๐Ÿš€ Week 6 Recap: Learning in Public โ€“ Software Engineering with DevOps ๐Ÿš€

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.

๐Ÿ” Key Learnings and Hands-On Implementations:

AWS VPC โ€“ Best Practices & Implementation ๐ŸŒ
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 ๐Ÿ”: Set up a bastion host to securely manage private EC2 instances.

Website Hosting in VPC ๐ŸŒ: 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 ๐Ÿ“œ
Automated the entire VPC setup using Terraform, defining infrastructure as code with reusable modules.

AWS DevOps & CI/CD ๐Ÿš€
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.

๐ŸŽฏ 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.

๐Ÿ’ก 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.

๐Ÿš€ Looking forward to next weekโ€™s challenges as I continue my DevOps journey!
