Summary of Challenge and Plan

[tenongene]

I recently came across an infrastructure as code challenge on Github called "DocNetwork's DevOps Challenge" and I decided to star it and give it a try. I am very passionate about furthering my skills and knowledge in all things cloud and devops, and this challenge seemed like a good one to test my skills.

PLANNING

• Design and code a Quote Generator single page Application with NodeJS and Express, that will fetch a random quote from a free quote API, and also display a random inspirational image of nature also fetched from a free photo collection API.

• Containerize the application with Docker, and pushing the image to the DockerHub registry.

• Write and code terraform manifest files for deployment on AWS via an AutoScaling Group of EC2 instances, configured with a load balancer.

• Build a CI/CD pipeline with GitLab, configuring a Webhook in DockerHub and writing a Lambda function for updating the instances.

• Write and code terraform manifest files for deployment on AWS via an AutoScaling Group of Task definitions in an ECS cluster, configured with a load balancer.
