Introduction to Deploying a Zomato Clone
Platforms like Zomato have set a high standard for user experience and operational efficiency in the fast-paced world of food delivery services. Building a Zomato clone is a great project to explore modern software delivery practices, especially when combined with DevSecOps principles. This guide walks you through deploying a Zomato clone using DevSecOps CI/CD techniques on an AWS EC2 instance, incorporating tools like Jenkins, Docker, Trivy, SonarQube, and OWASP Dependency Check.
Setting Up the Environment: Ubuntu 22.04 T2 Large Instance
- Launch the Instance: Launch a T2 Large Ubuntu 22.04 EC2 instance from the AWS console.
- Access the Instance: Once the instance is up, use SSH to access it:
ssh -i “your-key.pem” ubuntu@your-ec2-instance - Update the Packages: Run the following commands to update the system.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Installing Jenkins, Docker, and Trivy
Installing Jenkins
- Install Java: Jenkins requires Java to run, so install it with:
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk -y - Install Jenkins:
curl -fsSL https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/jenkins.io.key | sudo tee \
/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc > /dev/null
echo deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc] \
https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian binary/ | sudo tee \
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install jenkins -y
- Start Jenkins:
sudo systemctl start jenkins
Installing Docker
Docker will allow you to containerize the Zomato clone application.
- Install Docker:
sudo apt install docker.io -y - Enable Docker:
sudo systemctl enable docker
Installing Trivy
Trivy is used to scan your Docker images for vulnerabilities.
- Install Trivy:
sudo apt install trivy -y
Configuring Jenkins and Essential Plugins
Once Jenkins is installed, access its UI through the browser (http://your-ec2-ip:8080). Complete the initial setup, and then:
- Install Plugins:
- Docker Pipeline
- GitHub Integration
- SonarQube Scanner
- OWASP Dependency Check Plugin
To install these, go to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins.
Creating a Jenkins Pipeline for Continuous Integration and Delivery
Now, set up a Jenkins pipeline for the Zomato clone.
- Pipeline Definition:
- In Jenkins, create a new pipeline project.
- In the pipeline section, define the stages:
- Cloning the code from GitHub
- Running static code analysis using SonarQube
- Running OWASP Dependency Check for security vulnerabilities
- Building the Docker image
- Pushing the Docker image to a Docker repository
- Deploying the Docker container
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage(‘Clone Repository’) {
steps {
git ‘https://github.com/your-repository/zomato-clone.git’
}
}
stage(‘SonarQube Analysis’) {
steps {
script {
// Add SonarQube Analysis
}
}
}
stage(‘Dependency Check’) {
steps {
dependencyCheck additionalArguments: ‘–project Zomato –format XML’
}
}
stage(‘Build Docker Image’) {
steps {
script {
docker.build(‘zomato-clone:latest’)
}
}
}
stage(‘Push Docker Image’) {
steps {
script {
docker.withRegistry(‘https://registry.hub.docker.com’, ‘docker-credentials’) {
docker.image(‘zomato-clone:latest’).push(‘latest’)
}
}
}
}
stage(‘Deploy’) {
steps {
script {
docker.run(‘zomato-clone:latest’, ‘-d -p 80:80’)
}
}
}
}
}
Integrating SonarQube for Static Code Analysis
SonarQube helps in identifying code quality issues.
- Set up SonarQube Server: Run SonarQube locally or use a managed service.
- Jenkins Integration: Configure Jenkins to use the SonarQube scanner plugin.
- Scan the Code: Add a step in your Jenkinsfile to trigger the SonarQube analysis.
Incorporating OWASP Dependency Check for Security
OWASP Dependency Check scans for vulnerable dependencies.
- Jenkins Plugin: Ensure the OWASP Dependency Check plugin is installed.
- Add Scan in Pipeline: Configure the pipeline’s OWASP scan to ensure secure dependencies.
Building and Pushing Docker Images
Building the Docker image involves packaging the application into a container. This is done within the pipeline using:
docker build -t zomato-clone .
docker tag zomato-clone:latest your-docker-repo/zomato-clone:latest
docker push your-docker-repo/zomato-clone:latest
Deploying the Application with Docker
Once the image is built and pushed, run the application on the EC2 instance:
docker run -d -p 80:80 your-docker-repo/zomato-clone:latest
This will expose the application to the internet via port 80.
Securing the Deployment with Trivy
After deploying, it is crucial to secure the image with Trivy.
- Run Trivy Scan: Run Trivy on the Docker image:
trivy image your-docker-repo/zomato-clone:latest - Fix Vulnerabilities: Review the results and fix any critical vulnerabilities.
Terminating AWS EC2 Instances for Efficient Resource Management
Once you’re done, it’s essential to terminate the EC2 instance to avoid unnecessary charges:
- Terminate the Instance:
aws ec2 terminate-instances –instance-ids your-instance-id - Verify: Ensure the instance is no longer running by checking your EC2 dashboard.
Conclusion
Following this guide, you’ve successfully deployed a Zomato clone with an entire DevSecOps CI/CD pipeline. With Jenkins managing the pipeline, SonarQube and OWASP ensuring code security, and Docker enabling seamless deployment, this setup provides a secure, scalable, and efficient software delivery process.
