Internal Development Platform

The internal development platform I have created is a robust, scalable, and cloud-native solution built on Azure, Terraform, and Kubernetes. This platform is designed to streamline the development, deployment, and management of applications, providing your team with a powerful environment to deliver software efficiently.

Core Components and Architecture:

Azure as the Cloud Foundation:

Azure serves as the underlying cloud infrastructure for your platform, offering a wide range of services such as compute, storage, networking, and databases. Azure’s global presence ensures high availability and low latency for your applications. The platform leverages Azure’s native services like Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure DevOps, and Azure Monitor to provide a seamless cloud experience.

Infrastructure as Code with Terraform:

Terraform is employed to manage and automate the provisioning of infrastructure. By defining the infrastructure as code, you ensure that your environment is consistent, reproducible, and version-controlled. Terraform scripts define and deploy resources such as AKS clusters, virtual networks, and storage accounts. This approach not only reduces manual errors but also enables rapid scaling and adaptation to changing requirements.

Kubernetes for Orchestration:

Kubernetes is at the heart of your platform, orchestrating containerized applications to ensure they run efficiently and reliably. With AKS, you benefit from a managed Kubernetes environment that integrates seamlessly with other Azure services. Kubernetes handles tasks such as load balancing, service discovery, scaling, and self-healing of applications, allowing your team to focus on developing features rather than managing infrastructure.
