• Final version: [v0.1.0]

Background

In the early of 2021, I started to learn about more about Terraform, GitOps and CI/CD while doing site reliability engineering works at Axon. So thinking about a project that could help me learning by doing make me excited. But no good idea hits me until there is one inspiring project from my co-worker: a homelab project that build a bare metal Kubernetes cluster. So I started the first project of 2021 called the "Humble" project.

Objectives

The objectives are quite simple to achieve:

• Codify everything from bare metal layer to the underlying infrastructure and the upper Kubernetes with Terraform, Ansible.
• Automate deployment cycle of applications with ArgoCD.

Overall

Besides the main objectives, I have tried to implement the code with best practices for infrastructure-as-code, figuring out the approaches with different set of tools and frameworks, combining them together for a better DevOps solution. So far, I consider the project is successful with all of my expectations.
