Automated DevOps Orchestration
A full-lifecycle DevOps lifecycle for a microservices application with a React frontend and Flask backend, fully automated via GitLab CI/CD and deployed to AWS EC2 using Ansible.
System Architecture
The application components are containerized and orchestrated via docker-compose, managed by Ansible roles, and deployed to AWS for production access.

CI/CD Execution Proof
The pipeline is triggered on every push to the main branch , executing 6 automated stages: Slack notifications, dependency installation, testing, security scanning with Trivy, and Ansible deployment.

Deployment Result
Once deployed to the AWS EC2 instance (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) , NGINX serves the React frontend, which proxies API requests to the Flask backend.

Infrastructure Provisioning
Ansible automatically provisions the EC2 instance, clones the repository, and pulls hardened Docker images.
Security Scanning
Built-in Trivy scans audit the Docker images for high-severity vulnerabilities before the deployment phase.
