Kubernetes CI/CD Pipeline

This project implements a complete CI/CD pipeline for deploying microservices to Kubernetes clusters using GitOps principles.

Overview

Built a production-ready deployment pipeline that automates the entire software delivery process from code commit to production deployment.

Key Features

• GitOps Workflow: All infrastructure and application configs stored in Git
• Automated Deployments: ArgoCD continuously monitors Git repos and syncs to clusters
• Multi-Environment: Separate dev, staging, and production environments
• Rollback Capability: Easy rollback to previous versions
• Security: Secrets management with Sealed Secrets

Technologies Used

• Kubernetes (EKS)
• ArgoCD
• Helm
• GitHub Actions
• Docker
• Terraform

Architecture

The pipeline follows a GitOps approach where:

1. Developers push code to GitHub
2. GitHub Actions builds and tests the application
3. Docker images are pushed to ECR
4. Helm charts are updated with new image tags
5. ArgoCD detects changes and deploys to Kubernetes

Results

• Reduced deployment time from 2 hours to 15 minutes
• Zero-downtime deployments
• Improved reliability with automated rollbacks
• Better visibility into deployment status
