This project is to build Jenkins EC2 on AWS and use Jenkins to run our Jenkinsfile to deploy our python application

NOTE: Make sure you have terraform installed, create terraform.tfvars file with the variables (ec2-ami, region & your public ssh key) then do the following:

cd terraform

terraform init

terraform apply -auto-approve

NOTE: replace the public-ip with the instance_public_ip that will showup in terraform output

ssh ubuntu@public-ip

vim install.sh

chmod +x install.sh

./install.sh
