Assignment

The week 6 assignment focuses on setting up a Proof of Concept based on a Cloud reference architecture, specifically the microservices section.

Learning objectives:

  • How to migrate a monolithic application to microservices
  • How to connect microservices via API Gateways (REST/HTTP/WebSockets)
  • What are microservices design patterns? (The Twelve-Factor App)

6.1 Microservices on GKE

Architecture: App users via Load Balancer and API Gateway to microservices on Kubernetes

  1. Complete the lab Migrating a Monolithic Website to Microservices on Google Kubernetes Engine and submit proof of completion as part of your portfolio. If you do not fully complete the lab, show screenshots of the phases you did complete.

  2. Explain how you can add an API Gateway to the solution you built in the microservices lab. Study and practise with Secure traffic to a service with Google Cloud Console.
