🌟 Fusionpact DevOps Gauntlet: Assessment 2026

---

🎯 MISSION BRIEFING: The Challenge

Welcome to the Fusionpact DevOps Gauntlet! This is your final opportunity to prove your mastery of modern cloud engineering.
Your task is to take this two-tier application stack and transform it into a fault-tolerant, observable, and automated production system in the cloud.

---

💻 Application Stack Overview

Component	Technology	Directory	Key Feature
🖼️ Frontend	HTML / CSS	./frontend/	Internship Landing Page (Requires lightweight serving)
⚡ Backend	Python FastAPI	./backend/	REST API, Data Handling, and Prometheus /metrics endpoint

---

🧪 Challenge Structure

The assignment is divided into 3 levels. Complete all tasks in each level to qualify.

---

🥇 Level 1 – Cloud Deployment (30%)

Objective: Deploy the full stack on a cloud platform of your choice.

Requirements:

• Containerize both frontend and backend using Docker.
• Create a docker-compose.yml to orchestrate the services.
• Ensure data persistence (volume or external database).
• Deploy the application on a public cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Both frontend and backend must be accessible publicly.

Deliverables:

• Dockerfile for frontend and backend
• docker-compose.yml
• Screenshot of the deployed application (Document this in your SOP)

---

🥈 Level 2 – Monitoring & Observability (30%)

Objective: Implement complete observability for the deployed application.

Requirements:

• Set up Prometheus to scrape backend metrics from /metrics.
• Deploy Grafana and create dashboards for:
  • Infrastructure metrics: CPU, memory, disk, container usage.
  • Application metrics: request rate, latency, error counts.
• Dashboards must visualize real-time data from the deployed services. (Document this in your SOP)

Deliverables:

• prometheus.yml configuration file
• Screenshots of Grafana dashboards (Infrastructure + Application) (in SOP)

---

🥉 Level 3 – CI/CD Automation (30%)

Objective: Automate the build and deployment workflow.

Requirements:

• Implement a CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI/CD.
• The pipeline must include:
  • Code checkout
  • Build and test
  • Docker image build and push
  • Automatic deployment to the cloud

Deliverables:

• CI/CD configuration file (Jenkinsfile or .github/workflows/main.yml)

---

📑 Submission Requirements (10%)

Instructions:

• Fork this repository and push your complete solution.
• Provide a SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) — do NOT push the SOP to GitHub.
• Submit the SOP via email.

Submission Checklist:

• ✅ GitHub repository URL
• ✅ SOP PDF (attached in email)
• ✅ Submit the Google Form once the tasks are complete
