  • Advanced Networking: Cilium CNI for networking and MetalLB for LoadBalancer services.
  • Monitoring Stack: Prometheus for metrics, Grafana for visualization, and AlertManager for notifications.
  • Data Services: Includes PostgreSQL, Redis, and RabbitMQ for stateful applications.
  • Scripted Deployment: A series of shell scripts to automate the entire setup process.
