ABSTRACT

In this project, I have implemented a CI/CD pipeline, which contains a set of

practices and tools that automate the software development lifecycle. It includes

continuous integration, which involves building of code automatically and

continuously, and continuous delivery or deployment, which involves deploying

code changes to staging & production environments automatically and

continuously. The goal of a CI/CD pipeline is to increase efficiency, speed up the

delivery of software, and improve the quality of software by catching defects and

regressions early in the development process. By implementing a CI/CD pipeline,

organizations can achieve faster time to market, better quality software, and

improved collaboration between development and operations teams.

CHAPTER-3

INTERNSHIP MANAGEMENT

3.1 PROJECT / INTERNSHIP SUMMARY

I have done my internship at Amar Infotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad. The internship was for
duration of about 12 weeks and it involved a lot of learning activities all around. My internship
was based on DevOps Technology.

3.2 PURPOSE

The main purpose of a Development Automation is to automate the software delivery process by
providing a reliable and repeatable way to build, test, and deploy code changes. A CD pipeline is
a system of stages that helps you to deploy and integrate new code into your software. It's a way
to ensure that all the pieces come together correctly, and to avoid any problems that might arise
from making changes after deployment.

3.3 OBJECTIVE

Following are the major objectives of the proposed system:

● To enable teams to release a constant flow of software updates.

● To quicken release cycles.
● To lower costs, and reduce the risks associated with development.

3.4 SCOPE(What it can do and can’t do)

The scope of development automation is to create ease for production team not only to create a
quality product but also maintain different version of code. In addition, the pipelines also
automate the deployment process which removes the manual hassle of deploying the code to
server.

TeamID:288543 Internship Management

3.5 TECHNOLOGY AND LITERATURE REVIEW

● There are ample technologies used in my project which are yaml, Javascript, Html, Css
and so on. However, there are few tools which entail jenkins, docker, docker compose,
aws that play a significant role in achieving automation and also making development
environments more feasible than before.

3.5.1 Yaml

● YAML stands for YAML Ain’t Markup Language.

● YAML is a very simple, text-based, human-readable language used to exchange data
between people and computers.
● YAML is a data serialization language similar to XML or JSON. However, it is much
more human readable and concise.

3.5.2 Javascript

● JavaScript (js) is a light-weight object-oriented programming language which is used by

several websites for scripting the webpages. It is an interpreted, full-fledged
programming language that enables dynamic interactivity on websites when applied to an
HTML document.
● With JavaScript, users can build modern web applications to interact directly without
reloading the page every time. The traditional website uses js to provide several forms of
interactivity and simplicity.

3.5.3 Jenkins

● Jenkins is an open source automation tool written in Java programming language that
allows continuous integration.
● Jenkins builds and tests our software projects which continuously makes it easier for
developers to integrate changes to the project, and makes it easier for users to obtain a
fresh build.
● It also allows us to continuously deliver our software by integrating with a large number
of testing and deployment technologies.

GTU 6 NSIT
TeamID:288543 Internship Management

● Jenkins offers a straightforward way to set up a continuous integration or continuous

delivery environment for almost any combination of languages and source code
repositories using pipelines, as well as automating other routine development tasks.
● With the help of Jenkins, organizations can speed up the software development process
through automation. Jenkins adds development life-cycle processes of all kinds, including
build, document, test, package, stage, deploy static analysis and much more.

3.5.4 Docker

● Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. Docker
enables you to separate your applications from your infrastructure so you can deliver
software quickly.
● With Docker, you can manage your infrastructure in the same ways you manage your
applications. By taking advantage of Docker’s methodologies for shipping, testing and
deploying code quickly, you can significantly reduce the delay between writing code and
running it in production.
● Docker streamlines the development lifecycle by allowing developers to work in
standardized environments using local containers which provide your applications and
services. Containers are great for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD)
workflows.

3.5.5 Docker compose

● Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With

Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services. Then, with a

single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration.

3.5.6 Github

● GitHub is a web-based interface that uses Git, the open source version control software
that lets multiple people make separate changes to web pages at the same time. As
Carpenter notes, because it allows for real-time collaboration, GitHub encourages teams
to work together to build and edit their site content.

GTU 7 NSIT
TeamID:288543 Internship Management

3.5.7 AWS

● Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the foremost leading vendor of cloud services and
infrastructure, dominating the cloud computing market since its infancy. The term AWS
applies to a collection of Amazon’s numerous cloud computing applications.
● With no upfront costs and a usage-based billing system, the cloud services described in
this AWS overview provide an affordable alternative to physical servers.

3.6 PROJECT / INTERNSHIP PLANNING

Internship planning is part of project management, which relates to the use of schedules such as
charts to plan and subsequently report progress within the project environment. Initially, the
project scope is defined and the appropriate methods for completing the project are determined.
The durations for the various tasks necessary to complete the work are listed and grouped into a
work breakdown structure.Project planning is often used to organize different areas of a project,
including project plans, workloads and the management of teams and individuals.

3.6.1 Project / Internship development approach and justification

The Devops methodology is adopted for the production of development automation as it

provides several benefits such as:

● Faster, better product delivery.

● Faster issue resolution and reduced complexity.
● Greater scalability and availability.
● More stable operating environments.
● Better resource utilization.
● Greater automation.

GTU 8 NSIT
TeamID:288543 Internship Management

Plan: Professionals determine the commercial need and gather end-user opinions throughout this
level. In this step, they design a project plan to optimize business impact and produce the
intended result.
Code: During this point, the code is being developed. To simplify the design process, the
developer team employs lifecycle DevOps tools and extensions like Git that assist them in
preventing safety problems and bad coding standards.
Build: After programmers have completed their task, they use tools such as Maven and Gradle to
submit the code to the common code source.
Test: To assure software integrity, the product is first delivered to the test platform to execute
various sorts of screening such as user acceptability testing, safety testing, integration checking,
speed testing, and so on.
Release: At this point, the build is prepared to be deployed in the operational environment. The
DevOps department prepares updates or sends several versions to production when the build
satisfies all checks based on the organizational demands.

GTU 9 NSIT
TeamID:288543 Internship Management

Deploy: At this point, Infrastructure-as-Code assists in creating the operational infrastructure and
subsequently publishes the build using various DevOps lifecycle tools.
Operate: This version is now convenient for users to utilize. With tools including Chef, the
management department takes care of server configuration and deployment at this point.
Monitor:The DevOps workflow is observed at this level depending on data gathered from
consumer behavior, application efficiency, and other sources. The ability to observe the complete
surroundings aids teams in identifying bottlenecks affecting the production and operations teams'
performance.

Project Cost Estimation

There are several factors which plays significant role in estimating the overall cost of project
development which are given below:

Hardware and Software Cost: It includes cost of various software tools which requires licenses
to operate as well as hardware running on the cloud with pay as you go facility

Testing and Quality Assurance Costs: This includes the cost of testing and quality assurance
activities, such as unit testing, integration testing, performance testing, and security testing, to
ensure the accuracy and reliability of development automation.

Documentation Costs: This includes the cost of training documenting the project deliverables,
including user manuals, technical documentation, and other project-related documentation.

Project Management Costs: This includes the cost of project management activities, such as
project planning, monitoring, and coordination, to ensure the smooth execution of the project and
timely delivery of project milestones.

3.7 INTERNSHIP SCHEDULING

● Project Scheduling is the culmination of a planning activity that is primary component of

software project management.
● When combined with estimation method sand risk analysis, scheduling, establishes a road
map for the project management.
● Scheduling begins with the process composition. The characteristics of the project are
used to adapt an appropriate task set for the work to be done.

GTU 11 NSIT
TeamID:288543 System Analysis

CHAPTER-4

SYSTEM ANALYSIS

4.1 STUDY OF CURRENT SYSTEM

● In the current system, developers were pushing the code to the staging server via ftp, and
once the code was tested properly by the testing team, developers pushed the code from
the local server to the production server. All this process required human interaction, and
developers also needed to manually push the code every time they made changes.

4.2 PROBLEMS AND WEAKNESS OF CURRENT SYSTEM

● Lack of security: An employee-managed system often operates without IT oversight.

FTP systems are at risk because they are not properly managed and because most FTP
systems cannot encrypt the data.
● Lack of reporting: FTP does not provide any status information about files sent or
received and does not provide notification upon the receipt or transmission of data.
● Lack of automation: Standard FTP servers don’t provide automation, requiring manual
processes and wasting valuable time.

4.3 SYSTEM FEASIBILITY

● Feasibility is the measure of how beneficial the development of information system will
be to an organization. Feasibility is the analysis of risks, costs and benefits relating to
economics, technology and user operation.
● There are several types of feasibility depending on the aspect they covers. Some
important feasibilities is as follows:
1. Operational Feasibility
2. Technical Feasibility
3. Scheduling Feasibility
4. Economic Feasibility

GTU 12 NSIT
TeamID:288543 System Analysis

i. Operational Feasibility

● Operational feasibility is the measure of how well a proposed system solves the
problems, and takes advantage of the opportunities identified during scope definition and
how it satisfies the requirements identified in the requirements analysis phase of system
development.
● Development automation eliminates the manual hassle of building, deploying, and
maintaining different versions of code.
● It uses a devops methodology that integrates several tools to automate the software
development process.

ii. Technical Feasibility

● From a technical perspective, Jenkins is a widely used tool that can be easily integrated
with other software development tools and technologies such as Git, SVN, Docker, and
Kubernetes. This makes it a feasible option for automating various stages of the
development process, including building, testing, and deployment.

iii. Scheduling Feasibility

● The feasibility of implementing development automation via Jenkins depends on the

timeline and resources available for the implementation, as well as the level of support
and commitment from stakeholders within the organization.

iv. Economic Feasibility

● The economic feasibility of using CI/CD pipeline depends on various factors such as the
size of the development team, the complexity of the project, the frequency of code
changes, and the available infrastructure. Here are some ways that CI/CD pipeline can be
economically feasible:
1. Improved Efficiency: With CI/CD pipeline, developers can save time and reduce
errors by automating the build, test, and deployment process. This can lead to
faster time to market and reduced development costs.

GTU 13 NSIT
TeamID:288543 System Analysis

2. Lower Infrastructure Costs: Jenkins can be run on low-cost hardware, and it

can also be easily integrated with cloud services like AWS, Azure, and Google
Cloud. This can save costs associated with hardware procurement, maintenance,
and upgrades.
3. Open Source: Jenkins is an open-source tool, which means there are no licensing
costs associated with using it. Also it contains a wealth of resources and vast
community support available for users.

CHAPTER-6

IMPLEMENTATION

6.1 Implementation of Developement Automation

● To begin with, I initialize my project by setting up an EC2 server on AWS cloud. After
that, I logged in to the server using SSH keys and installed node js and jenkins
automation tools on that server.
● Then, I have configured jenkins and installed following plugins:
○ Email notification: To trigger email whenever successful build completed for
docker container.
○ Github Webhook: To check any new code changes pushed into the Git repository.
● After that, jenkins continuously monitors changes on github repository using webhooks
and as soon as new code is pushed or changes are made to repository jenkins execute the
pipelines.
● In addition, I have built total three pipelines for following purposes:
○ First Pipeline: Builds docker file and creates a container from the docker image
and deploy it to the staging server.
○ Second Pipeline: Triggers an email to QA team when the build is successful.
○ Third Pipeline: DevOps will manually run it via jenkins when signoff is approved
by QA team, and it will deploy docker container to production server
● When developers push the code to the github repository, Jenkins will fetch the code from
the repository and execute the CI/CD pipeline, which builds a docker file, creates a
docker image from it, and executes docker commands without any human
interaction.Jenkins will also construct a docker container from the image and deploy it to
the staging server.
● Moreover, at that point, another pipeline for email notification is built, which will notify
the QA team that code is deployed on the staging server, and if code fails to deploy, it
will send an acknowledgement to the developer regarding the errors.

GTU 17 NSIT
TeamID:288543 Implementation

● After deploying to the staging server QA will perform the testing on the application; the
next phase is QA signoff; if the tester approves the code, developer will deploy it on the
production environment; if denied, QA will manually send an email to the developer.

CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION

7.1 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP

In this internship I had worked on Devops methodology at Amar Infotech pvt.ltd, for this
internship I learnt so many best practices of Devops. I learnt about different technologies like
YAML, AWS, DOCKER, CHEF.

Firstly, I begin with the AWS cloud services because without a remote server I won't be able to
work on the project as EC2 was the only thing on which I deployed the application. Secondly,
read all the documentation of docker to create a container which will virtualize the server and run
the application on the lightweight environment which will not only increase the response time
but all utilize the server resources efficiently.

Probing Ahead, gain the knowledge about the ci cd pipelines and perform the development of
pipelines also configure smtp for the email notification which is invoked when an event occurs.
