Deployment Blueprint
Multi-zone Kubernetes clusters with service mesh, GitOps workflows, and comprehensive monitoring stack.
Infrastructure Architecture
- Kubernetes Multi-Zone Deployment: Worker nodes distributed across availability zones
- Ingress & Load Balancing: High-availability ingress controllers with WAF integration
- Node Pool Separation: Dedicated node pools for different workload types and resource requirements
- Persistent Storage: High-performance, replicated storage for data persistence
- Network Architecture: Private networking with controlled ingress/egress and service mesh
Operational Considerations
- GitOps Deployment: All infrastructure and application deployments managed through Git workflows
- Auto-scaling: Horizontal and vertical pod auto-scaling based on metrics and schedules
- Backup & Recovery: Automated backup procedures with tested recovery processes
- Security Hardening: Pod security policies, network policies, and runtime security
- Monitoring & Alerting: Comprehensive observability stack with proactive alerting
Implementation Notes
This blueprint provides vendor-neutral guidance that can be adapted to various technology stacks. The patterns and principles shown here apply whether you're using cloud-native solutions, enterprise platforms, or open-source alternatives.
Technology Flexibility: While the logical architecture remains consistent, you can implement these patterns using different technologies based on your organization's requirements, existing investments, and operational preferences.
