🚀 ANSIBLE: CI/CD Pipeline with Ansible + Git + Docker

Description

🚀 In this video, we build a complete **CI/CD Pipeline using Git, Docker, and Ansible** from scratch, designed for real-world production environments. You will learn how a developer can simply push code to **GitHub**, and the system will automatically build, package, and deploy the application to a live server with **zero downtime**. We start with a simple **Node.js application**, then containerize it using Docker, and push the image to Docker Hub. From there, **GitHub Actions** handles the CI/CD process and triggers deployment using Ansible. On the production side (EC2 server), Ansible connects via SSH, pulls the latest image, and performs a **rolling update** to ensure the app stays online during deployment. This project also demonstrates how to upgrade from a basic deployment (stop/start) to a more advanced **zero-downtime strategy using Nginx and rolling deployment**. 📦 Project structure is clean and easy to follow, including: * Application source code * Dockerfile and Docker Compose * Ansible playbooks * GitHub Actions workflow 🔐 You will also learn how to configure **GitHub Secrets** for secure automation: DOCKER_USERNAME, DOCKER_PASSWORD, and SSH_KEY. 🔥 By the end of this project, you will understand: * How CI/CD pipelines work in practice * How to automate deployments with Ansible * How to build and push Docker images * How to deploy remotely to a server * How to achieve **Zero Downtime Deployment** Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more real-world DevOps projects 🚀
