Overview of this book

AWS CodeDeploy, AWS CodeBuild, and CodePipeline are scalable services offered by AWS that automate an application's build and deployment pipeline. In order to deliver tremendous speed and agility, every organization is moving toward automating their entire application pipeline. This book will cover all the AWS services required to automate your deployment to your instances. You'll begin by setting up and using one of the AWS services for automation –CodeCommit. Next, you'll learn how to build a sample Maven and NodeJS application using CodeBuild. After you've built the application, you'll see how to use CodeDeploy to deploy the application in EC2/Auto Scaling. You'll also build a highly scalable and fault tolerant Continuous Integration (CI)/Continuous Deployment (CD) pipeline using some easy-to-follow recipes. Following this, you'll achieve CI/CD for a microservice application and reduce the risk within your software development life cycle globally. You'll also learn to set up an infrastructure using CloudFormation templates and Ansible, and see how to automate AWS resources using AWS Lambda. Finally, you'll learn to automate instances in AWS and automate the deployment lifecycle of applications. By the end of this book, you'll be able to minimize application downtime and implement CI/CD, gaining total control over your software development lifecycle.

Setting up the Jenkins Server and installing the required plugins

In this recipe, we will be installing the Jenkins Server and necessary plugins. We need the Jenkins server to build the application and to push the artifacts to the S3 bucket to keep the multiple revisions for the rollback purpose. It will also push the deployable content to another S3 bucket, from where AWS CodeDeploy will pull the content and deploy it into a Auto Scaling group.

Getting ready

To set up Jenkins, we first need a server. Then, we have to install Java, which is required by Jenkins as a dependency. Post that, we will install Jenkins and install build tools related to an application, which is npm. After that, we have to install S3 and CodeDeploy...
