CI/CD Pipeline - Cloud Automator

This project demonstrates a fully automated CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins, Terraform, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It is designed to streamline the deployment process while ensuring reliability and scalability.

Technologies Used

• Terraform: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for provisioning cloud resources.
• Jenkins: Automating build, test, and deployment processes.
• Docker: Containerization of applications for portability.
• Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE): Orchestrating containerized workloads.
• Google Artifact Registry: Storing and managing Docker images.

Setup Instructions

Enable Required Google Cloud APIs

Before running Terraform, enable the necessary APIs:

gcloud services enable container.googleapis.com
gcloud services enable cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com

Infrastructure Deployment with Terraform

Ensure Terraform is installed and authenticated with GCP. Then, deploy the infrastructure:

terraform init
terraform apply -auto-approve

Jenkins Configuration

• Install the following Jenkins plugins:
  • Blue Ocean (for modern UI and pipeline visualization)
  • Terraform (to integrate with Terraform)
  • Docker (to build and push images)
• Authenticate Jenkins with GCP to push Docker images:

gcloud auth configure-docker asia-southeast1-docker.pkg.dev

CI/CD Pipeline

The Jenkinsfile defines the complete CI/CD pipeline, including:

• Code Checkout: Fetching source code from version control.
• Build & Test: Running unit tests and security scans.
• Containerization: Building Docker images.
• Artifact Management: Pushing images to Google Artifact Registry.
• Deployment: Deploying to GKE.

Features:

✔️ Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform
✔️ Automated deployments with Jenkins
✔️ Managing containerized applications on GKE
✔️ Secure artifact storage with Google Artifact Registry
✔️ End-to-end CI/CD implementation
