Overview of this book

Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) has never been simple, but these days the landscape is more bewildering than ever; its terrain riddled with blind alleys and pitfalls that seem almost designed to trap the less-experienced developer. If you’re determined enough to keep your balance on the cutting edge, this book will help you navigate the landscape with ease. This book will guide you through the most modern ways of building CI/CD pipelines with AWS, taking you step-by-step from the basics right through to the most advanced topics in this domain. The book starts by covering the basics of CI/CD with AWS. Once you’re well-versed with tools such as AWS Codestar, Proton, CodeGuru, App Mesh, SecurityHub, and CloudFormation, you’ll focus on chaos engineering, the latest trend in testing the fault tolerance of your system. Next, you’ll explore the advanced concepts of AIOps and DevSecOps, two highly sought-after skill sets for securing and optimizing your CI/CD systems. All along, you’ll cover the full range of AWS CI/CD features, gaining real-world expertise. By the end of this AWS book, you’ll have the confidence you need to create resilient, secure, and performant CI/CD pipelines using the best techniques and technologies that AWS has to offer.

Importing an AWS Config rules evaluation as a finding in Security Hub

In this section, we will implement a solution that imports a non-compliant AWS Config rules evaluation as a finding in Security Hub. This solution helps in showing the non-compliant resources in a single pane of the dashboard of Security Hub, which makes it easier to investigate. Once we receive the finding in Security Hub, we can also automate the taking of actions using Lambda. The following figure shows a flow diagram of the solution:

Figure 7.14 – Flow diagram of the solution

The preceding solution consists of the following steps:

  1. When we deploy or provision any non-compliant resources, the AWS Config rule will detect the changes and change the state from compliant to non-compliant.
  2. The moment the Config rule changes the resource state from compliant to non-compliant, the CloudWatch event rule will trigger the Lambda function.
  3. The Lambda function will gather the...
