Spring Boot Shopping Cart Web App: Project with git-repo, all files and steps

 Building a Spring Boot Shopping Cart Web App: A Practical Guide

1. Creating VM Machines on AWS

In the initial phase of our journey, we set up a robust development environment on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This involved creating virtual machines to serve as the foundation for our project. The detailed steps and snapshots of required vm machines on AWS can be found below.

 2. Kubernetes (K8s) Setup

With our VMs in place, the next step was to configure Kubernetes for efficient container orchestration. The steps for setting up K8s and joining nodes to the cluster are outlined.

 3. Configuring Security Groups with Ports

Ensuring secure communication within our environment is paramount. We established security groups to control incoming and outgoing traffic, implementing port restrictions for enhanced safety.

4. Building Jenkins Pipelines for Success

Our Jenkins setup included defining pipelines to automate the build, test, and deployment phases. A successful pipeline is outlined in detail.
