Full Stack application deployed on AWS EC2

Web App on Cloud

A full stack application deployed on an AWS EC2 Instance.

Detailed description

The project deploys a full stack application on a cloud server. It implements concepts like containerization, CI/CD pipeline, infrastructure as code, configuration management, cloud computing and task automation.

Tools/Technologies used

• Nginx - Nginx is a high-performance, open-source web server and reverse proxy server known for its scalability and efficiency in handling concurrent connections.

• Node.js - Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 engine, enabling server-side scripting to create scalable and high-performance web applications.

• Terraform - Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code software tool that allows users to define and provision infrastructure using a declarative configuration language.

• Ansible - Ansible is an open-source automation platform used for configuration management, application deployment, and task automation, emphasizing simplicity and ease of use.

• Jenkins - Jenkins is an open-source automation server that facilitates continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) for software development projects.

• Docker - Docker is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) product that uses OS-level virtualization to deliver software in containers, enabling lightweight, portable, and consistent environments for applications.

Pre-requisites to run the project

• An AWS account.
• Terraform must be installed on local system. Go to this link for reference.
• Git must be installed on local system to clone project.

Steps to execute the project

A step by step series of instructions that will help you deploy the application

Step 1 : Create a keypair locally using this command

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f keypair

Step 2 : Execute ec2.tf locally to create AWS EC2 Instance.

Step 3 : SSH into newly created EC2 Instance, install Ansible, clone this repo then install docker and jenkins using ec2_config.yml file after navigating into cloned repo. The playbook file will also handle configurations and permissions required to run Docker in Jenkins.

Step 4 : Launch Jenkins on EC2 and install Docker and Github plugins.

Step 5 : Create a pipeline job, add Jenkinsfile from repo.

Step 6 : Execute job.

Step 7 : Hit the EC2 public address at port 3000 to access application.
