Introduction You will create a screen recording video of yourself completing the challenge, then send me a link to the file via Google Drive. A few things to consider: • We ask that you complete this challenge within the timeframe agreed on in our conversation. • You MUST NOT edit your video, stop it and continue later, copy contents from hidden screens, or anything similar that can be considered cheating. The recording must be without stopping and no editing. • You can use screen recording software like Loom, QuickTime, or something similar, to create the video. • The recording should be of the entire coding challenge, from the beginning to end, which is about 1 hour and 30 minutes. • Please upload the video file to Google Drive and share an open link with us (we support .mp4, files smaller/with less than 4gb). • As you complete the challenge, please explain what you are doing. Walk us through your thinking, explain your decisions, etc. Show us your UI work, if applicable. • Here is a short clip from a recent coding challenge, as an example of what your recording should look like: Example video. It is from a React challenge, but it is the same for any challenge. Setup You can clone the challenge repository to your local machine with the following command: git clone FSL DevOps Challenge: Part 1 Continuous integration Set up a new repository and CI pipeline using any code version provider specified below: • Github Actions • Gitlab CI/CD • CircleCI • Azure DevOps The CI steps should be created and triggered for any pull request. The pipeline should run the following steps: • Install dependencies npm install • Linter (ESLint) npm run lint • Formatter (Prettier) npm run prettier • Test (Jest) CI=true npm run test • Build npm run build The pipeline should be successful. Please provide some pull requests to show pass or fail status in the CI pipeline. FSL DevOps Challenge: Part 2 Test the application locally Run the application locally using the Kubernetes platform with docker-desktop, minikube, or any application that creates a local cluster of Kubernetes. The application must be deployed on Kubernetes using manifest files and must follow the requirements below: 1. The service and deployment resources must be hosted in a namespace called production 2. The service resource must listen on port 8080 3. The application should have an env name called MY_SECRET that gets the value from the Kubernetes secrets resource. The value should be password/secret 4. The application must be
