Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) enable developers to automate build, test, and deployment workflows. AWS provides fully managed CI/CD services that integrate natively with application and infrastructure services.
Key Concepts
Why CI/CD?
- Faster and reliable deployments
- Reduced human error
- Repeatable, auditable release process
- Enables DevOps and agile delivery
AWS CI/CD Services
AWS CodeCommit
- Managed Git-based source control
- Integrates with IAM for authentication
- Alternative: GitHub / Bitbucket
AWS CodeBuild
- Fully managed build service
- Uses buildspec.yml
- Supports multiple runtimes (Java, Python, Node.js)
AWS CodePipeline
- Orchestrates CI/CD stages
- Integrates with CodeCommit, CodeBuild, Lambda, CloudFormation
- Event-driven pipeline execution
AWS CodeDeploy
- Automates deployments to EC2, Lambda, and ECS
- Supports blue/green and rolling deployments
Lab: Create CICD pipeline to deploy serverless S3 hosted webpage
Step-1: Create Pipeline => Build Custom Pipeline
Step-2: Source provider => GitHub (Via GitHub App)
Step-3: Connect to GitHub and choose connection => select repository ==> Select Branch (main)
Step-4: Skip Build Stage
Step-5: Skip Test Stage
Step-6: Deploy => S3 => Choose Bucket => Check: Extract file before deploy
Step-7: Create Pipeline
Validate
- Deploy complete on Code Pipepile UI
- Change and commit index.html on GitHub
- Notice auto-trigger of CodePipeline
- Revised webpage now avaialble
