K8s is the shorthand for Kubernetes. The installation procedure for K8s is rather complex, so that it needs a logic model.


Logic Model (K8s Installation) Template:LogicModel 07 25, 2021
Abstract Specification
Context Migrating roadmaps.mit.edu to Kubernetes-based Personal Knowledge Container PKC. Added more elaboration.


Goal Use Kubernetes as the main deployment and monitoring mechanism for PKC.


Success Criteria Attain a CI/CD Workflow for software and content deployment


Concrete Implementation
Given Inputs When Process is executed... Then, we get Outputs
  1. PKC code base
  2. All installation must start with rigorous access to Administrative Accounts.
  3. The original data content from ROADMAPS.MIT.EDU
  4. Knowledge of Kubernetes and the CleanSlate project
  5. Minimally 3 Virtual Machine instances
  6. Ansible already setup for the administrative machine
  7. Install Kubernetes software on all three following this procedure Kubernetes Installation
  8. Ingress Configuration, combined with some SSH license setup for HTTPS.
  9. Security Groups are configured to enable necessary ports.



  1. A detailed manual procedure to install K8s software and PKC data content.
  2. Incrementally document installation process in PKC, and slowly migrate manual processes into automated processes by Jenkins, Ansible, and Terraform. These actions should be hyperlinked in corresponding PKC pages.


  1. A fully functional PKC, running content from ROADMAPS.MIT.EDU.
  2. Set up a initialization procedure for managing Administrative Accounts for MediaWiki.


Boundary/Safety Conditions of K8s Installation
The above system will be deployed onto AWS and IONOS cloud providers.
