This is a lab for practicing your DevOps skills by tieing up DevOps tools such as Jenkins, Docker, Ansible, Vagrant, and the ELK stack. The entire environment was built using Vagrant and Virtualbox and provisioned with Ansible as a completely automated setup. Local Git was used as the SCM and Jenkins as the CI/CD server for pulling changes from the SCM, building and packaging the code, and then deploying it onto the staging and production servers. Staging and production servers run Docker and Jenkins runs the Docker images of our application. Filebeats was deployed on staging as well as production API servers to feed the logs to Logstash. Logstash ships them to Elasticsearch, and Kibana used to view them in real-time. We used a simple Ubuntu machine to store the API and front-end build files for archiving our builds.

Many times during a pentest, we needed a server on the cloud that would assist in scanning with tools such as NMAP or simply a reverse look-up on Nginx. For that reason, I created this project that spins up a Droplet on DigitalOcean to install our custom tools, do the pentest, and destroy the environment!

Wrote Terraform scripts to set up the entire AWS infrastructure, including RDS, EFS, and AWS EKS. The Terraform state was stored in Terraform Cloud and a GitOps pipeline was created using GitHub Actions. Every time a new Kubernetes resource needs to be created, it would be deployed through this pipeline which had multiple checks.
