AWS DevOps Simplified

Overview of this book

DevOps and AWS are the two key enablers for the success of any modern software-run business. DevOps accelerates software delivery, while AWS offers a plethora of services, allowing developers to prioritize business outcomes without worrying about undifferentiated heavy lifting. This book focuses on the synergy between them, equipping you with strong foundations, hands-on examples, and a strategy to accelerate your DevOps journey on AWS. AWS DevOps Simplified is a practical guide that starts with an introduction to AWS DevOps offerings and aids you in choosing a cloud service that fits your company's operating model. Following this, it provides hands-on tutorials on the GitOps approach to software delivery, covering immutable infrastructure and pipelines, using tools such as Packer, CDK, and CodeBuild/CodeDeploy. Additionally, it provides you with a deep understanding of AWS container services and how to implement observability and DevSecOps best practices to build and operate your multi-account, multi-Region AWS environments. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with solutions and ready-to-deploy code samples that address common DevOps challenges faced by enterprises hosting workloads in the cloud.

Enabling continuous integration with CodeCommit and CodeBuild

AWS CodeCommit and AWS CodeBuild are two services that operate in the CI space. CodeCommit, like other Version Control Systems (VCSs), is an abstraction on top of Git and offers code repository management in supported AWS regions. Similar to how GitHub, GitLab, and other platforms work, it helps software teams collaborate, work with pull requests, manage branching, and so on. Speaking of the overall code management ecosystem, I wouldn’t say that CodeCommit offers something that others don’t, except one thing, which is integrating well with other AWS services. However, at the same time, these services offer similar integration capabilities with other platforms. So, it is very much possible for you to continue using your third-party tools of choice as the teams would already be comfortable with the code management processes offered by them.
