🚀 DevSecOps Netflix Clone CI/CD Pipeline with Monitoring (Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana)

In this blog, I’m not just deploying a Netflix clone — I’m walking you through a real-world DevSecOps pipeline that integrates: CI/CD automation Security scanning (shift-left approach) Containerization & orchestration Observability & monitoring Practical trade-offs and mistakes most tutorials ignore If you're aiming to become a serious DevOps/Cloud Engineer, this is the kind of project that actually matters. This project simulates a mini production environment, not just a demo. 🏗️ Architecture Overview Here’s what we built: CI/CD → Jenkins pipeline Code Quality → SonarQube Security Scanning → Trivy + OWASP Dependency Check Containerization → Docker Orchestration → Kubernetes Monitoring Stack: Prometheus (metrics) Node Exporter (system metrics) Grafana (visualization) ⚙️ Step-by-Step Breakdown (With Real Insights) 1. Infrastructure Setup (AWS EC2) Ubuntu 22.04 instance (T2 Large) Open ports: 8080, 9000, 3000, 9090, 9100 ⚠️ Reality Check: Opening all ports is fine for learning —
