Automated CI/CD Pipeline with Jenkins on AWS

📖 Description

This project implements a complete CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipeline using Jenkins on AWS. The pipeline is automatically triggered by a Git push, building a Docker application, and pushing the image to Docker Hub. Infrastructure is managed as code using Terraform.

📋 Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• An AWS account with appropriate permissions.
• A Docker Hub account.
• The following tools installed on your local machine:
  • Terraform (v1.5.0+)
  • AWS CLI (configured with your credentials)
  • Git

🏗️ Architecture

The workflow is as follows:

1. A developer pushes code to the main GitHub branch.
2. GitHub sends a webhook notification to the Jenkins server.
3. Jenkins pulls the latest code, including the Jenkinsfile.
4. Jenkins executes the pipeline stages defined in the Jenkinsfile.
5. The pipeline builds a new Docker image and pushes it to Docker Hub.

⚙️ Setup & Installation

1. Terraform Infrastructure Provisioning

This repository uses Terraform to provision the Jenkins server on AWS.
