Step 1:Propose and Scope the Project
- Pipeline steps 1- Build the latest code into a docker image and upload it docker hub. 2- Install dependencies and prepare enviroment. 3- Create a deployment for the app and expose it.
- Circle CI will be used for CICD
- Will rely on blue/green deployment
- For the Docker application you can either use an application which you come up with. (My personal portfolio)
Step 2: Use Circle CI, and implement blue/green deployment
- If you're using Circle CI, set up your circle CI account and connect your git repository. (Done)
- Set up your environment to which you will deploy code. (Done)
Step 3: Build your own Kubernetes cluster
- Ansible and cloudformation are used in deployment. (Done)
- A new EC2 and infrastructure is created and a kubernetes cluster is configured on the EC2. (Done)
Step 4: Build your pipeline
- Construct your pipeline in your GitHub repository. (Done)
- Set up all the steps that your pipeline will include. (Done)
- Configure a deployment pipeline. (Done)
- Include your Dockerfile/source code in the Git repository.(Done)
- Docker Lint and screenshot attached in a folder called screenshots. (Done)
Step 5: Test your pipeline
- Perform builds on your pipeline. (Done)
- Verify that your pipeline works as you designed it. (Done), You can check the circleci passed badge at the begining of the README file. -Take a screenshot of the Circle CI showing deployment (Done), and a screenshot of your AWS EC2 page showing the newly created (for blue/green) instances. Make sure you name your instances differently between blue and green deployments. (Done)
============
How the Cluster is deployed:
- I've used an EC2 AMI from the marketplace (Kubernetes by bitnami).
- I've create a deployment using a yaml file (You can find it in files under .circleci web-deplyment.yaml).
- Then, I created a service and exposed the deployment to port 31234 to be accessible from the internet.
- these configuration has been pushed by ansible and the creation of the EC2 and associated resourced are automatically deployed using CloudFormation.
- I've created a docker image from nginx and hosted my portfolio in it.
