Deploying Digital FTE's in the Cloud

Module 7 takes the agent you built in Module 6 and turns it into a production cloud service. You'll containerize the stack, orchestrate it on Kubernetes, automate delivery, and operate it with observability, security, and cost controls. The goal: a reliable Digital FTE that runs 24/7 for real users.

Prerequisites: Modules 4-6. You need a working agent service to deploy.


Goals

By completing Module 7, you will:

Focus AreaObjective
ContainerizationContainerize agent services with production Dockerfiles and image optimization
OrchestrationOrchestrate at scale using Kubernetes deployments, services, and Helm charts
Event-DrivenAdopt event-driven patterns through Kafka-based messaging
Dapr & WorkflowsLeverage Dapr for service invocation, state, pub/sub, and workflows
AutomationAutomate delivery with CI/CD pipelines and GitOps via ArgoCD
OperationsOperate with excellence through observability, security, and cost management

Sub-module Progression

Seven key stages build your production deployment infrastructure:

Sub-moduleTitleChapter(s)StageDetails
1Docker for AI Services1-9ContainerizationFoundations, optimization, and production Dockerfiles
2Kubernetes for AI Services1-23OrchestrationDeployments, Services, ConfigMaps, and Scaling
3Helm for AI Services1-12TemplatingBuilding reusable blueprints and library charts
4Kafka for AI Services1-22Nervous SystemEvent-driven architecture and asynchronous streams
5Dapr CoreTBDSidecar PatternsAbstraction for state, pub/sub, and bindings
6Automation & CI/CDTBDGitOpsGitHub Actions and ArgoCD for repeatable releases
7Operations ExcellenceTBDCloud GovernanceMonitoring, Security, and Enterprise Architecture

Why this order? Containers provide the package; Kubernetes provides the ship; Helm provides the blueprint; Kafka provides the nervous system; Automation provides the speed; and Operations provide the reliability.


Outcome & Method

You finish with a sellable Digital FTE: containerized, deployed to Kubernetes, scalable, observable, secure, and cost-aware. The same spec-driven approach continues—write infrastructure specs, let AI draft manifests/pipelines, and validate against requirements.
