How to Run

Deploying Infrastructure and Application

Deployment is automated via GitHub Actions, triggered manually using the workflow_dispatch event.

• note: triggering the Workflow requires adequate access to the repository, however you should see the history of a previous successful run.

1. Go to the GitHub repository.
2. Click on "Actions".
3. Select Deploy GKE Cluster and Podinfo.
4. Click "Run workflow" to start the deployment.

The workflow provisions infrastructure with Terraform and deploys the Podinfo application to Kubernetes.
