Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure

This project sets up a decentralized cloud infrastructure using Terraform, combining multiple decentralized technologies including Akash Network, IPFS, and Filecoin with monitoring capabilities. I have elevated the docker and virtualation to mock the implementation.

Prerequisites

• Terraform (v1.0.0 or later)
• Docker (latest stable version)
• Docker Compose (latest stable version)
• kubectl (for Akash network interaction)

Components

1. Akash Network Node: A decentralized cloud computing marketplace
2. IPFS Node: InterPlanetary File System for decentralized storage
3. Filecoin Node (Optional): Additional decentralized storage backup
4. Monitoring Stack: Prometheus and Grafana for system monitoring

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd decentralized-cloud

2. Initialize Terraform

   cd terraform
   terraform init

3. Review and Modify Configuration

   • Review the configuration in terraform/main.tf
   • Modify any variables or settings as needed
   • The default configuration uses Docker provider for local development

4. Apply the Infrastructure

   terraform apply

   This will create:

   • Akash network node
   • IPFS node
   • Filecoin node (if enabled)
   • Monitoring stack (Prometheus + Grafana)

5. Access the Services After successful deployment, you can access:

   • Prometheus: URL will be shown in the output
   • Grafana: URL will be shown in the output
   • IPFS: Access through the container ID shown in the output
   • Akash: Access through the container ID shown in the output

Monitoring

The monitoring stack includes:

• Prometheus for metrics collection
• Grafana for visualization
• Default dashboards for monitoring:
  • System metrics
  • Container metrics
  • Network metrics

Cleanup

To destroy all created resources:

terraform destroy
