Kubernetes Voting Platform 🚀

Welcome to the Kubernetes Voting Platform! 🎉 This project demonstrates a simple, scalable voting application deployed using Kubernetes. It’s designed to showcase the power of Kubernetes for container orchestration and microservices architecture.

Overview 🔍

This project uses Kubernetes to deploy a voting app, consisting of multiple components that include:

• Frontend: The user interface for casting votes.
• Backend: The service that processes votes and stores the data.
• Worker: A service that handles the vote counting.

The app is made up of several containerized components, deployed as Pods and exposed as Services using YAML files.

---

Features 💡

• Scalability: Easily scale each component independently.
• Containerization: All components are containerized using Docker images.
• High Availability: Kubernetes ensures your app runs smoothly with multiple replicas of each service.
• Easy Deployment: Simply apply the YAML configuration files to deploy the app on any Kubernetes cluster.

---

Project Structure 📁

• pod.yaml: Defines the Pods for the frontend, backend, and worker.
• service.yaml: Exposes the frontend and backend components as Kubernetes Services.

---

Setup and Deployment 📦

Prerequisites ⚙️

• A running Kubernetes cluster (local or cloud-based).
• kubectl configured to interact with your cluster.
• Minikube (for local Kubernetes setup) or any cloud Kubernetes service (e.g., GKE, EKS, AKS).

Steps to Deploy 🚀

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/SDE-Arun/kubernetes-voting-platform.git
   cd kubernetes-voting-platform

2. Apply the Pod and Service YAML files:

   kubectl apply -f pod.yaml
   kubectl apply -f service.yaml

3. Check the status of your pods:

   kubectl get pods

4. Access the Voting App:
   You can access the app through the frontend service in your cluster. Use the following command to get the service URL:

   kubectl get svc

Kubernetes Architecture 🏗️

This project is based on the following Kubernetes components:

• Pods: The basic deployable units that contain your containers.
• Services: Exposes the app’s frontend and backend to the outside world, allowing for load balancing and stable access.
