I demonstrated a deep understanding of cloud infrastructure management, containerisation, and CI/CD pipelines. 1. Cloud Infrastructure Management - Successfully deployed and managed two containerized applications on AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). My responsibilities included ensuring seamless communication between the frontend and backend components and overseeing the entire AWS infrastructure. This encompassed the setup of Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), subnets, EC2 instances, and comprehensive monitoring tools. - Leveraged Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC), which provided a scalable and consistent approach to managing infrastructure. 2. CI/CD Pipeline and Automation - Established a robust CI/CD pipeline powered by Jenkins, enabling automated building, testing, and deployment of the applications. The pipeline included multiple stages, with one focusing on the rebuild and push of Docker images to Docker Hub. - Implemented NGINX load balancing to direct all traffic to port 80 and deployed the containerized applications as pods on AWS EKS worker nodes, ensuring high availability and reliability. - Integrated webhooks from Docker, Jenkins, and GitHub to establish a seamless, continuous development and deployment ecosystem, with no disruption to the user experience. 3. Microservices Application Deployment - Led the development and deployment of a complex microservices application comprising five components, each with multiple containers. Docker Swarm was the chosen orchestration platform. - Utilized Ansible for environment provisioning, creating a highly efficient and reproducible infrastructure setup.
