Prerequisites:
- General: Understanding of Instances, LoadBalancers, SecurityGroups/Firewalls, Apache, Wildfly, DB Instance, Redis, Elastic Search.
- Experience of Apache web server, Wildfly application server, Infra-as-code, Terraform
- Permission and account to the provision of the above resources.
- On-premise/private cloud requirements
- Cloud Interface access to the provision above infra
- Public cloud requirements
- AWS or Azure account
Infrastructure Design:
Infrastructure Components:
- Basic Requirements: Size, Memory
- Infrastructure type: Services, DB servers, Storage, etc, LoadBalancer, DNS
- Environments to set up (Development, Production, etc)
Dev, QA, UAT and Prod
Deployment Architecture:
- Every code commit is well reviewed and merged to master branch through Pull Requests
- Each merge triggers a new CI Pipeline that ensures CodeQuality and CI Tests before building the artefacts.
- Artifacts are version controlled and pushed to Artifactory like Nexus. https://repo.egovernments.org
- After successful CI Jenkins bakes the Docker Images with the Latest Artefacts and pushed the newly baked docker image to Docker Repo.
- Deployment Pipeline pulls the Image and pushes to the corresponding Env.
Deployment Scripts: https://github.com/egovernments/egovdevops/tree/master/ear-deployer
Deployment Configurations:
- Structure of git repo
- Deployment git repo - Environment Configuration (Dev.yml, QA.yml, etc...)
An example configuration can be found at ear-deployer
Git Strategy:
Public & Private repo (platform & implementation) -
Public Repositories: All the eGov Platform related projects were kept open, and it's under open source.
DIGIT BPA: https://github.com/egovernments/digit-bpa.git
Folder Structure:
Private Repositories: Usually our Implementation/Customer specific Projects goes under the private repo.
With some exceptions, eGov Platform projects were made private like our DIGIT-BPA-DCR.
DIGIT DCR: https://github.com/egovernments/digit-dcr.git
Folder Structure:
Creating an ERP cluster:
- Spinning up VM on cloud provider/on-premise
- Apache Web Server (Configuring Apache2 as a web server and Load Balancer)
- Wildfly Application server
- Elastic Search
- DB setup
- Redis (cache/token/session server) and NFS system (Filestore)

Platform Build and it’s stages:
- Checking out the code from GitHub
- All the necessary packages, and dependencies where pushed/published in the package manager repository (Nexus). This contributes in the continuous integration.
- The maven Build process (includes the JUnit tests) - Here maven helps to build EAR(Enterprise Application aRchive) file.
- An artifact is an assembly of any project assets that you put together to test, deploy or distribute your software solution or its part.
> Examples are a collection of compiled Java classes or a Java application packaged in a Java archive, a Web application as a directory structure or a Web application archive, etc. - Deploy the same to the respective environments:
CI Setup: Configuring Build Jobs - Jenkins, CI Job Structure, Build Flow
CD setup: Deploy a service, Continuous Delivery Pipeline, Deployment Flow.
Two ways of Deployments:
- Manual Deployment - Copy the EAR files on deployment folder and start the server.
- Hot Deployment - using WildFly management console(it always listens at 9990), and using curl upload and publish the EAR.
