Deployment Highlights

A sample application deployment in the lab demonstrates how infrastructure pieces work together as a complete flow.

Example deployment pattern

• Node.js application
• MySQL database
• StatefulSet-based deployment
• NFS-backed persistent storage
• ConfigMaps and Secrets for configuration
• Ingress-based browser access
• MetalLB for LAN-reachable IP exposure

What this demonstrates

• containerized application deployment
• persistent storage handling in Kubernetes
• external access through Ingress and MetalLB
• practical use of configuration objects
• realistic local testing of a multi-component deployment
