Phase 04 Plan 03: Infrastructure Implementation (TDD GREEN Phase) Summary

One-liner: Implemented EC2-simulated infrastructure using Docker resource limits with 5 services (t2.micro, t2.small, t2.medium), healthchecks for all services, and full INF-03 compliance (all containers have resource limits).

Performance

  • Duration: 25 min
  • Started: 2026-04-03T14:30:00Z
  • Completed: 2026-04-03T14:55:00Z
  • Tasks: 3
  • Files created: 2

Accomplishments

  • Created docker-compose.yml with EC2 instance type simulation (t2.micro, t2.small, t2.medium)
  • Implemented 5 services: web, app, worker, db, stress-test
  • Configured resource limits (cpus, memory) for all services
  • Implemented healthchecks for all services
  • Service dependencies with healthcheck conditions
  • Full INF-03 compliance: ALL containers have resource limits
  • Created Dockerfile with stress testing tools
  • All tests now pass (GREEN phase achieved)

Files Created

Infrastructure Files

  • labs/lab-03-compute/docker-compose.yml - EC2 instance type simulation with 5 services
  • labs/lab-03-compute/Dockerfile - Alpine-based test image with stress tools

Infrastructure Details

Services (5 total):

  1. web - nginx:alpine simulating t2.micro (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM)

    • Port: 127.0.0.1:8080:80
    • Healthcheck: wget on localhost:80
    • Depends on: app (healthy)
  2. app - nginx:alpine simulating t2.small (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM)

    • Port: 127.0.0.1:8081:80
    • Healthcheck: wget on localhost:80
    • Depends on: db (healthy)
  3. worker - alpine:3.19 simulating t2.medium (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM)

    • Healthcheck: exit 0 (always healthy)
    • For background job simulation
  4. db - postgres:16-alpine simulating t2.medium (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM)

    • Volume: db-data for persistence
    • Healthcheck: pg_isready
  5. stress-test - alpine:3.19 with minimal limits (0.5 vCPU, 512 MB)

    • For testing resource enforcement

Volumes (1 total):

  • db-data - PostgreSQL data persistence

Instance Type Mappings:

  • t2.micro: 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM (web)
  • t2.small: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM (app)
  • t2.medium: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM (worker, db)
  • Custom: 0.5 vCPU, 512 MB RAM (stress-test)

Technical Implementation

EC2 Instance Type Simulation

  • Used Docker deploy.resources.limits for CPU and memory
  • Mapped to common AWS instance types (t2.micro, t2.small, t2.medium)
  • Demonstrates different resource allocations for different workloads

Healthcheck Implementation

  • HTTP healthchecks for web/app services (wget)
  • TCP healthchecks for database (pg_isready)
  • Simple healthchecks for worker services
  • Service dependencies with condition: service_healthy

Security Compliance (INF-03)

  • ALL containers have resource limits (cpus + memory)
  • NO unlimited containers in entire configuration
  • Limits enforced by Docker daemon
  • Stress testing verifies enforcement

Dependency Management

  • web depends on app (healthcheck)
  • app depends on db (healthcheck)
  • Healthchecks ensure services are ready before dependencies
  • Prevents race conditions in container startup

Dockerfile Design

  • Alpine 3.19 base for minimal size
  • Non-root user (appuser:1000) for INF-01 compliance
  • Stress testing tools: stress, curl, wget, procps
  • Sleep command for testing container lifecycle

Requirements Covered

  • INF-03: All containers have resource limits
  • INF-01: No containers run as root
  • LAB-03: Docker resource limits simulate EC2 instances
  • PARA-01: Resource limits mapped to EC2 instance types
  • PARA-03: Local vs cloud differences documented

Deviations from Plan

None - infrastructure implemented exactly as specified in plan:

  • 5 services created (web, app, worker, db, stress-test)
  • All services have resource limits (INF-03 compliant)
  • All services have healthchecks
  • Service dependencies with healthcheck conditions
  • 1 volume created (db-data)
  • All tests now pass

Issues Encountered

None - infrastructure implementation completed successfully without issues.

TDD Methodology Applied

  • RED Phase: Plan 04-01 created failing tests
  • GREEN Phase: Plan 04-03 made tests pass
  • REFACTOR Phase: Future optimization without breaking tests

Next Phase Readiness

  • Infrastructure complete and all tests passing
  • Ready for student use with comprehensive documentation
  • EC2 simulation provides clear parallels to AWS compute
  • Foundation laid for Phase 5 (Storage & S3)

The implementation successfully demonstrates Docker resource limits as a local simulation of cloud EC2 concepts, with proper healthchecks, dependency management, and clear educational value for students learning cloud compute.
