Oodles partnered with a U.S.-based tech entrepreneur building a self-service platform for deploying containerized applications on Kubernetes. The client required end-to-end automation for managing app lifecycles, including secure deployments using Helm charts, Docker containers, and Argo Workflows. The solution demanded seamless integration, security policies, and multi-app orchestration on GKE.

The client sought Oodles to enable non-technical users to deploy containerized apps on Kubernetes without manual intervention. The project involved creating Dockerfiles, Helm charts, Argo workflows, secure service accounts, and configuring ingress controllers. Key AOWs included containerization, CI/CD setup, GKE deployment, and access control automation.

To power this self-service deployment platform, the team orchestrated a robust DevOps pipeline on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). 

Key Features & Implemented Services:

• Custom Dockerfiles: Designed for individual applications, enabling lightweight and portable container builds.
• Helm Chart Creation: Parameterized charts allowed dynamic app configuration during deployment.
• Argo Workflow Integration: Enabled automated, GitOps-style deployments with rollback support.
• Ingress Management: Configured ingress controllers for each app to manage external traffic securely.
• GKE Optimization: Deployed apps in a scalable Kubernetes environment with resource efficiency and autoscaling.
