Project Overview

In this project, I applied the skills and knowledge which was developed throughout the Cloud DevOps Nanodegree program. These include:

• Working in AWS
• Using Jenkins to implement Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment
• Building pipelines
• Working with Ansible and CloudFormation to deploy clusters
• Building Kubernetes clusters
• Building Docker containers in pipelines

---

I developed a CI/CD pipeline for microservices applications with rolling deployment. I developed Continuous Integration steps, such as typographical checking (aka “linting”). I also developed Contiguous Deployment steps. These includes:

• Pushing the built Docker containers to the Docker repository
• Deploying these Docker containers to a small Kubernetes cluster. For Kubernetes cluster I used AWS EKS. To deploy my Kubernetes cluster using Cloudformation. I ran these from Jenkins as an independent pipeline.

---

Environment Setup

• Create a Makefile
• Create a Dockerfile
• Create a Jenkinsfile including all the necessary steps
• Create CloudFormation Script using create-stack.sh command
• Install Jenkins and all the necessary plugins in the EC2 Instance

Linting App

• Run make lint to lint the app locally

Running App

• Run Docker: ./run_docker.sh
• Run Kubernetes: ./run_kubernetes.sh

Uploading to the Docker Hub

• Run ./upload_docker.sh to upload the api to the Docker Hub

Deploying App to AWS

	
  		aws eks --region ap-south-1 update-kubeconfig --name EKS-Name
  		kubectl apply -f aws/aws-auth-cm.yaml
  		kubectl apply -f deployment/deployment.yml
  		kubectl get nodes
  		kubectl get pods -o wide
	

Cleaning App

• Run docker system prune to clean up
