DevOps Project Partner for Beyond the Cloud Certificate Program

Main Objective : To establish efficient deployment processes, ensure the health and sustainability of an AWS infrastructure, and design a robust testing environment that supports CI/CD workflows. Tasks and Activities : 1. Deployment Process Design and Implementation : Evaluate current deployment workflows and identify optimization opportunities. Design and implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform , Ansible , or AWS CloudFormation. Set up a CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins , GitHub Actions , or AWS-native tools like CodePipeline . 2. AWS Infrastructure Health Monitoring and Sustainability : Develop a monitoring framework leveraging AWS services such as CloudWatch , CloudTrail , and Elastic Load Balancing . Configure alerts and dashboards for real-time visibility into infrastructure performance and resource utilization. Provide recommendations for cost optimization and sustainability, including scaling strategies and resource management. 3. Testing Environment Planning and Implementation : Design a test environment architecture compatible with the production setup. Implement automated testing workflows for functional, performance, and integration testing using tools like Selenium , JUnit , or Pytest . Create manual testing protocols for scenarios not covered by automation. 4. Documentation and Knowledge Transfer : Create comprehensive documentation for the deployment processes, monitoring setup, and testing workflows. Conduct knowledge-sharing sessions with key stakeholders to ensure smooth handover of the project. Deliverables : Deployment Pipeline : A fully operational and automated deployment pipeline, including IaC scripts and configuration files. Documentation explaining how to manage and scale the pipeline. Monitoring and Sustainability Framework : Configured monitoring tools with dashboards and alerts integrated into the AWS environment. A report detailing insights into infrastructure sustainability and cost-optimization strategies. Testing Environment : A functional testing environment with automated and manual testing workflows. Test cases, results documentation, and any associated testing scripts. Comprehensive Project Documentation : Clear and detailed instructions on managing deployment pipelines, monitoring setups, and testing protocols. Troubleshooting guides and best practices for future reference.
