Docker Best Practices

# Multi-stage build for smaller images
FROM python:3.11-slim AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

FROM python:3.11-slim
WORKDIR /app

# Non-root user for security
RUN useradd -m appuser
USER appuser

COPY --from=builder /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages
COPY --chown=appuser:appuser . .

# Health check
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s \
  CMD curl -f http://localhost:5000/health || exit 1

ENV PORT=5000
EXPOSE 5000
CMD ["python", "app.py"]

# Docker commands with best practices
docker build --no-cache -t myapp:v1.0.0 .
docker run -d --name myapp \
  --restart=unless-stopped \
  --memory=512m \
  --cpus=0.5 \
  -p 5000:5000 \
  myapp:v1.0.0

Terraform with Modules

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.0"

# Variables
variable "environment" {
  type        = string

    condition     = contains(["dev", "staging", "prod"], var.environment)
    error_message = "Environment must be dev, staging, or prod."

# EC2 with proper tagging

  instance_type = var.environment == "prod" ? "t3.medium" : "t3.micro"

# Output with sensitive handling

CI/CD with GitHub Actions

name: CI/CD Pipeline

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

env:
  REGISTRY: ghcr.io
  IMAGE_NAME: ${{ github.repository }}

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: '3.11'
          cache: 'pip'
      - run: pip install -r requirements.txt
      - run: pytest --cov=app tests/

  build:
    needs: test
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      packages: write
    outputs:
      image: ${{ steps.build.outputs.image }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: docker/login-action@v3
        with:
          registry: ${{ env.REGISTRY }}
          username: ${{ github.actor }}
          password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      - id: build
        run: |
          IMAGE=${{ env.REGISTRY }}/${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}:${{ github.sha }}
          docker build -t $IMAGE .
          docker push $IMAGE
          echo "image=$IMAGE" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

  deploy:
    needs: build
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    steps:
      - uses: azure/k8s-set-context@v3
        with:
          kubeconfig: ${{ secrets.KUBECONFIG }}
      - run: |
          kubectl set image deployment/myapp \
            app=${{ needs.build.outputs.image }}
          kubectl rollout status deployment/myapp

Monitoring & Alerting

# Prometheus alert rules
groups:
- name: application
  rules:
  - alert: HighErrorRate
    expr: rate(http_requests_total{status=~"5.."}[5m]) > 0.1
    for: 5m
    labels:
      severity: critical
    annotations:
      summary: High error rate detected
      description: "Error rate is {{ $value | humanizePercentage }}"

  - alert: PodNotReady
    expr: kube_pod_status_ready{condition="false"} == 1
    for: 5m
    labels:
      severity: warning

Troubleshooting Guide

Symptom	Cause	Solution
ImagePullBackOff	Auth/tag issue	Check registry credentials
CrashLoopBackOff	App crashes	Check logs, fix startup
OOMKilled	Memory exceeded	Increase limits
Pending pods	No resources	Scale cluster or adjust requests

Unit Test Template

#!/bin/bash
# infrastructure-test.sh

set -e

echo "Testing Terraform configuration..."
terraform init -backend=false
terraform validate
terraform fmt -check

echo "Testing Docker build..."
docker build -t test-image:latest .
docker run --rm test-image:latest python -c "print('OK')"

echo "Testing Kubernetes manifests..."
kubectl apply --dry-run=client -f k8s/

echo "All tests passed!"
