ArgoStream Project Summary:
The aim of this project is to *design and implement a fully automated AWS DevOps pipeline* for deploying cloud-native applications using *Kubernetes and GitOps practices. By integrating **AWS CLI, Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions, and Argo CD*, this project enables:
– *Efficient Infrastructure Management* – Automating AWS resource provisioning using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform.
– *Seamless Application Deployment* – Containerizing a .NET application and deploying it to AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).
– *Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)* – Automating build, test, and deployment workflows using GitHub Actions.
– *GitOps-Based Continuous Delivery* – Ensuring smooth and version-controlled Kubernetes deployments with Argo CD.
– *Security & Access Control* – Managing AWS IAM roles and permissions for secure cloud operations.
By achieving these objectives, the project aims to *streamline DevOps workflows, reduce deployment complexity, and enhance scalability in cloud environments
