This solution is designed to reduce the new feature release time using DevOps best practices and convert the application into Microservices that could be deployed on Elastic Kubernetes Service resulting in a highly secure, highly scalable solution on AWS. In addition, the Automation solution for repeatable tasks using AWS Lambda results in work efficiency and cost optimization.

The proposed solution allows applications to be deployed into multiple environments dev, QA, UAT & Prod. For source code management, Git is used and for Infrastructure provisioning Terraform templates are being used. Docker images were built using Jenkins and pushed to AWS Elastic Container Registry. DevOps best practices are followed to implement Continuous Integration, Continuous delivery, and deployment to support hotfixes, and rollback on failure for multi-environment deployment.
