Automation and pipelines

Smaller pieces of real automation work, published as cleaned copies with no secrets or account details in them.

Jenkins pipeline for WordPress on AWS

A Jenkins pipeline I built at StackIT for a WordPress site on AWS: a SonarQube quality gate, the database restored on Amazon RDS with Ansible, a versioned Docker image pushed to Amazon ECR, and Slack updates along the way. Shared as a cleaned copy, with notes on what I'd change now.

  • Jenkins
  • Docker
  • Ansible
  • SonarQube
  • Amazon RDS, S3 and ECR
  • Slack
