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 the service template bundle

So far, we have learned how to create an environment template bundle. In this section, we will learn how to create a service template bundle and register it with AWS Proton. After that, we will learn how to create a service and service instance that will be deployed in both the staging and dev environments.

Writing the service template

At the beginning of this chapter, we provided a brief overview of the service template. The service template includes two sub-templates – one is an application-service related file that contains information regarding the task definition, load balancer target group, alarms, and so on, while the other sub-template is a build and deploy pipeline template that includes definitions related to developer tools such as CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline. Using a service template, we can create multiple Proton services (that refer to their respective application branches), which will build the application...
