This tutorial provides a guide to building, containerizing, and deploying a Node.js application using Docker and Kubernetes on a single local system. It also includes steps to set up Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Kubernetes and use Kubernetes secrets to store sensitive information.
The tutorial is divided into the following steps:
Step 1: Inspect the Node.js Application
Step 2: Configure, build and run a Docker container
Step 3: Set up a local Kubernetes cluster using Minikube
Step 4: Scale the application by increasing the number of replicas
Step 5: Implement Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Kubernetes
Step 6: Add secrets to Kubernetes to store sensitive information
Step 7: Summary and Conclusion
