AWS EC2 Static Website Deployment with Jenkins CI/CD

This project demonstrates how to deploy a static website on an AWS EC2 instance and automate the deployment process using Jenkins.

It includes both:

• Manual Deployment using Apache
• Automated Deployment using Jenkins (CI/CD)

---

Project Overview

In this project, I deployed a static website on an AWS EC2 instance to understand real-world hosting and infrastructure.

Further, I automated the deployment using Jenkins, simulating a basic CI/CD pipeline where changes made in the code are automatically reflected on the live server.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• AWS EC2 (Ubuntu)
• Apache Web Server
• Jenkins (CI/CD)
• Git & GitHub
• Linux (CLI)
• SSH (MobaXterm)

---

⚙️ Architecture

GitHub → Jenkins → EC2 → Apache → Live Website

---

Manual Deployment Steps

1. Launch EC2 Instance

• Ubuntu Server

• Configure Security Groups:

  • Port 22 (SSH)
  • Port 80 (HTTP)

---

2. Connect via SSH

ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<your-public-ip>

---

3. Install Apache

sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2 -y

---

4. Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/bs-bhadauria/kamera_website.git
cd kamera_website

---

5. Deploy Website

sudo cp -r * /var/www/html/

---

6. Access Website

Open browser and visit:

🔁 CI/CD Automation using Jenkins

✔️ Implementation

• Created Jenkins Pipeline Job
• Integrated GitHub repository with Jenkins
• Automated deployment process

---

🔄 Workflow

Code Change → GitHub → Jenkins Build → Deploy to /var/www/html → Live Website Updated

---

Example

• Modified HTML file in project
• Triggered Jenkins build
• Website updated automatically without manual file copying
