LFX mentorship (2025/term1): Implement an WDS backend to support UI frontend operations

[clubanderson]

Project: WDS Backend

Title: Expand WDS Backend Capabilities

Description:
The Workload Description Space (WDS) backend is responsible for handling workload deployments across clusters. Enhancements aim to provide better workload management, logging, and validation. Another responsibility will be the DevOps and CICD workflows associated with the entire KubeStellar UI project.

Key improvements include:

• Implementing workload deployment and tracking features.
• Ensuring compatibility with multiple Kubernetes environments.
• Improving logging and monitoring of workload status and sub-objects created by workloads.
• Enhancing API endpoints for better control and observability.
• CICD workflows that help test and validate PRs so they can be merged with confidence
• Dynamically creating demonstration environments that can be used to show potential users and at conferences

Expected Outcome:

• A feature-rich WDS backend with workload deployment support.
• CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and integration.
• Documentation covering API usage and best practices.
• Reliable CICD workflows to support high productivity from other contributors

Recommended Skills:

• Go
• Github Actions
• Oracle Cloud
• Kubernetes API
• Logging & Monitoring
• CI/CD Pipelines
