A step‑by‑step guide to building a secure, automated CI/CD pipeline on AWS using Jenkins, GitHub, Argo CD, Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Grafana. This series covers everything from code quality checks and vulnerability scanning to GitOps deployments and monitoring dashboards.

Why CI/CD pipelines are critical for modern cloud deployments.
The importance of integrating security checks, automation, and monitoring.
A quick overview of the tools used: Jenkins, GitHub, OWASP, SonarQube, Trivy, Docker, Argo CD, Prometheus, and Grafana.
Developer → GitHub → Jenkins CI/CD → AWS EKS.
CI pipeline handles code quality, security scans, and image builds.
CD pipeline handles deployment automation and monitoring.
Monitoring stack (Prometheus + Grafana) ensures visibility.
Notifications via email keep stakeholders updated.
Code Checkout → Jenkins pulls code from GitHub.
Dependency Scanning (OWASP) → Detects vulnerable libraries.
Code Quality (SonarQube) → Enforces coding standards and quality gates.
Security Scan (Trivy) → Scans filesystem and Docker images for vulnerabilities.
Docker Build & Push → Builds container images and pushes to Docker Hub.
Version Update → Updates Kubernetes manifests with new image tags.
Commit Back to GitHub → Ensures GitOps workflow consistency.
Trigger from CI → Jenkins CD job starts.
Argo CD Deployment → Syncs manifests from GitHub to AWS EKS.
Kubernetes Execution → Deploys updated pods/services.
Monitoring:
Prometheus → Collects metrics.
Grafana → Visualizes dashboards.
Notifications → Email alerts on pipeline completion.
Jenkins → CI/CD automation.
GitHub → Source control + GitOps repo.
OWASP Dependency Check → Security scanning.
SonarQube → Code quality analysis.
Trivy → Vulnerability scanning.
Docker Hub → Image registry.
Argo CD → GitOps deployment.
AWS EKS → Managed Kubernetes cluster.
Prometheus & Grafana → Monitoring and visualization.
Email (SMTP) → Notifications.
