🚀 Week 6 Recap: Learning in Public – Software Engineering with DevOps 🚀

This week, I focused on Continuous Integration (CI) & Continuous Deployment (CD) with AWS VPC, following best practices for designing secure and scalable cloud infrastructure. I explored how to set up VPCs, automate deployments, and integrate AWS DevOps tools into real-world projects.

🔍 Key Learnings and Hands-On Implementations:

AWS VPC – Best Practices & Implementation 🌍

  • VPC Design & Components: Designed and implemented a secure Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for scalable cloud applications.

  • VPC Setup: Created custom VPCs, configured subnets, route tables, Internet Gateways, and NAT Gateways for optimal networking.

  • Bastion Host for Secure Access 🔐: Set up a bastion host to securely manage private EC2 instances.

  • Website Hosting in VPC 🌐: Hosted a web application inside a private VPC while ensuring external access via Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) and Route 53.

  • VPC Peering: Established VPC peering for secure communication between multiple VPCs.

Terraform for VPC Automation 📜

  • Automated the entire VPC setup using Terraform, defining infrastructure as code with reusable modules.

AWS DevOps & CI/CD 🚀

  • EC2 Logs & Monitoring: Configured CloudWatch Logs to track EC2 performance and security metrics.

  • S3 Policies: Implemented secure S3 bucket policies for controlled access.

  • Elastic Beanstalk Deployment:

    • Set up RDS and deployed applications on Elastic Beanstalk for high availability.

    • Configured security groups, load balancers, and auto-scaling for optimized application performance.

  • AWS CodeSuite (CI/CD Pipelines):

    • CodeCommit: Managed source code repositories efficiently.

    • CodeBuild: Automated builds and testing for smooth deployments.

    • CodeDeploy: Implemented zero-downtime deployments for production-ready applications.

    • CodePipeline: Integrated CI/CD workflows to automate the full deployment cycle.

🎯 Projects & Implementations:
This week, I built end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using AWS services to manage infrastructure, deploy applications, and ensure high availability inside VPC-based architectures.

💡 Key Takeaways:

  • VPC security and design are essential for scalable cloud applications.

  • Automating infrastructure with Terraform & CI/CD improves efficiency and reliability.

  • AWS CodeSuite (CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline) streamlines DevOps workflows.

🚀 Looking forward to next week’s challenges as I continue my DevOps journey!
