Repo for demonstrating a typical devops workflow

devops-workflow

Repo for demonstrating a typical "devops" workflow. A typical "devops" workflow consists of build -> test -> validate -> release cycle.

This repo aims to show a typical build -> test -> validate -> release cycle can be created and applied. This repo consists of a simple Flask Hello World application and a simple test for it. The supporting toolchain around this includes:

• Packer, for building a custom AMI based on an existing base (in this case, a stock Ubuntu 18.04 image)
• Ansible, for config management and provisioning the necessary tools
• Terraform for building the necessary resources and instances on AWS.
• A Jenkinsfile which defines a Jenkins pipeline script for each of the different stages.
• Datadog integration so that your instance reports metrics to datadog upon launch

Things that are included in the repo but not yet integrated in the cycle:

• A Dockerfile for building a Docker image
• Necessary integrations and plugins required for auto deploy on a github commit/push
• Setting up datadog account / datadog + AWS integration

Jenkins plugins

Following Jenkins plugins were used to achieve the desired result:

• AnsiColor (for coloring console output)
• Github Integration
• Pipeline AWS steps (to inject AWS credentials, but can be used for many other things)
