This project showcases a platform for the "Build, Test, Deploy, Run" microservices on AWS cloud.

This is an on-going personal project of mine and is still in WIP.

Keynote:

• AWS infrastructure/resources are provisioned using Terraform/Cloudformation
• Packer to build immutable servers
• Jenkins an Automation Server to automate the full 'DevOps' lifecyle by using CI/CD pipelines
• Containerized microservices (Docker) are published to AWS ECR once built
• Non-Containerized microservices (e.g. raw java jar executables) are published to a repository manager (Artifactory/Nexus)
• Ansible automates the deployment of microservices to AWS cloud
• PAAS solution example in AWS Elastic Beanstalk
• Demonstrates creating AWS infrastructure on EC2, ECS, EKS etc... and running microservices on them

• Summary
• Deployment Platforms
  • Bare Metal/Virtual Machines
  • PASS (Platform as a Service)
  • Self-Hosted Containers on Servers (EC2 Instances)
  • ECS (on EC2 instances)
  • ECS Fargate
  • EKS
• Supplementaries
  • Microservice AMI
• CI/CD
  • Jenkins Setup
  • Jenkins Build Container
• Development Language Platform

This projects demonstrates the ability of taking a microservice (regardless of its development language platform*) and deploying it onto various different AWS compute services; namely:

• EC2
• Elastic Beanstalk
• ECS
• EKS

• microservice-aws-ec2-setup
• microservice-aws-ec2-deployment

• microservice-aws-elastic-beanstalk-setup
• microservice-aws-elastic-beanstalk-deployment

• microservice-aws-ec2-docker-setup
• microservice-aws-ec2-docker-deployment

This side-project above demonstrates that the microservies (in Java/NodeJS) gets built into a Docker container from a Docker image. The Docker image is then published onto a Docker Registry (here we use AWS's ECR - Elastic Container Registry).

EC2 instances are provisioned by either Terraform or AWS Cloudformation just like the Bare Metal/Virtual Machines side project above. Additionally, the EC2 instances are configured to install Docker after provisioning.

For deployment of the microservices, use Ansible to pull the Docker image from ECR and run them on the EC2 instances.

[TBD]

[TBD]

• microservice-aws-eks-setup
• microservice-aws-eks-deployment

• microservice-ami

Currently, only 2 programming language supported in this demonstration:

• Java
• NodeJS

Here are the skeleton project of a microservice in the above platforms which can be used as a template:

See:

• microservice-java
• microservice-nodejs

Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery.

To achieve CI/CD objectives for this example microservice-aws-demo project we use the Jenkins CI build server & its CD pipelines features to build the various microservices-aws-demo components.
