| -This repository demonstrates a [**Kubernetes**](https://kubernetes.io/) cluster managed with [**MicroK8s**](https://microk8s.io/), integrating a [**Rust**](https://www.rust-lang.org/) application that interacts with the Kubernetes API using [**Tokio**](https://tokio.rs/) and the [**kube**](https://kube.rs/) crate. It features modern networking with the [Gateway API](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/), TLS certificate management via [**cert-manager**](https://cert-manager.io/), and AI capabilities using [**LocalAI**](https://localai.io/). This project is suitable for development and testing purposes, leveraging MicroK8s for a lightweight and efficient Kubernetes environment. |

| -**This application uses a `selfsigned-issuer` for TLS certificates, which is suitable for development but NOT recommended for production.** The self-signed certificates provided by cert-manager are ideal for testing environments; however, they lack the security guarantees required for production use. This repository is NOT intended for production deployments and should not be used as such. |
| 7 | +These local Kubernetes deployments use TLS certificates created by a `selfsigned-issuer`, which are suitable for testing only and NOT intended for production use cases. A transition to a production-grade setup would require using [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) or another trusted certificate authority. |

24 |
| -This repository provides a lightweight platform for exploring Kubernetes features like Gateway API, cert-manager, and LocalAI in a local development environment. Extend the Rust application or experiment with Kubernetes networking and AI capabilities to suit your needs. |
| 13 | +- **Gateway API**: Next-generation service networking with HTTPRoute for granular traffic control and TLS. |
| 14 | +- **Cert-Manager**: Automates TLS certificate issuance using a `selfsigned-issuer` for development environments. |
| 15 | +- **Rust Application**: A minimal implementation demonstrating [Kubernetes API](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/) interaction by listing Pods across all namespaces with their statuses, serving as a foundation for building advanced cluster operations such as pod management, resource monitoring, CRD handling, event watching, and multi-cluster management. |
| 16 | +- **LocalAI**: Self-hosted AI capabilities with persistent storage for models, offering potential for privacy-focused, scalable, and cost-efficient AI model deployment. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## Direction |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +This project showcases an educational and experimental setup, offering a starting point for advanced use cases. Here are some possibilities: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +- **Production-Grade TLS Certificates**: Transition to production-ready deployments by integrating trusted certificate authorities like Let's Encrypt or custom enterprise CAs for secure and scalable HTTPS traffic management. |
| 23 | +- **Dynamic Cluster Management**: Automate scaling, monitoring, and resource optimization across multiple clusters. |
| 24 | +- **Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs)**: Implement and manage custom Kubernetes resources tailored to specific application requirements. |
| 25 | +- **Event-Driven Automation**: Extend the Rust app to respond to Kubernetes events or webhooks for real-time cluster adjustments. |
| 26 | +- **AI Workload Orchestration**: Use LocalAI to manage and deploy advanced AI models for edge computing, predictive analytics, or machine learning tasks. |
| 27 | +- **Security Enhancements**: Integrate advanced authentication mechanisms and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) policies for secure multi-user environments. |
| 28 | +- **Multi-Tenancy Support**: Enable resource isolation and quota management for multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters. |
| 29 | +- **Advanced Networking**: Leverage Gateway API features for traffic splitting, failover mechanisms, and routing policies based on performance metrics. |
| 30 | +- **Hybrid Cloud Deployments**: Adapt the setup for hybrid or multi-cloud Kubernetes deployments. |
| 31 | +- **Natural Language Processing (NLP)**: Implement AI-powered features such as text summarization, sentiment analysis, or chatbot functionality for applications requiring language understanding. |
| 32 | +- **Image and Video Processing**: Use AI models to enable facial recognition, object detection, image classification, or video analytics for multimedia applications. |
| 33 | +- **Predictive Analytics**: Leverage AI for forecasting trends, optimizing business operations, or detecting anomalies in datasets for finance, healthcare, or logistics. |
| 34 | +- **Custom AI Model Training**: Train and fine-tune models for domain-specific use cases, such as personalized recommendations, scientific research, or custom automation workflows. |
