Abstract

Cluster Dev is an open-source Blockchain & Cloud Computing project. Cloud-native infrastructure templating. Creating cloud installers for SaaS. Replication of complex cloud-native infrastructures. Cluster.dev is an open-source tool designed to manage cloud native infrastructures with simple declarative manifests - infrastructure templates. The infrastructure templates could be based on Terraform modules, Kubernetes manifests, Shell scripts, Helm charts, Kustomize and ArgoCD/Flux applications, OPA policies etc. It is built using Go, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0, making it a useful reference for students building a Blockchain & Cloud Computing mini project or final-year project.

1. Introduction

Cluster.dev is an open-source tool designed to manage cloud native infrastructures with simple declarative manifests - infrastructure templates. The infrastructure templates could be based on Terraform modules, Kubernetes manifests, Shell scripts, Helm charts, Kustomize and ArgoCD/Flux applications, OPA policies etc. Cluster.dev sticks those components together so that you could deploy, test and distribute a whole set of components with pinned versions.

Like a bunch of TF-modules, or a set of K8s addons. So you need to re-use this pattern inside your projects.

2. Objective

Cloud-native infrastructure templating. Creating cloud installers for SaaS. Replication of complex cloud-native infrastructures.

This project demonstrates how Go, Kubernetes, Terraform can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.

4. Technology Stack

GoKubernetesTerraformAWS

5. System Requirements

General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.

  • Go 1.20 or later
  • Git (to clone the repository)

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/shalb/cluster.dev.git
cd cluster.dev

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

  • Add a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
  • Deploy to a public test network or cloud free tier
  • Add monitoring and cost alerts

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

  1. Why does this problem need a blockchain or cloud-native design?
  2. Explain the smart contract / infrastructure components and how they interact.
  3. How are gas costs or cloud costs kept under control?
  4. How is the system secured (keys, IAM, access control)?
  5. How would the solution scale to many more users?
