# Local Cloud Infrastructure Practice
This project helps to understand cloud infrastructure concepts by simulating a cloud environment.
#### Think of the setup as a neighborhood where everything works together to keep the community running smoothly, safely, and efficiently—just like a real cloud network, but all local.
---
```bash
./run_minio_pipeline.sh
```
This script will:
- Start and configure the MinIO Docker container
- Setup MinIO client alias and generate local CA certificates
- Create bucket and attach security policies
- Create users and service accounts with read/write policies
- Rotate access keys in batch
- Encrypt and upload a test file to MinIO storage

## The Neighborhood (Virtual Cloud Network - VCN)
The **Virtual Cloud Network (VCN)** is the entire neighborhood—a safe, private area where all the houses (servers and services) live and talk to each other.
---
## Streets (Subnets)
The neighborhood has different **streets** called subnets. Some are public where visitors can come freely, while others are private and hidden from outsiders.
---
## Houses (Servers and Backend Sets)
- **Web Server House:**
Shows visitors websites or applications.
- **Backend Server Houses:**
Handle the work behind the scenes and process requests.
- **Backend Set:**
A group of houses working together for specific jobs, like running events or chores collectively.
---
## Gates and Doors (Gateways)
- **Main Gate (Internet Gateway):**
The big gate where visitors arrive from the outside internet.
- **Back Gate (NAT Gateway):**
A secret door letting private houses send mail outside but stays hidden from strangers.
- **Magic Door (Service Gateway):**
Special door connecting only to trusted services within the neighborhood.
---
## Guards and Maps
- **Guards (Security Lists):**
Gatekeepers letting only trusted visitors into streets and houses.
- **Neighborhood Map (Route Table):**
Guides visitors and mail to the right destinations.
---
## Traffic Helpers
- **Traffic Cop (Load Balancer):**
Directs visitors evenly to different houses to avoid overcrowding.
- **Reception Desk (Listener):**
Welcomes visitors and tells the traffic cop what they want.
---
## Deliveries and Addresses
- **Address Book (CIDR Block):**
Lists house numbers so mail (data) knows where to go.
- **Mail Carrier (DHCP Options):**
Gives each house its address and mail directions.
---
## Safety and Access
- **House Inspector (Health Check):**
Ensures each house is open and ready for visitors.
- **Magical Keys (SSH Keys):**
Special keys to securely access and fix houses.
---
- **Secret Tunnel (Site-to-Site VPN):**
Connects your neighborhood to another safe neighborhood for private visits.
- **Traffic Cop Station Size (Shape):**
Determines how many visitors the traffic cop can manage simultaneously.
