Project Description

The project involves deploying a Portfolio app on AWS S3 using GitHub Actions. Git Hub actions allows you to perform CICD with GitHub Repository integrated.

What is GITHUB Actions?

GitHub Actions is a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform that allows you to automate your build, test, and deployment pipeline. You can create workflows that build and test every pull request to your repository, or deploy merged pull requests to production.

GitHub Actions goes beyond just DevOps and lets you run workflows when other events happen in your repository. For example, you can run a workflow to automatically add the appropriate labels whenever someone creates a new issue in your repository.

GitHub provides Linux, Windows, and macOS virtual machines to run your workflows, or you can host your own self-hosted runners in your own data center or cloud infrastructure.

Project execution:

Step1:Launch an EC2 instance

Git clone:https://github.com/gsbarure/tws-portfolio.git

Step2:Create S3 Bucket

Create IAM User and access key

Attached policies:

If you still gets 403 error access denied, and make ACL public

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "PublicReadForGetBucketObjects",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": "*",
            "Action": "s3:GetObject",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::day86/*" ##Provide your bucket name
        }
    ]
}

Step3:Now,move to GITHUB and setup a workflow

Provide your accesskey/secretkey for integration between GITHUB actions and S3 bucket

Step4:Now create your workflowfile in github

name: my-portfolio-deployment/gajananb #Nameofthedeployment

on:     ##Branch you need to push changes
  push:
    branches:
    - main

jobs:      ##Any name can be provided
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest  #lastest versionofubuntu
    steps:
    - name: Checkout #check out the repository's code into the workflow's execution environment.
      uses: actions/checkout@v1 #Script actions

    - name: Configure AWS Credentials
      uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v1
      with:
        aws-access-key-id: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
        aws-secret-access-key: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
        aws-region: us-east-1

    - name: Deploy static site to S3 bucket
      run: aws s3 sync . s3://day86 --delete #changebuckename

So,once you commit these files should reflect in S3 bucket as we provided below line in main.yml

run: aws s3 sync . s3://day86 --delete #changebuckename

Step5:Try changing something in index.html workflows will get autotriggered

Step6:Whatever changes/files has been made got reflected in S3 bucket

Step7Navigate to Static website hosting and here we go with our website!

Step8:Here you go with #myportfolio..!!

Jenkins vs GitHub Actions:

GitHub Actions Vs Jenkins

Conclusion:

However, it is entirely depends upon you to use Jenkins or GitHub Actions in your project. GitHub Actions are now free to use for public repositories. A pay-as-you-go system is available for private repositories.
