Setup DevOps Pipeline using GitLab CI/CD

[deepakduggirala]

As part of our project infrastructure, we need to set up a DevOps pipeline to automate our build and deployment processes. The pipeline should be configured as follows:

1. GitLab CI/CD: We will use GitLab for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment. The pipeline should be configured to react to push events on GitHub.

2. Build Docker Images: Upon a push event, the pipeline should automatically build UI and API Docker images for our application.

3. Publish Images to Registry: After building the Docker images, the pipeline should publish these images to an internal Docker registry.

4. Deploy with Docker Swarm: Finally, Docker Swarm should be used to deploy these images to assigned Docker hosts or VMs.

This setup will allow us to automate our deployment process, ensuring that our application is always running the latest code. It will also make it easier for us to manage and scale our application.

Acceptance Criteria:

• GitLab CI/CD pipeline is set up and reacts to GitHub push events.
• Docker images are automatically built and published to the registry upon code push.
• Docker Swarm deploys these images to the assigned Docker hosts or VMs.
