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.

Jenkins pipeline 2.0 (Pipeline as Code) using Jenkinsfile

In the world of software development, Jenkins has become an undisputed leader among continuous integration (CI) and delivery and deployment (CD) tools. Jenkins holds 50-70% of the CI/CD market because of its dedication to open source principles and providing large number of plugins for the integration with another technologies, whether it's related to cloud or monitoring. One of the major contributor in Jenkins is Cloudbees. They are redefining not only the way Jenkins behaves but also the CI/CD practices in a much broader sense. One of those new features is the Jenkins pipeline plugin. But before diving into the Jenkins pipeline, let's take a step back and checkout the reason of the evolving Jenkins Pipeline.

Over time, Jenkins, like most other self-hosted CI/CD tools, have the capacity to handle and store a...
