Tools

It is imperative to choose tools that complement the Kubernetes and are also reliable and widely used in the industry. Therefore, we selected:

• Kubeadm: For cluster provisioning and management
• Jenkins: An automation server used as a continuous integration server
• ISTIO: Leveraging service mesh capabilities
• Prometheus: To scrape metrics from containerized workloads and store them in a time series database.
• Grafana: For visualizing Kubernetes cluster and monitoring the application metrics using dashboard.
• ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana): Centralized log monitoring
• Filebeat: For harvesting application log files
