Deployment

This repository is split into two parts:

• The Scraper code: job_scraper folder.
• The CI/CD pipeline: responsible for deploying the scraper and pushing changes to the code, which lives inside cicd_infrastructure.

.: Prerequisites: :.

You need the following to deploy the project:

• Terraform
• AWS account
• AWS Cli
• AWS Profile
     This creates a profile with keys to access the AWS account
• Slack Workspace
• Slack App

.: Installation & Configuration: :.

1 - Slack

• Create a slack channel to receive jobs notifications
• Create a slack webhook from your Slack App
     Save the generated webhook url somewhere as you will need to use it later

2 - AWS

• Create bucket to store deployment artifacts
• Store slack webhook on secrets manager
     I create a "Other type of secrets" and put the name of the secret and the Secret key the same.
     E.g:
     Secret Name: mpenz-ws-slack-webhook
     Secret Key: mpenz-ws-slack-webhook
     Secret Value: https://hooks.slack.com/services/....

3 - Github

• Clone the Repository
• Create personal Access Token
     This is needed to allow your AWS account to connect with your clone github repo. Follow from step 1 to 6. Make sure you save it somewhere safe but with quick access.

4 - Configure cloned repository

.: Deploy CI/CD pipeline :.

Required:

Init
terraform init -backend-config="terraform-backend.tfvars"

Apply
terraform apply -var-file="terraform-deployment.tfvars"

Optional:

Plan
terraform plan -var-file="terraform-deployment.tfvars"

Destroy
terraform destroy -var-file="terraform-deployment.tfvars"

Once terraform finishes applying the infrastructure you can find the CI/CD pipeline on your AWS account. If you log into your AWS account you can check the Code Pipeline service.
