The article discusses automating AWS deployments using Jenkins, Terraform, and Docker with a focus on deploying the 2048 game on an EC2 instance.
It outlines the process of provisioning an EC2 instance, installing necessary tools like Docker, Jenkins, Terraform, and AWS CLI, and configuring security groups and IAM roles.
The next steps include configuring AWS CLI authentication, setting up Terraform to provision AWS resources, deploying the 2048 game in a Docker container on the EC2 instance, and automating the deployment using Jenkins pipelines.
The Jenkins pipeline automates checking out code from GitHub, initializing Terraform, SSHing into the EC2 instance, installing Docker, creating a Dockerfile, building and running the Docker container, and finally accessing the application.
The article emphasizes Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation in DevOps workflows for faster, consistent, and scalable deployments.
Possible improvements suggested include automating cleanup, adding monitoring with tools like Prometheus & Grafana, enhancing security with IAM roles, and implementing Blue-Green Deployments.
Continuous refinement of CI/CD pipelines leads to efficient, scalable, and production-ready deployments in AWS.
The article concludes by encouraging readers to stay tuned for more DevOps projects and invites questions and suggestions for further discussion.
