Project Title

CI/CD Pipeline for Java Application with Jenkins, Maven, SonarQube, Docker, Argo CD and Kubernetes.

Description

This repository showcases an end-to-end Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for a Java application. The pipeline automates the entire process, from code checkout to production deployment, leveraging popular DevOps tools such as SonarQube, Argo CD, Helm, and Kubernetes.

Features

• Code is built, tested, and packaged using Maven.
• Static code analysis is performed using SonarQube.
• Docker image is built, pushed to Docker Hub, and versioned.
• Application is deployed to Kubernetes using Argo CD and Helm charts.

How It Works

1. Code Checkout: The pipeline starts with code checkout from the repository.

2. Build and Test: The application is built and tested using Maven.

3. Static Code Analysis: SonarQube performs detailed static code analysis to ensure code quality.

4. Docker Image Creation: Docker image is built with the application and tagged with the version.

5. Image Push to Docker Hub: The Docker image is pushed to Docker Hub for centralized image management.

6. Application Deployment: Argo CD and Helm charts manage the deployment to Kubernetes.

7. GitOps Approach: Changes to the application trigger automated updates on the Kubernetes cluster.

8. Continuous Monitoring: Kubernetes ensures high availability and monitoring of deployed applications.
