To deploy the application on AWS initially, with plans to gradually adopt Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins to support containerization, orchestration, and CI/CD capabilities as the project scales.
Plan
1. Initial Deployment on AWS
Goal: Get the application running in a production environment on AWS.
Steps: Use native AWS services (e.g., EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, or ECS) to set up and deploy the application.
Benefit: Provides a working production environment that’s easy to deploy and manage, allowing us to quickly validate and optimize the app's core functionality in production.
2. Add Docker for Containerization
Goal: Standardize the application environment across development, testing, and production using Docker containers.
Steps: Containerize the application with Docker and test it locally.
Deploy the Dockerized application to AWS (using AWS ECS as a managed service for containers).
Benefit: Ensures consistent environments between local and production, simplifies dependency management, and prepares for future scalability needs.
3. Introduce Kubernetes for Orchestration and Scaling
Goal: Enable efficient scaling and management of containerized applications through Kubernetes.
Steps: Once the Docker setup is stable, introduce Kubernetes (using AWS EKS) to handle container orchestration.
Set up Kubernetes to manage service scaling, networking, and resilience across multiple containers.
Benefit: Adds advanced orchestration capabilities, allowing for independent scaling of microservices, load balancing, and complex inter-service communication.
4. Integrate Jenkins for CI/CD
Goal: Automate build, testing, and deployment pipelines using Jenkins.
Steps: Set up Jenkins for CI/CD workflows to automate testing and deployment of code changes.
Integrate Jenkins with Kubernetes to manage builds within the cluster.
Benefit: Enables continuous integration and deployment, making it easier to push updates to the Docker/Kubernetes environment and streamline the deployment workflow.
GitHub와의 통합성: GitHub Actions는 GitHub의 저장소와 원활하게 연동됩니다. 저장소에 코드 변경이 발생할 때 자동으로 워크플로우가 실행되므로 GitHub 내부에서의 관리가 간편합니다.
서버 유지 관리 불필요: Jenkins는 자체 서버가 필요하여 설치와 유지 관리에 리소스가 필요합니다. GitHub Actions는 GitHub의 클라우드 기반 서비스이므로 별도의 서버 설정이나 유지 관리가 필요 없으며, 손쉽게 워크플로우를 작성하고 관리할 수 있습니다.
비용 효율성: GitHub Actions는 GitHub의 일정 사용량까지 무료로 제공되며, 추가 요금제가 필요한 경우에도 유연한 요금제 선택이 가능합니다. Jenkins는 서버를 자체적으로 운영할 때 비용이 발생할 수 있습니다.
설정의 간편성: GitHub Actions는 YAML 파일을 사용하여 워크플로우를 쉽게 설정할 수 있으며, 기본적인 템플릿이나 예제들이 제공되어 빠르게 CI/CD 파이프라인을 구축할 수 있습니다. Jenkins는 플러그인과 설정이 복잡해질 수 있으며, 초기 설정과 유지 관리가 더 복잡합니다.
