This project demonstrates a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for deploying a sample web application using Jenkins, Docker, and Ansible. The pipeline ensures that code changes are automatically tested, built, and deployed to a cloud environment, streamlining the deployment process and improving efficiency.
The primary goal of this project is to automate the deployment process of a sample application by setting up a CI/CD pipeline. This pipeline covers everything from code integration, testing, and containerization to deployment and cloud setup.
Jenkins: Manages pipeline stages for continuous integration and automation. Docker: Containerizes the application and manages its deployment. Ansible: Automates configuration and deployment steps. GitHub: Source control management for the application code. Cloud Environment (Optional): AWS is used to host the final application. Application This project utilizes a pet clinic application as the deployment sample. The project source code is stored in a GitHub repository, where Jenkins detects changes and initiates the pipeline.
Code Build (Continuous Integration):
1-Jenkins is triggered upon new commits.
2-Jenkins pulls the latest code from the repository, builds a Docker image, and runs unit tests.
3-Push to Docker Registry:
The Docker image is pushed to Docker Hub or a private registry for deployment. Automated Deployment (Continuous Delivery):
4-Ansible playbooks are utilized to deploy the Docker image to a cloud server, where the application is configured and launched. Optional Kubernetes Integration:
Functional Jenkins and Docker setup.
Jenkins jobs for building, testing, and containerizing the application.
Ansible playbooks for deployment automation.
Comprehensive documentation of the CI/CD pipeline.
