# Automating Enterprise CI/CD Pipelines with GitHub Actions, Docker & AWS
Manual deployment workflows invite environment drift and unexpected production bugs. An automated CI/CD pipeline ensures every code commit is verified and deployed reliably.
## The Pipeline Architecture
- **Code Push**: Triggers GitHub Actions or Jenkins webhook runner.
- **Build & Test**: Multi-stage Docker build runs automated test suites.
- **Deploy**: Containerized image is pushed and executed on AWS EC2 with health checks.
```yaml
# sample .github/workflows/deploy.yml
name: Production Deployment
on:
push:
branches: [ main ]
jobs:
build-and-deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Build Docker Image
run: docker build -t app:latest .
- name: Deploy to AWS EC2
run: ssh ubuntu@ec2-ip "docker pull app:latest && docker-compose up -d"
```
