The repository contains a number of methods and templates used to fully initialize a virtual infrastructure from scratch based on VSphere and configure it, which will serve to deploy various kinds of micro-service applications using a combination of technologies terraform + packer + ansible + docker + kubernetes + jenkins

• For initialization it is necessary to install Terraform depending on the host operating system
• Auto setup requires Ansible
• If fine-tuning is required, you will need kubectl

The infrastructure is deployed based on VSphere ESXI 6.5+. Terraform initializes deployment of virtual hosts from prepared Ubuntu20.04 templates configured with Packer. Next, the k8s cluster is deployed using Kubespray. Kubernetes cluster already contains the minimum required settings for using CI / CD based on Jenkins. Using Load Balancer with metalLB and workload scaling with Horizontal Pod Autoscaling Application source code is stored in the apps folder. Jenkins is configured to build applications using Docker files and storing the result in the registry. Application deployment happens by running a Docker image in a kubernetes cluster. Notification about the result of the assembly occurs using the telegram bot.

• To initialize the whole process (deploying the infrastructure, building and running applications), you must specify all the dependencies in the configuration files and apply the terraform file.
