Provision a production-like multi-node Kubernetes cluster locally using Vagrant and VirtualBox. Automate the entire node setup and cluster bootstrap with Ansible — no manual steps.

Configure real load balancing and ingress routing inside the local cluster. Map services to local domains so everything is accessible via browser — just like a real environment.

Deploy a real-world microservices application using GitOps principles. ArgoCD continuously syncs the cluster state with the GitHub repository — any push, any change, auto-deployed.

Deploy a full observability stack with Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager. Build dashboards, write custom alerting rules, and route real-time notifications to Slack.
