DevOps Project – End-to-End Explanation

 I worked on a microservices-based e-commerce application deployed on


AWS. As part of the DevOps team, I was responsible for implementing and
maintaining the complete CI/CD pipeline, infrastructure provisioning,
containerization, Kubernetes deployment, and monitoring.

 The application code was maintained in GitHub using a proper branching


strategy — feature branches were merged into dev, then main. Every time a
developer pushed code, it would automatically trigger a Jenkins pipeline.
This pipeline had multiple stages:
a) Code checkout
b) Unit testing
c) Code quality analysis using SonarQube
d) Docker image build
e) Pushing the image to ECR
f) Automatic deployment to Kubernetes

 I wrote and maintained the Dockerfiles for each microservice, using multi-
stage builds to keep the image sizes optimized. The images were tagged
using a combination of the service name and Git commit ID for easy
traceability.

 For orchestration, we deployed the application on AWS EKS (Elastic


Kubernetes Service). I was responsible for writing and maintaining the
Kubernetes manifests for:
Deployments
Services (ClusterIP, LoadBalancer)
ConfigMaps & Secrets
Autoscalers (HPA)

We also used Kustomize to manage configurations across environments like


dev, staging, and production.
 To manage our infrastructure as code, we used Terraform. I wrote .tf files to
provision AWS resources such as VPCs, subnets, EC2 instances for Jenkins,
the EKS cluster, IAM roles, and security groups. We followed a workflow
using terraform plan and terraform apply to track changes and keep the
infra reproducible.

 Once the application was running in production, monitoring and


observability became crucial. We deployed Prometheus and Grafana via
Helm charts into our Kubernetes cluster.

 I created and maintained Grafana dashboards to monitor key application


and infrastructure metrics — like CPU usage, memory, request latency, error
rates, etc.

 We also set up Prometheus alerting rules using PromQL. When an alert


condition was met, Alertmanager sent notifications to Slack, so we could
respond quickly to any issues.

 For log analysis, we deployed the EFK stack (Elasticsearch, Fluentd, and
Kibana). Fluentd collected container and application logs, which were stored
in Elasticsearch and visualized via Kibana. This helped us perform root cause
analysis during incidents.

 From a security perspective, we implemented IAM policies and RBAC to


control access to AWS and Kubernetes. Secrets and sensitive data were
managed securely using Kubernetes Secrets and AWS Secrets Manager. For
ingress TLS/HTTPS, we set up cert-manager with Let’s Encrypt.

 Overall, this project allowed me to handle the full DevOps lifecycle — from
code integration to cloud infrastructure provisioning, containerization,
Kubernetes deployments, monitoring, alerting, and log management. It
significantly improved the release process, reduced deployment time, and
helped us maintain production stability.
“This project gave me strong end-to-end hands-on experience with the
DevOps toolchain. I was deeply involved in automation, cloud infra,
containerization, Kubernetes operations, and monitoring — all aligned
with real-world production use cases.”
