Steps to Implement the Project 📋🏃‍♂️

1️⃣ Set up the Infrastructure 🏗️

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone --recursive --depth=1 https://github.com/OMaciasd/DevOps-Project.git
   cd DevOps-Project
   

2. Go to the /terraform folder and run the commands to initialize and apply the infrastructure:

   cd terraform
   terraform init
   terraform apply
   

2️⃣ Deploy with Ansible ⚙️

1. Go to the /ansible folder and run the playbook to configure the server:

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

3️⃣ Set up CI/CD 🔄

1. Set up CI/CD pipelines in the /ci-cd folder using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins. If using GitHub Actions:

• Add the workflow file to GitHub

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

• This will trigger the pipeline when pushing to the main branch.

4️⃣ Docker 🐳

• Use Docker Compose to bring up services locally:

cd ../docker
docker-compose up

5️⃣ Monitoring and Testing 📊

• Prometheus and Grafana: For infrastructure and application monitoring.

• Selenium and JMeter: For automated integration and load testing.
