I have been a Microsoft Certified Trainer since 2022. I help the community achieve certification and to get started with Cloud, especially Azure.
I deployed an Apache HTTPD application on AWS EKS using Kubernetes, entirely via AWS CloudShell, and exposed it publicly using a Service of type LoadBalancer.
🔹 What I implemented
Kubernetes Deployment with 2 replicas
Apache HTTPD container (httpd:trixie)
LoadBalancer Service that auto-provisioned an AWS ELB
Verified pod availability and external access via ELB DNS
🔹 GitHub workflow followed
Created a new feature branch from main
Added/updated Kubernetes manifests (deployment.yaml, service.yaml)
Updated documentation
Pushed changes and merged back to main

This pro](https://lnkd.in/g79FnWdR)ject helped reinforce core Kubernetes & EKS concepts:
• Deployments & replica management
• Label-based service discovery
• How EKS integrates with AWS networking (ELB)
• Clean Git branching & version control practices
📌 Next steps: Ingress with ALB, HPA, HTTPS, and CI/CD integration.
Always learning by building 🚀
