Overview of this book

Expert AWS Development begins with the installation of the AWS SDK and you will go on to get hands-on experience of creating an application using the AWS Management Console and the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). Then, you will integrate applications with AWS services such as DynamoDB, Amazon Kinesis, AWS Lambda, Amazon SQS, and Amazon SWF. Following this, you will get well versed with CI/CD workflow and work with four major phases in the release process – Source, Build, Test, and Production. Then, you will learn to apply AWS Developer tools to your Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) workflow. Later, you will learn about user authentication using Amazon Cognito, and also how you can evaluate the best architecture as per your infrastructure costs. You will learn about Amazon EC2 service and will deploy an app using it. You will also deploy a practical real-world example of a CI/CD application with the Serverless Application Framework, which is known as AWS Lambda. Finally, you will learn how to build, develop, and deploy the Application using AWS Developer tools such as AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodeDeploy, and AWS CodePipeline, as per your project requirements.

AWS CodeDeploy


The AWS CodeDeploy service will help to automate the deployment of a variety of different services that includes Amazon EC2 instances, AWS Lambda functions, and instances that are running on-premises. It scales from a single Lambda function to hundreds of thousands of EC2 instances. AWS CodeDeploy helps in the following ways to make deployment easier, as it:

  • Releases new features quickly
  • Avoids downtime for application deployment
  • Handles complexity
  • Eliminates manual operations

Now, we will find out more about the AWS CodeDeploy service with the following topics:

  • AWS CodeDeploy benefits
  • Compute platforms and deployment options for AWS CodeDeploy
  • AWS CodeDeploy – a sample application deployment on a Windows Server

In the next section, we will discuss AWS CodeDeploy benefits.

AWS CodeDeploy benefits

The following are the benefits of AWS CodeDeploy. Let's understand each one of them very carefully:

  • Automatic deployment: AWS CodeDeploy helps to deploy your code rapidly, reliably, and fully...
