BareMetal Kubernetes Cluster with HA.

The "BareMetal Kubernetes Cluster with High Availability" project aims to design, implement, and document a robust and fault-tolerant Kubernetes cluster on bare-metal hardware. The project's focus is on ensuring continuous availability of services and applications hosted on the cluster by deploying multiple master nodes, load balancing, and implementing failover mechanisms for critical components.

1. High Availability Design:** Architect a highly available Kubernetes cluster infrastructure that minimizes single points of failure and provides uninterrupted service availability.

2. Cluster Setup:** Set up multiple master nodes to manage cluster operations and multiple worker nodes to run containerized applications.

3. Load Balancing:** Implement a load balancer to distribute incoming traffic across the master nodes and ensure consistent access to the Kubernetes API server.

4. etcd Cluster Configuration:** Configure an `etcd` cluster with an odd number of instances for storing the cluster's configuration and state data. Implement regular backups and recovery procedures.

5. Network Configuration:** Choose and configure a suitable network plugin (e.g., Calico or Flannel) to enable communication between pods across nodes while maintaining isolation.

6. Highly Available Add-ons:** Set up key components such as kube-proxy, CoreDNS, and Kubernetes dashboard in a highly available manner to ensure optimal cluster performance.

7. Monitoring and Logging:** Deploy monitoring and logging tools like Prometheus and Grafana to monitor the cluster's health and diagnose issues promptly.

Upon completion of the project, there will be a well-documented and functional bare-metal Kubernetes cluster with high availability. The project's deliverables will include architecture diagrams, setup guides, backup and recovery procedures, monitoring dashboards, and a presentation that highlights the project's objectives, achievements, and lessons learned.
