EOF

Deploy Infrastructure

# Plan the deployment
terraform plan

# Apply the infrastructure
terraform apply

# Save outputs for later use
terraform output > ../outputs.txt

2. Container Registry Setup

Create ECR Repository

# Create ECR repository
aws ecr create-repository --repository-name jobhive/backend --region us-east-1

# Get login token
aws ecr get-login-password --region us-east-1 | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin 123456789.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

Build and Push Images

#!/bin/bash
# build-and-push.sh

set -e

# Configuration
AWS_ACCOUNT_ID="123456789"
AWS_REGION="us-east-1"
ECR_REPOSITORY="jobhive/backend"
IMAGE_TAG="latest"

# Get ECR login
aws ecr get-login-password --region $AWS_REGION | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin $AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.$AWS_REGION.amazonaws.com

# Build Docker image
echo "Building Docker image..."
docker build -f compose/production/django/Dockerfile -t $ECR_REPOSITORY:$IMAGE_TAG .

# Tag for ECR
ECR_URI="$AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.$AWS_REGION.amazonaws.com/$ECR_REPOSITORY:$IMAGE_TAG"
docker tag $ECR_REPOSITORY:$IMAGE_TAG $ECR_URI

# Push to ECR
echo "Pushing image to ECR..."
docker push $ECR_URI

echo "Image pushed successfully: $ECR_URI"

3. Secrets Management

#!/bin/bash
# migrate-secrets.sh

# Database credentials
aws secretsmanager create-secret \
    --name "jobhive/database" \
    --description "PostgreSQL database credentials" \
    --secret-string '{
        "engine": "postgres",
        "host": "jobhive-db-cluster.cluster-xyz.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com",

Health Checks and Monitoring

1. Application Health Check Endpoint

# In Django settings
HEALTH_CHECK_SETTINGS = {
    'PING_URL': '/health/',
    'DATABASE_CHECK': True,
    'CACHE_CHECK': True,
    'CELERY_CHECK': True
}

# views.py
from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.db import connections
from django.core.cache import cache
import redis

def health_check(request):
    """Comprehensive health check endpoint."""
    health_status = {
        'status': 'healthy',
        'timestamp': datetime.now().isoformat(),
        'checks': {}
    }
    
    # Database check
    try:
        connections['default'].cursor()
        health_status['checks']['database'] = 'healthy'
    except Exception as e:
        health_status['checks']['database'] = f'unhealthy: {str(e)}'
        health_status['status'] = 'unhealthy'
    
    # Cache check
    try:
        cache.set('health_check', 'ok', 10)
        cache.get('health_check')
        health_status['checks']['cache'] = 'healthy'
    except Exception as e:
        health_status['checks']['cache'] = f'unhealthy: {str(e)}'
        health_status['status'] = 'unhealthy'
    
    # Celery check
    try:
        from celery import current_app
        inspect = current_app.control.inspect()
        stats = inspect.stats()
        if stats:
            health_status['checks']['celery'] = 'healthy'
        else:

    except Exception as e:
        health_status['checks']['celery'] = f'unhealthy: {str(e)}'
    
    status_code = 200 if health_status['status'] == 'healthy' else 503
    return JsonResponse(health_status, status=status_code)

2. CloudWatch Alarms

    --dimensions Name=ServiceName,Value=jobhive-web Name=ClusterName,Value=jobhive-production \
    --alarm-actions arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789:jobhive-alerts

# Database connection alarm
aws cloudwatch put-metric-alarm \
    --alarm-name "jobhive-db-connection-count" \
    --alarm-description "Alert when DB connections are high" \
    --metric-name DatabaseConnections \
    --namespace AWS/RDS \
    --statistic Average \
    --period 300 \
    --evaluation-periods 2 \
    --threshold 80 \

    --dimensions Name=DBInstanceIdentifier,Value=jobhive-db \
    --alarm-actions arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789:jobhive-alerts

Security Configuration

1. IAM Roles and Policies

// ECS Task Execution Role Policy
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "ecr:GetAuthorizationToken",
        "ecr:BatchCheckLayerAvailability",
        "ecr:GetDownloadUrlForLayer",
        "ecr:BatchGetImage",
        "logs:CreateLogStream",
        "logs:PutLogEvents",
        "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue"
      ],
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}

// Application Task Role Policy
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:GetObject",
        "s3:PutObject",
        "s3:DeleteObject",
        "s3:ListBucket"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::jobhive-media-production/*",
        "arn:aws:s3:::jobhive-static-production/*"
      ]
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:123456789:secret:jobhive/*"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

2. Security Groups

# Web application security group
aws ec2 create-security-group \
    --group-name jobhive-web-sg \
    --description "Security group for JobHive web application"

# Allow traffic from ALB only
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
    --group-id sg-web-application \
    --protocol tcp \
    --port 8000 \
    --source-group sg-alb-external

# Database security group - allow from web app only
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
    --group-id sg-rds-database \
    --protocol tcp \
    --port 5432 \
    --source-group sg-web-application

Backup and Recovery

1. Database Backup

# Automated RDS snapshots are configured via Terraform
# Manual snapshot for deployment
aws rds create-db-snapshot \
    --db-instance-identifier jobhive-db \
    --db-snapshot-identifier jobhive-db-pre-deployment-$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)

2. Application Data Backup

# S3 cross-region replication is configured via Terraform
# Manual backup script
aws s3 sync s3://jobhive-media-production s3://jobhive-backups-$(date +%Y%m%d)

Rollback Procedures

1. Application Rollback

#!/bin/bash
# rollback.sh

PREVIOUS_TASK_DEFINITION_ARN="arn:aws:ecs:us-east-1:123456789:task-definition/jobhive-web-task:123"
CLUSTER_NAME="jobhive-production"

echo "Rolling back to previous task definition..."

# Rollback web service
aws ecs update-service \
    --cluster $CLUSTER_NAME \
    --service jobhive-web \
    --task-definition $PREVIOUS_TASK_DEFINITION_ARN

# Wait for rollback to complete
aws ecs wait services-stable \
    --cluster $CLUSTER_NAME \
    --services jobhive-web

echo "Rollback completed successfully!"

2. Database Rollback

# Restore from snapshot (if needed)
aws rds restore-db-instance-from-db-snapshot \
    --db-instance-identifier jobhive-db-restored \
    --db-snapshot-identifier jobhive-db-pre-deployment-20240215120000

Post-Deployment Verification

1. Smoke Tests

#!/bin/bash
# smoke-tests.sh

API_BASE_URL="https://api.jobhive.com"

echo "Running post-deployment smoke tests..."

# Test health endpoint
echo "Testing health endpoint..."
health_response=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" $API_BASE_URL/health/)
if [ "$health_response" -eq 200 ]; then
  echo "✅ Health check passed"
else
  echo "❌ Health check failed (HTTP $health_response)"
  exit 1
fi

# Test API authentication
echo "Testing API authentication..."
auth_response=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" -X POST $API_BASE_URL/api/auth/login/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email":"[email protected]","password":"wrongpassword"}')
if [ "$auth_response" -eq 400 ]; then
  echo "✅ Authentication endpoint working"
else
  echo "❌ Authentication endpoint failed (HTTP $auth_response)"
  exit 1
fi

# Test database connectivity
echo "Testing database connectivity..."
db_test_response=$(curl -s $API_BASE_URL/health/ | jq -r '.checks.database')
if [ "$db_test_response" = "healthy" ]; then
  echo "✅ Database connectivity confirmed"
else
  echo "❌ Database connectivity failed"
  exit 1
fi

echo "All smoke tests passed! 🎉"

2. Performance Verification

# Load testing with Apache Bench
ab -n 100 -c 10 https://api.jobhive.com/health/

# Monitor response times
curl -w "@curl-format.txt" -s -o /dev/null https://api.jobhive.com/api/v1/users/me/
