Compute Resources
- High Availability Kubernetes Cluster
  - Multi-master setup for fault tolerance.
  - Worker nodes distributed across multiple geographic locations.
  - Custom Horizontal Pod Autoscalers (HPAs) based on various metrics.
  - Cluster Autoscaler for dynamic adjustment of worker nodes.
  - Support for Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) for extended functionality.
  - Fine-grained Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) policies.
  - Strict security policies including PodSecurityPolicies and Network Policies.
  - Advanced ingress controllers with features like header rewriting and SSL termination.
- Virtual Private Server (VPS) such as DigitalOcean Droplet, AWS EC2, GCP Compute Engine, etc.
  - Customizable virtual machines with dedicated resources.
  - Should be running a standard Linux distribution (x86 or ARM) such as Ubuntu or Debian and have Docker installed.
  - Backup and snapshot capabilities for disaster recovery.
- Platform as a Service (PaaS) such as DigitalOcean App Platform, Heroku, etc.
  - Built-in support for scaling applications horizontally.
  - Integrated monitoring and logging tools.
  - Support for multiple Python Django and npm along with container images.
  - Environment variables and configuration management for application settings.
  - Secure by default with options for custom domain and SSL certificates.
Highly Available Postgres Database
- Highly available PostgreSQL cluster with multiple read replicas for scalability and fault tolerance.
- Support for data partitioning and sharding strategies to distribute database load across multiple nodes.
- Support for encrypting data at rest and in transit using key management solutions.
- Automated backup support for data consistency and reliability.
- Automated failover mechanisms to minimize downtime.
- Regular maintenance jobs for optimal performance.
- Monitoring systems to ensure data consistency across replicas.
- Procedures for database version upgrades with minimal downtime.
- Auto-scaling policies for dynamic resource adjustment.
Scalable and Secure Storage Solutions
- Support for highly available and scalable object storage system with S3 API compatibility.
- Support for comprehensive data lifecycle management policies, including versioning, retention, and automatic deletion for effective data management.
- Support for encryption for all stored objects, both at rest and in transit, to maintain data confidentiality.
- Support for granular access controls using bucket policies, IAM roles, and access keys to restrict access to authorized users only.
Network Security and Isolation
- Security groups for external communication.
- Firewall rules for managing network traffic.
- DDoS protection mechanisms to safeguard against distributed denial-of-service attacks.
- Secure VPN service for reliable access to SSH and Kubernetes control planes.
- Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) capabilities for creating isolated network environments.
Dedicated SMTP Server
- Deploy and manage an SMTP server specifically designed to handle email traffic for the domain on which the cloud services are running.
- Ensure proper configuration for email authentication.
- Secure the SMTP server with TLS encryption for data in transit.
- Provide detailed logging and alerting for email traffic and server health.
Build and Deploy Pipelines

Support for implementing image build from the release files.
Support for deploying the images to the Kubernetes cluster Automatically with updated images
Highly available private container registry for storing the images with build pipeline integration.
private git repository for storing infra-template and configuration files.
