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.

Installation of DAST and RASP tools

In this section, we will install OWASP ZAP in an EC2 instance, which will be used by the DevSecOps pipeline to scan the application once the new service is deployed in an eks-staging cluster. After the OWASP ZAP installation, we will install Falco in the EKS cluster.

Installing OWASP ZAP

We will be installing OWASP ZAP using the CloudFormation template. Perform the following tasks to configure OWASP ZAP to be used by CodePipeline:

  1. Make sure you have the chapter-09/owasp-zap.yaml file in your local machine.
  2. Go to the CloudFormation home page, click on Create stack, then select With new resource. In the Specify template section, select Upload a template file. Click on Choose file and select the owasp-zap.yaml file, and then click on Next.
