Built a complete CI/CD solution to set up and launch the environment for each PR, using Jenkins and Argo CD based on Kubernetes. Jenkins creates the chart for the PR, builds and pushes images to a private repository, and triggers Argo to build the environment using the Git repository.

The project involved setting up and managing an AWS infrastructure to support an Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster utilizing GPU instances. The primary objective was to test electric vehicle behavior under various scenarios while focusing on efficient resource utilization, cost monitoring, and optimization.

KEY COMPONENTS

• AWS Infrastructure: Deployed infrastructure on AWS, leveraging services such as EKS for container orchestration and EC2 for GPU instances. Architected the system to handle high computational demands for running simulations and analytics on electric vehicle performance.

• EKS Cluster: Designed and implemented an EKS cluster to manage microservices dedicated to testing different driving scenarios for electric cars. Ensured proper scaling of GPU workloads based on demand, enabling resource efficiency. Used smart spot instance management to reduce pricing drastically. Developed Jenkins CI/CD pipelines to automate the deployment of applications and updates within the EKS cluster. Used Terraform to deploy new clusters on demand. Integrated testing and validation stages in the CI/CD process to ensure code quality and system reliability before production deployments.

The project aimed to create a comprehensive DevOps environment on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) utilizing Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). The setup facilitated continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) through Jenkins, providing individual deployment environments for each developer and establishing a streamlined workflow with GitHub for version control.

• Created isolated deployment environments for each developer using Kubernetes namespaces to provide dedicated spaces for their development work.
• Automated the provisioning of these environments through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, such as Terraform and ArgoCD, to ensure consistency and rapid setup for new developers.
• Integrated GitHub with Jenkins to trigger CI/CD processes on every push to a developer’s branch.
• Configured webhooks in GitHub to notify Jenkins of new commits and PRs automatically starting the build and deployment pipeline to the corresponding developer environment.
• Created Jenkins pipelines that were triggered by PR events on GitHub. Once the PR receives approval from the team and passes all CI checks, it can be merged into the main branch and promoted to the next environment, such as staging or production.
