Kubernetes has become the de-facto infrastructure layer, and everyone is now building applications to run on this ever-exploding platform. As operations and SRE individual, I always stayed away from building complicated applications. While there are numerous off-the-shelf solutions to manage these complicated platforms, I still find myself automating tasks to meet my unique environmental or organizational requirements. This article will discuss my experience building from the ground up a simple application running on Kubernetes that I had to deploy for my organization. While this solution may be specific to my SRE requirements, the hope is that an inexperienced reader can learn from this and quickly deploy a simple application to meet their SRE needs within their Kubernetes platform.
