Four hands-on projects exploring virtual machines, containerized applications, Kubernetes, and load balancing.
Provisioned and accessed a Windows virtual machine using Amazon Lightsail, gaining experience with cloud instances, networking, and remote administration.
Containerized small web services using Docker and Docker Compose and configured Nginx. The services included tools for GPA calculation, unit conversion, tips, and text processing.
Created a two-node k3s cluster with a server and worker, deployed a replicated application, and tested how Kubernetes handles pod deletion and node failures.
Built a simulation of incoming web requests distributed across multiple servers, with a request queue, dynamic server scaling, IP blocking, and execution statistics.
