for versioned and automated management.

Capstone project 01 ~ Angular 22 application for revising Microsoft Azure certifications, by module or by mock exam, hosted on Azure Static Web Apps.

Lab ~ (Mirror of GitLab) Three Go microservices built into one distroless image and pushed to Azure Container Registry by GitLab CI. Secretless through OIDC, one tag per commit, triggers the deployment pipeline.

Lab ~ (Mirror of GitLab) A small Go (Gin) REST API backed by MongoDB, orchestrated with Docker Compose. The app is scaled across multiple replicas behind an HAProxy load balancer.

Lab ~ (Mirror of GitLab) A small Go web service packaged with a multi-stage Dockerfile and Docker Compose for reproducible local runs. It exposes a /healthz endpoint wired to the container healthcheck, demonstrating containerization best practices.

Lab ~ (Mirror of GitLab) Three Go microservices (API Gateway, Books, Movies) built from a single image and deployed on a Kind cluster, with only the gateway exposed through a LoadBalancer service.
