Experience

  • AWS Terraform EKS CI/CD Demo
    https://github.com/ryanmcmichael/terraform-eks-cicd-demo

    As most of my client work remains under NDA, I've put together a simple demonstration of a generalized infrastructure-as-code implementation of a secure, scalable, and resilient containerized three-tier web app. This one uses GitHub Actions to build the code and continuously deploy it to an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) cluster. The system has an Amazon RDS Multi-AZ back end. Logging and metrics are ingested and displayed via CloudWatch.

  • Google Cloud Terraformed GKE Cluster
    https://github.com/ryanmcmichael/terraform-gcp-gke-demo

    This demo presents a working GKE Kubernetes cluster on the Google Cloud Platform, defined by Terraform. It also includes all the necessary networking components and some demo functions interacting with Kubernetes services.

  • Azure Terraformed VNET and Functions
    https://github.com/ryanmcmichael/azure-terraform-demo

    This repository shows an example of using Terraform to create a secure VNET in Azure. It also creates some Azure functions (code redacted) and all necessary networking infrastructure for intra-VPN communication.
