IP Address Plan for Year 3 (continued):

Google Cloud (cont'd):

Prod: 192.168.3.x range (e.g., 192.168.3.0/24 for AI/ML models).

Dev: 192.168.4.x range (e.g., 192.168.4.0/24 for orchestration and development environments).

This IP address scheme ensures there are no conflicts between different cloud environments and keeps each service isolated within its range.


Milestone 5: Implement Multi-Cloud Failover and High Availability

Objective: Design and implement a highly available (HA) architecture with multi-cloud failover strategies to ensure application uptime and fault tolerance.

Tools:

AWS Route 53 (for DNS-based failover)

Google Cloud Load Balancing

Azure Traffic Manager

Action Plan:

DNS-Based Failover:

Use AWS Route 53 to set up DNS-based failover routing policies, ensuring traffic automatically switches between AWS, GCP, and Azure in case of failures.

Global Load Balancing:

Implement global load balancing across multiple clouds using Google Cloud Load Balancing and Azure Traffic Manager.

Health Checks:

Configure health checks to monitor the availability of services on each cloud provider, ensuring automatic failover if an instance or service becomes unavailable.

Replicate Data Across Clouds:

Use AWS S3 Cross-Region Replication, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Replication to ensure your data is replicated and available in case of a regional failure.

Example Setup:

Route 53 Failover Configuration:

  • name: MyAppFailover type: "failover" primary: region: AWS service: EC2 secondary: region: GCP service: GCE

Outcome: Your application is now highly available with automatic failover and load balancing across AWS, GCP, and Azure, ensuring uptime even in the event of outages.


Milestone 6: Implement Advanced CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Jenkins

Objective: Scale up your CI/CD pipelines by integrating Jenkins with GitHub Actions for more complex workflows, ensuring continuous testing and deployment across multiple clouds.

Tools:

GitHub Actions (for pipeline automation)

Jenkins (for complex multi-stage workflows)

Terraform (for infrastructure provisioning)

Action Plan:

Jenkins Setup:

Set up a Jenkins server and integrate it with your GitHub repository for advanced CI/CD workflows.

GitHub Actions + Jenkins:

Use GitHub Actions for lightweight jobs (e.g., testing, linting) and Jenkins for more complex, multi-stage deployment pipelines.

Example Multi-Stage Jenkins Pipeline:

pipeline { agent any stages { stage('Build') { steps { sh 'npm install' } } stage('Test') { steps { sh 'npm test' } } stage('Deploy to AWS') { steps { sh 'terraform apply -target=aws_instance.my_instance' } } stage('Deploy to GCP') { steps { sh 'gcloud compute instances create my-instance' } } } }

Outcome: By using both GitHub Actions and Jenkins, you have a scalable CI/CD pipeline that can deploy to multiple clouds simultaneously, ensuring continuous delivery across complex workflows.

Summary for Year 3:

Automate Everything: Fully automate multi-cloud infrastructure with Terraform and orchestrate using Ansible.

Advanced CI/CD: Use both GitHub Actions and Jenkins for multi-stage deployment pipelines across cloud providers.

Optimize Costs: Implement cost management tools to prevent overspending and stay within free-tier limits.

Multi-Cloud Failover: Design and implement a failover strategy with DNS-based routing and load balancing across AWS, GCP, and Azure.

Leverage AI/ML: Build and deploy AI-powered applications using cloud-native machine learning services like AWS SageMaker, Google AI Platform, and Azure Cognitive Services.

Year 3 sets you up with highly automated, scalable, and cost-optimized infrastructure, preparing for the next step of mastering advanced cloud architectures in Year 4.
