Secure Site Environment with Jump Servers, Zabbix Monitoring, and CI/CD using Terraform

Description:

The Hacker Technologies Project aims to design and implement a robust and secure environment for a web application. The project leverages various cutting-edge technologies to fortify the site's infrastructure against potential cyber threats. The key components of the project include Jump Servers, Zabbix Monitoring, Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, and the utilization of Terraform for infrastructure as code.

1. Jump Servers:

  • Implementing a secure access gateway through Jump Servers to control and monitor access to the site's infrastructure.
  • Employing secure authentication protocols and access controls to ensure only authorized personnel can access critical components.

2. Zabbix Monitoring:

  • Integrating Zabbix for comprehensive monitoring of the entire infrastructure, including servers, applications, and network devices.
  • Setting up alerting mechanisms for proactive identification and response to potential security incidents or performance issues.

3. CI/CD Pipeline:

  • Establishing a CI/CD pipeline to automate the deployment process and ensure rapid, reliable, and secure releases of software updates.
  • Implementing version control and automated testing within the CI/CD pipeline to maintain code integrity and reduce the risk of vulnerabilities.

4. Test Environment:

  • Creating a dedicated test environment within the CI/CD pipeline to simulate and validate changes before they are deployed to the production environment.

5. Terraform for Infrastructure as Code:

  • Utilizing Terraform to define, provision, and manage the infrastructure in a declarative manner.
  • Implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles to enhance repeatability, scalability, and maintainability of the entire infrastructure.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced Security: The implementation of Jump Servers and strict access controls ensures a secure gateway, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
  • Proactive Monitoring: Zabbix provides real-time monitoring and alerting, enabling the quick identification and mitigation of security threats or performance issues.
  • Efficient Deployment: The CI/CD pipeline streamlines the deployment process, reducing downtime and minimizing the window of vulnerability.
  • Scalability and Consistency: Terraform's IaC approach allows for seamless scaling of infrastructure, ensuring consistency across environments.

This Project represents a comprehensive approach to building and maintaining a secure, monitored, and efficiently managed web application environment. Through the integration of these technologies, the project aims to establish a robust foundation for the site's operations while mitigating potential security risks.

How to use

How to run

1. Create AMIs:

  • Create two AMIs:
    • One with Ubuntu 22.04 and PostgreSQL installed.
    • Another with Ubuntu 22.04, PostgreSQL, and the Zabbix Client set up.

2. Set up GitHub Repository:

3. Configure Environment Variables:

  • Copy .env.example to .env in the forked repository.
  • Replace the placeholder variables in .env with your specific values.
  • Modify relevant variables in the variables.tf file in the Terraform folder.

4. Run Terraform:

  • Open a terminal in the terraform folder.
# Initialize Terraform
terraform init

# Generate and review the Terraform plan
terraform plan -out myPlan

# Apply the Terraform plan
terraform apply myPlan
