DevOps – CI/CD Pipeline – 3-Tier Web Application

Project Overview
The project implements a complete CI/CD pipeline starting from code commits in GitHub to production deployment in Kubernetes clusters. It ensures automation, reliability, and security throughout the software delivery lifecycle.
Architecture
- GitHub – Version control and code repository.
- Jenkins – Orchestrates builds, tests, and deployment stages.
- Docker – Packages applications into portable containers.
- Kubernetes – Runs and scales containerized workloads.
- Monitoring – Logs and metrics with Prometheus & Grafana.
Pipeline Flow
- Developer pushes code changes to GitHub.
- Jenkins triggers automatically using webhooks.
- Build stage runs unit tests, security scans (Trivy, SonarQube).
- Docker image is built and pushed to DockerHub.
- Deployment manifests are applied to Kubernetes.
- Monitoring and alerting configured for proactive incident response.
Key Outcomes
- Reduced deployment time from hours to minutes.
- Improved release reliability with automated testing.
- Enhanced security with container scanning and RBAC in Kubernetes.
- High availability with auto-scaling and rolling updates.
