Microservice Project [Udacity Cloud DevOps Engineer Nanodegree]

Project Overview

Deploy a containerized Python flask application to serve out predictions (inference) about housing prices through API calls. It uses a a pre-trained, sklearn model that has been trained to predict housing prices in Boston according to several features.

Project Procedure

• Test project code using linting
• Complete a Dockerfile to containerize this application
• Deploy containerized application using Docker and make a prediction
• Configure Kubernetes and create a Kubernetes cluster
• Deploy a container using Kubernetes and make a prediction
• Upload a complete Github repo with CircleCI to indicate the code has been tested
