[varghesekurian1989]

Description

As a DevOps engineer

Set up a basic Jenkins CI/CD pipeline server to support continuous integration and delivery for projects. The server will initially meet basic requirements but should be upgradeable for future scalability and integration needs.

Requirements

1. Server Details:

   • Operating System: RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) image on AWS.
   • Hardware Requirements:
     • CPUs: 4
     • RAM: 8GB
     • Storage: 50GB

2. Jenkins Setup:

   • Jenkins Version: Latest LTS version.
   • Plugins Required: Git, Pipeline, Blue Ocean.

3. Pipeline Details:

   • Type of Pipeline: Declarative.
   • Initial Stages: Build, Test, Deploy.
   • Source Repository: GitHub.

4. Future Integration Needs:

   • Kubernetes Integration: Setup to integrate with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).
   • Scaling: Ensure the server is capable of hardware upgrades to handle increased load.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Deploy the RHEL image on AWS.
2. Install Jenkins and required plugins.
3. Configure pipeline stages.
4. Test the pipeline functionality.

Expected Outcome

A fully operational Jenkins server set up on AWS, capable of handling CI/CD workflows. The server should be prepared for future upgrades and integration with Kubernetes on EKS.

Actual Outcome

Provide details if there are any issues or deviations after setup.

Additional Context

• Known blockers: Potential limitations with AWS instance scaling or plugin compatibility.
• Dependencies: Ensure the RHEL image has required configurations for Jenkins installation.
