As part of the DevOps Micro Internship (DMI) Cohort-2, I completed an assignment focused on applying Git, GitHub, and Linux deployment workflows by building and versioning a small project and deploying it to a live AWS EC2 server.
I set up a local Git repository, staged files, wrote meaningful commit messages, and pushed changes to a remote GitHub repository. I then deployed the same versioned code to an Amazon Linux EC2 instance using Nginx to serve static content.
During deployment, I installed and managed Nginx, handled file ownership and permissions, and ensured the site was served correctly from the Nginx web root. I identified differences between Amazon Linux and Ubuntu Nginx defaults and resolved 403 Forbidden errors by correcting permissions and verifying configuration file…

I identified differences between Amazon Linux and Ubuntu Nginx defaults and resolved 403 Forbidden errors by correcting permissions and verifying configuration files.
Key takeaways:
Git provides version history and supports controlled deployments GitHub enables remote code storage and collaboration Nginx requires correct paths and permissions to serve static files OS-specific defaults affect server configuration Logs and Linux permissions are required for troubleshooting

This work covered Git version control, static website deployment, Linux server administration, and AWS EC2 operations.
