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.

The AWS Proton service was developed by AWS after they considered lots of feedback from customers, where the main issue was how to maintain infrastructure, build pipelines, and deploy applications at scale. Initially, when the service became generally available, it was difficult to understand the components of AWS Proton and how it is different from AWS Service Catalog and other developer tools. This service has a couple of components that will be a bit confusing to you if you are just reading the documentation and not looking at the template code. So, in this section, we will dive deep into how AWS Proton solves the problem of maintenance of infrastructure, as well as how it helps you build pipelines and application deployments at scale.
