Projects
Ansible / Jenkins / AWS Cloud /GitHub Webhook
ASG Rolling Update (Ansible + Jenkins)
I just try to a new explanation method for easy to convey my work and details. Basically, this is an ansible-playbook with ASG Rolling update and Create an AWS Infrastructure with (ELB + ASG + Security Group). Its automated with Jenkins. Client Query: I have an ELB (Elastic LoadBalancer) in amazon and that ELB under instances is registered from an ASG. Also, the developers are uploaded the site contents to the git, and the developers make updates on git (ELB git changes through user-data with git). So, that's very complicated each update time has to change the count of ASG but it's very annoying and expensive creates and removes instances unwanted is there any solution? Answer: We have created a ASG oriented ansible playbook with dynamic inventory and its help to update git contents which if the current available instances and you can use this manually or automate via jenkins like (continues deployment) and who use the playbook it never needs to create instances unwanted.
Docker / Docker-compose / Python / IPstack API
IP-Location finding website containerization with Nginx LoadBalancing
It's a sample IP-location website and anyone can easy to set up this iplocation project on your environment with the help of docker-compose and containerization. Also, this project includes 3 IP-location lookup (ipstack) containers for effectivly working and that can handle more clients, and that three containers datas store/fetch to a common cache server (Redis). Also, the 3 containers are connected with an Nginx server, and that server act as a load balancer, and this server is only connected with the outside world.
Terraform / AWS Cloud / Bash Script / Ansible
Terraform used to Create an Ansible-master & Ansible Clients
The ansible infrastructure is created through terraform (IAC). All the details are fetching through a bash script. So, you don't need to change anything manually all are working automatically but some values are appending with your answer. Also, the infrastructure includes one ansible master server (Constant Redhat Distributer), two ansible client servers (Choosable Redhat/Debian Distributer) please note that both client servers with the same distributor which you opt for. In addition, you can choose both master/client's Instance type would you be like also you can use the infrastructure where you want. Furthermore, Terraform installation is included in the script and It's working with your AWS cloud and your default VPC.
