Plan what your pipeline will look like.

• Linting, building and pushing Docker image to Docker Hub, creating EKS cluster and deploying Docker image to cluster on every commit

Decide which options you will include in your Continuous Integration phase. Use either Circle CI or Jenkins.

• Circle CI

Pick a deployment type - either rolling deployment or blue/green deployment.

• Rolling

For the Docker application you can either use an application which you come up with, or use an open-source application pulled from the Internet, or if you have no idea, you can use an Nginx “Hello World, my name is (student name)” application.

• Simple Web App using Flask

If you're using Jenkins, create your Jenkins master box and install the plugins you will need.

• Not applicable

If you're using Circle CI, set up your circle CI account and connect your git repository.

• Completed

Set up your environment to which you will deploy code.

• Completed

Use Ansible or CloudFormation to build your “infrastructure”; i.e., the Kubernetes Cluster.

• Completed

It should create the EC2 instances (if you are building your own), set the correct networking settings, and deploy software to these instances.

• Completed

As a final step, the Kubernetes cluster will need to be initialized. The Kubernetes cluster initialization can either be done by hand, or with Ansible/Cloudformation at the student’s discretion.

• Completed

Construct your pipeline in your GitHub repository.

• Completed

Set up all the steps that your pipeline will include.

• Completed

Configure a deployment pipeline.

• Completed

Include your Dockerfile/source code in the Git repository.

• Completed

Include with your Linting step both a failed Linting screenshot and a successful Linting screenshot to show the Linter working properly.

• Completed

Perform builds on your pipeline.

• Completed

Verify that your pipeline works as you designed it.

• Completed

Take a screenshot of the Circle CI or Jenkins pipeline showing deployment, and a screenshot of your AWS EC2 page showing the newly created (for blue/green) or modified (for rolling) instances. Make sure you name your instances differently between blue and green deployments.
