This is the project for the fourth course in the Udacity Full Stack Nanodegree: Server Deployment, Containerization, and Testing.

In this project i did containerize and deploy a Flask API to a Kubernetes cluster using Docker, AWS EKS, CodePipeline, and CodeBuild.

The Flask app that is used for this project consists of a simple API with three endpoints:

• GET '/': This is a simple health check, which returns the response 'Healthy'.
• POST '/auth': This takes a email and password as json arguments and returns a JWT based on a custom secret.
• GET '/contents': This requires a valid JWT, and returns the un-encrpyted contents of that token.

The app relies on a secret set as the environment variable JWT_SECRET to produce a JWT.

Clone the project

1. Write a Dockerfile for a simple Flask API
2. Build and test the container locally
3. Create an EKS cluster
4. Store a secret using AWS Parameter Store
5. Create a CodePipeline pipeline triggered by GitHub checkins
6. Create a CodeBuild stage which will build, test, and deploy your code
