CI/CD Project with GitHub Actions, Docker, AWS EC2, and Nginx

Welcome to our CI/CD project repository! This project embraces modern DevOps practices with a robust CI/CD pipeline powered by GitHub Actions, Docker for containerization, and a self-hosted runner deployed on an AWS EC2 instance. Nginx serves as the web server within the Docker container, facilitating efficient and reliable deployment of our application.

Tools Used

1. GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions provides powerful automation workflows directly within your GitHub repository. In this project, GitHub Actions are configured to build, test, and deploy our application.

2. Docker

Docker is used for containerization, allowing us to package our application and its dependencies into a standardized unit for seamless deployment across different environments.

3. AWS EC2

We utilize AWS EC2 instances as self-hosted runners for GitHub Actions. This provides a scalable and customizable compute environment for our CI/CD processes.

4. Nginx

Nginx serves as the web server in the Docker container, handling the deployment of our application. It ensures efficient and reliable delivery of our web content.

Deployment Link

The application is deployed and can be accessed at Deployment Link.

Pull Request Deployment

Upon merging a pull request into the main branch, GitHub Actions will automatically trigger the CI/CD pipeline, deploying the changes directly to the specified environment.
