Yes, I was able to deploy my backend API on Kubernetes even though I was new to Kubernetes.

Kubernetes is a container orchestration tool for modern applications built using docker. I know you might have heard of Docker.

Yes, I also used docker too.

The outcome was successful, and with Docker, I was able to containerize my application.

Let me outline the steps I took to get this working.

• Setup a docker hub account

• Containerizing application with docker

• Installed Kubectl & minikube using Homebrew.

• Configure the Deployment File

• Configure the Service File

• Creating the Secret File.

• Using the Kustomizer

• Testing on Minikube

• CI / CD Pipeline with Github Actions

• Setting up a Kubernetes Cluster

• Load balancer for multiple Nodes

• Pointing Domain name to the load balancer.

• Setting up SSL certificate using cert-manager

• Visiting the Kubernetes Admin.

This tutorial is going to be long if I should write down all the steps.
I will take my time to explain all these steps in parts.

Let's meet on part 2 of this article.

Thank you.
