XYZ E-Commerce DevOps Project

Overview

This project sets up a scalable, observable, and fully automated e-commerce web application using the following DevOps stack:

• Terraform for infrastructure provisioning on AWS
• Ansible for server configuration
• GitLab CI/CD for continuous integration and deployment
• Kubernetes for container orchestration
• Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring and alerting

Quick Start

1. Provision Infrastructure (Terraform)

cd terraform
terraform init
terraform apply -auto-approve

2. Configure Servers (Ansible)

cd ../ansible
ansible-playbook -i inventory playbook.yml

3. Deploy to Kubernetes

kubectl apply -f deployment/deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f deployment/service.yaml
kubectl apply -f deployment/ingress.yaml

4. Set Up Monitoring

# Prometheus and Grafana deployed as part of Kubernetes manifests or Helm chart
kubectl apply -f monitoring/prometheus.yml
kubectl apply -f monitoring/alert-rules.yml

5. CI/CD Pipeline

Ensure .gitlab-ci.yml is pushed to your GitLab repo to trigger the automated pipeline on commit.

6. Clean Up

cd scripts
./cleanup.sh

ecommerce-chart

Installing/upgrading/uninstall chart

helm install my-ecommerce ./ecommerce-chart
helm upgrade my-ecommerce ./ecommerce-chart
helm uninstall my-ecommerce

---
## Configuration
Edit values.yaml to customize the deployment including image, replicas, service type, ingress, and resources.

---

### 8. Packaging and testing

```bash
# Package the chart
helm package ./ecommerce-chart

# Install in a test namespace
kubectl create namespace test-ecommerce
helm install test-release ./ecommerce-chart-1.0.0.tgz -n test-ecommerce

# Check status
kubectl get all -n test-ecommerce

# Test ingress (ensure your ingress controller is running and DNS is configured)

# Uninstall when done
helm uninstall test-release -n test-ecommerce
kubectl delete namespace test-ecommerce
