Why Choose This Project?

As organizations adopt multi-cloud strategies, deploying applications consistently across multiple cloud providers becomes complex. This project demonstrates automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Terraform to provision, configure, and deploy applications on AWS, Azure, and GCP. Students learn infrastructure-as-code (IaC), multi-cloud deployment, and automated release management, key skills in modern DevOps.

What You Get

Automated provisioning of infrastructure on multiple cloud platforms
CI/CD pipelines for building, testing, and deploying applications
Consistent environment setup using Terraform
Centralized dashboard for deployment status and logs
Alerts for failed builds or deployment issues
Historical tracking of deployments across clouds

Key Features

Technology Stack

CI/CD & Automation:

• Jenkins (Pipeline as Code)

• Git / GitHub / GitLab for version control

Infrastructure Layer:

• Terraform for provisioning AWS, Azure, GCP resources

• Docker for containerized applications

Cloud Platforms:

• AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda)

• Azure (VMs, Storage, App Services)

• GCP (Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, GKE)

Monitoring & Notifications:

• Slack, Teams, or email integration for alerts

• Optional: Prometheus/Grafana for deployment metrics

Cloud Services Used

• AWS / Azure / GCP – Host applications, databases, and networking resources

• Terraform Cloud or Remote State – Maintain IaC state across multi-cloud deployments

• Jenkins – Orchestrate multi-cloud CI/CD pipelines

• Cloud Storage / Artifacts – Store build artifacts and deployment packages

Working Flow

1. Version Control – Developers push code to Git repository.

2. Pipeline Trigger – Jenkins detects code changes and triggers CI/CD pipeline.

3. Build & Test – Jenkins builds the application, runs tests, and packages artifacts.

4. Infrastructure Provisioning – Terraform provisions cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, or GCP.

5. Application Deployment – Jenkins deploys the application to the provisioned cloud resources.

6. Monitoring & Alerts – Pipeline sends success/failure notifications via Slack, email, or Teams.

7. Rollback (Optional) – On failure, Terraform and Jenkins automate rollback to previous stable state.

Main Modules

• Source Control Module – Git repository for code and configuration

• CI Module – Build, test, and package application using Jenkins

• IaC Module – Terraform scripts for provisioning multi-cloud infrastructure

• CD Module – Deployment orchestration across multiple cloud environments

• Monitoring Module – Alerts and dashboards for pipeline status and metrics

• Rollback Module – Automated rollback on deployment failures

Security Features

• IAM/Role-based access control for cloud resources and Jenkins

• Secure storage of secrets and credentials using Vault or Jenkins Credentials

• TLS/SSL for communication between Jenkins, Git, and cloud providers

• Audit logs for pipeline runs, Terraform changes, and deployments
