CI/CD Pipeline Development

Objective:

Create a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline using one of the specified tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, AWS CodePipeline, GCP Cloud Build, or Azure Pipeline). The pipeline should automate the deployment of a containerized application to a Kubernetes cluster, ensuring that the application is accessible via a web browser.

Pipeline Stages:

Checkout Application Code:

Retrieve the latest code from the version control system (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket).

Code Analysis using SonarQube:

Analyze the code quality and security vulnerabilities using SonarQube. (Optional) Fail the build if specified quality thresholds are not met.

Build Docker Image:

Build a Docker image from the application code. Tag the image appropriately.

Push into Image Registry:

Push the built Docker image to a specified public or private container image registry (e.g., Docker Hub, AWS ECR, GCP Container Registry).

Deploy into Kubernetes Cluster using ArgoCD:

Use ArgoCD to deploy the Docker image to a Kubernetes cluster. The deployment should trigger automatically upon a new docker image tag being updated into deployment.yaml file.

Kubernetes Exposition:

Configure Kubernetes services or an Ingress controller to expose the application. Ensure the application is accessible from the browser.

Technical Specifications:

Tools and Technologies:

Choose a CI/CD tool suitable for your infrastructure and familiarity. Use Docker for containerization. Kubernetes for orchestration. ArgoCD for Kubernetes deployment synchronization. SonarQube for code quality and security analysis.

Prerequisite:

1. Minikube setup on local -> https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/?arch=%2Flinux%2Fx86-64%2Fstable%2Fbinary+download

2. Setup Jenkins, Sonar

3. Setup ArgoCD Some good resource links: 1) Follow the below doc to setup ArgoCD https://medium.com/@eftech93/installing-argo-cd-on-minikube-gitops-with-argo-cd-c451d4a06459 https://medium.com/@eftech93/deploying-a-chat-application-in-minikube-with-argo-cd-a-comprehensive-guide-a7e252fc38a0
