Overview of this book

Reliable automation is crucial for any code change going into production. A release pipeline enables you to deliver features for your users efficiently and promptly. AWS CodePipeline, with its powerful integration and automation capabilities of building, testing, and deployment, offers a unique solution to common software delivery issues such as outages during deployment, a lack of standard delivery mechanisms, and challenges faced in creating sustainable pipelines. You’ll begin by developing a Java microservice and using AWS services such as CodeCommit, CodeArtifact, and CodeGuru to manage and review the source code. You’ll then learn to use the AWS CodeBuild service to build code and deploy it to AWS infrastructure and container services using the CodeDeploy service. As you advance, you’ll find out how to provision cloud infrastructure using CloudFormation templates and Terraform. The concluding chapters will show you how to combine all these AWS services to create a reliable and automated CodePipeline for delivering microservices from source code check-in to deployment without any downtime. Finally, you’ll discover how to integrate AWS CodePipeline with third-party services such as Bitbucket, Blazemeter, Snyk, and Jenkins. By the end of this microservices book, you’ll have gained the hands-on skills to build release pipelines for your applications.

Terraform

Terraform is an open source project and is widely used by organizations that are looking for an infrastructure provisioning tool across different cloud providers. Terraform works across multiple platforms and is not tied to a specific one, as it is platform neutral. Terraform supports all major providers, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and many more. The full list of providers can be found here: https://registry.terraform.io/browse/providers. If you are working on your private cloud and don’t have a provider, Terraform allows you to extend and develop one.

We will describe our desired infrastructure using a human-readable, configuration language known as HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL), a JSON-like syntax. This configuration file allows us to create a blueprint that can be versioned, shared, and reused. Once we have the configuration file ready, Terraform uses it and creates a detailed execution plan, explaining what changes it...
