Once the CI/CD pipeline is set up, any new code commits pushed to the main branch on GitHub will trigger the pipeline. Jenkins will build the application, and SonarQube will analyze the code quality. The Docker image will be pushed to DockerHub, and Argo CD will automatically deploy the application to your Kubernetes cluster.

The project involves building and deploying a Java application using a CI/CD pipeline. The following steps are involved in the process:
-
Version Control: The code is stored in a version control system such as Git, and hosted on GitHub.
-
Continuous Integration: Jenkins is used as the CI server to build the application. Whenever there is a new code commit, Jenkins automatically pulls the code from GitHub and builds it using Maven.
-
Code Quality: SonarQube is used to analyze the code and report on code quality issues such as bugs, vulnerabilities, and code smells. The SonarQube analysis is triggered as part of the Jenkins build pipeline.
-
Containerization: Docker is used to containerize the Java application. The Dockerfile is stored in the Git repository along with the source code. The Dockerfile specifies the environment and dependencies required to run the application.
-
Container Registry: The Docker image is pushed to DockerHub, a public or private Docker registry. The Docker image can be versioned and tagged for easy identification.
-
Continuous Deployment: Argo CD is used to automate the deployment of the containerized application to Kubernetes. Whenever a new version of the application image is pushed to the Git repository, Argo CD will automatically deploy it to the Kubernetes cluster.
