Jenkins CI/CD Pipeline Deployment on AWS EC2

This project walks you through the process of deploying the Jenkins app on EC2 and configuring Jenkins to automatically spin up with Jenkins agent if built abilities need to be augmented to the instance.

Project Detail

This project focuses on deploying and configuring the Jenkins automation server on an Amazon EC2 instance to establish a scalable and customizable Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) environment. The setup utilizes AWS managed services to provision the infrastructure and enables Jenkins to dynamically scale by launching Jenkins agents when additional build capacity is required. The project covers end-to-end configuration, including security groups, IAM roles, Jenkins setup, and agent management for efficient pipeline execution.

Key Technologies

• AWS EC2: To host the Jenkins master server with persistent storage and network configuration.
• Jenkins: For building, testing, and deploying applications automatically.
• Managed AWS Services: Used for infrastructure management (IAM, VPC, Security Groups).
• Jenkins Agents (Slaves): Configured to auto-scale for handling parallel builds or heavy workloads.
• IAM Roles & Policies: To provide secure access between Jenkins and other AWS resources

Benefits

• Scalable Build Environment: Automatically adjusts resources based on pipeline load.
• Infrastructure as Code Ready: Easily extensible for future automation using Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
• Cost Optimization: Controlled resource allocation and usage monitoring
• Security Best Practices: IAM-based access control and secure EC2 configurations.
