Why Choose This Project?
Modern enterprises rely on Kubernetes for container orchestration, but manual setup can be complex and error-prone. Automating Kubernetes cluster provisioning with Terraform (IaC) and Ansible (configuration management) ensures scalability, consistency, and repeatability across multiple environments. This project teaches DevOps best practices while enabling students and professionals to build production-ready clusters in a cloud environment.
What You Get
Automated Kubernetes cluster provisioning using Terraform
Configuration management and setup automation with Ansible
Secure, scalable, and production-ready deployment
Multi-cloud support (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Real-world DevOps & SRE experience
