CI/CD Automated Deployment Pipeline

An end-to-end Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline setup using Docker, GitHub Actions, and Netlify for automated build, testing, and cloud deployment.

---

Architecture & Tech Stack

• Version Control: Git & GitHub
• CI/CD Orchestration: GitHub Actions
• Containerization: Docker & Dockerfile
• Deployment Target: Netlify / Cloud Hosting
• Frontend Artifact: Static Web App (index.html)

• Containerization & Testing: Docker (Isolated CI Build/Testing Environment)
• Deployment Target: Netlify (Automated Static Hosting)

Key Features & Workflow Steps

1. Automated Triggers: Pipeline automatically runs on every push or pull_request to the main branch.
2. Containerization: Clean multi-stage container building verified via Dockerfile.
3. Zero-Downtime Deployment: Live site updates automatically upon passing pipeline checks.

---

Repository Structure

• .github/workflows/ : GitHub Actions workflow YAML files
• Dockerfile : Docker container configuration
• index.html : Main application entry point
• README.md : Pipeline documentation

Pipeline Debugging & Fixes Log

Issue / Error	Root Cause	Resolution
Action Syntax Error	YAML indentation error inside .github/workflows.	Refactored workflow YAML spacing and verified via linter.
Container Build Failure	Invalid Docker base image reference or build path.	Corrected Dockerfile instructions and context paths.
