Jenkins Pipeline for Deploying Nginx web app on EKS

This project demonstrates how to deploy an Nginx web app to an AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster using Jenkins.

Steps:

1. Create an EC2 Key Pair

• Generate an EC2 key pair to securely access the EC2 instances for the Jenkins server and other resources.

2. Set Up Jenkins Server

• Create an EC2 instance to host the Jenkins server.
• Install Jenkins and all required dependencies by Ansible playbook.
• Ensure that Jenkins is properly configured and running.

3. Access and Set Up Jenkins

• Access the Jenkins server through its web interface.
• Configure Jenkins plugins and tools necessary for building and deploying to EKS.

4. Run Jenkins Pipeline for EKS Deployment

• The pipeline will automate the creation of a Kubernetes cluster on AWS EKS.
• Deploy the Nginx web app in the Kubernetes cluster and expose it as a service.

5. Test the Deployment

• Verify that the Nginx service is running correctly within the Kubernetes cluster.
• Access the service to ensure it is deployed successfully.

6. Clean Up Resources

• Clean up all resources (EC2 instances, EKS cluster, etc.) after testing to avoid unnecessary costs.

Environments

In real-world scenarios, deployment typically happens in multiple environments (e.g., dev, test, production). However, we focus on deploying to a single dev environmentfor this project.
