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.

Creating a development CodePipeline project with image scanning and an EKS cluster

In the previous section, we raised a PR from feature-anothercatalog to the develop branch after fixing a security recommendation. That means the new feature is ready to get merged to the develop branch and to deploy on the development EKS cluster. Mostly, the development environment runs multiple builds and deployments in a day. These days, you will see most enterprises and start-ups roll out their features every day. In this section, we will create a CodePipeline project that will get triggered the moment the PR gets merged from feature-anothercatalog to the develop branch. We also need to make sure that the build and deployment should take place only to the microservice that has code changes. We discussed in the first section that either we can choose polyrepo and multiple pipelines or we can have a monorepo and path-based multi-pipeline. It was also highlighted that currently, we can't do path...
