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.

Setting up AWS ECR and pushing an image into it

Amazon EC2 Container Registry (Amazon ECR) is a Docker registry service managed by AWS. ECR is scalable, secure, and reliable. ECR supports private Docker repositories with resource-based permissions using IAM so that specific users or AWS EC2 instances can access repositories and images. Using ECR is a bit different than using a Docker hub in terms of authenticity and permissions. The following are some components of Amazon ECR:

  • Registry: The Amazon ECR registry is provided to each AWS account (as of writing this book, it is available in 12 regions only; for now, it means that it's not available in Mumbai, Seoul, and Sau Paulo). We can create repositories in the registry and store an image in that repository.
  • Authorization Token: To access the ECR, the Docker client needs to authenticate to Amazon ECR registries as an AWS...
