This project contains the exercises material for the kubernetes workshop by Chaima Mansouri. This will help the audience practice the deployment of a k8s application during the workshop.

Questions store is a web application where a user can write their name and the question they have and all the questions will be stored in a central MangoDB deployed in Atlas cloud.

Questions store is a simple web application that will serve as an exercise for the workshop audience where the user can deploy the application, link it to a database and interact with the UI interface. The user is also able to change the application background and text color.

With that, the user can see the utility of the ConfigMaps, secrets, deployments, Pods, services and Ingress.

The application will also serve as tool for the audience of the workshop to store their questions, so we can have a cleaner, easier and more organized way of handling the Q&A session at the end of the workshop.

The application was already containerized into a docker image and pushed to the docker hub. It is publicly available and could be pulled using the following command:

 docker push chaimamnsr/questions-store:latest

The application is exposed on port 8080 and in order to run it locally using docker, you should set the database environment variables for it to work. See the following example:

 docker run -it -e DB_PASSWORD=<db_password> -e DB_USER=<db_username> -e DB_USER=<db_name> -p 8080:8080 questions-store:latest

Optional: It is possible to add BG_COLOR and TEXT_COLOR to set the background and text color of the application UI.

The questions-store-k8s directory has the kubernetes manifests that will help deploying the application.
