Overview of this book

AWS CodeDeploy, AWS CodeBuild, and CodePipeline are scalable services offered by AWS that automate an application's build and deployment pipeline. In order to deliver tremendous speed and agility, every organization is moving toward automating their entire application pipeline. This book will cover all the AWS services required to automate your deployment to your instances. You'll begin by setting up and using one of the AWS services for automation –CodeCommit. Next, you'll learn how to build a sample Maven and NodeJS application using CodeBuild. After you've built the application, you'll see how to use CodeDeploy to deploy the application in EC2/Auto Scaling. You'll also build a highly scalable and fault tolerant Continuous Integration (CI)/Continuous Deployment (CD) pipeline using some easy-to-follow recipes. Following this, you'll achieve CI/CD for a microservice application and reduce the risk within your software development life cycle globally. You'll also learn to set up an infrastructure using CloudFormation templates and Ansible, and see how to automate AWS resources using AWS Lambda. Finally, you'll learn to automate instances in AWS and automate the deployment lifecycle of applications. By the end of this book, you'll be able to minimize application downtime and implement CI/CD, gaining total control over your software development lifecycle.

Automating AWS Resource Control Using AWS Lambda

This chapter is all about AWS Lambda, which is also known as Function as a Service. After the introduction of Lambda service by AWS in 2014, the emergence of serverless computing has dramatically risen in popularity. In this chapter, the following recipes will be covered which are related to audit compliance and automation with AWS resources:

  • Creating an AMIs of the EC2 instance using AWS lambda and CloudWatch
  • Sending notifications through SNS using Config and Lambda
  • Streaming and visualizing AWS CloudTrail logs in real time using Lambda with Kibana

Before moving ahead with the implementation of recipes, let's discuss something about lambda.
