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.

Chapter 3: CI/CD Using AWS Proton and an Introduction to AWS CodeGuru

This chapter will introduce the new AWS Proton service and the need for it within the developer community. You will understand how AWS Proton helps both the developers and DevOps/infrastructure engineers with their work in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Then, we will look at the basic blocks of the Proton service, which helps create the environment and service template. We will learn how to use environment templates to spin up multiple infrastructure environments, and how to deploy container instances on those environments. This chapter will also walk you through the code review process in case any pull requests are raised, as well as how to scan the source code and find any vulnerabilities and secret leaks. We will use AWS CodeGuru Reviewer to review and perform static code analysis.

In this chapter, we are going to cover the following main topics:

  • Introduction to the AWS Proton service
