CI/CD pipeline on AWS - Part-1

Now that we're acquainted with AWS, let's dive into crafting our CI/CD pipeline on AWS using these essential tools:

• CodeCommit

• CodeBuild

• CodeDeploy

• CodePipeline

• S3

What is CodeCommit ?

CodeCommit is a managed source control service by AWS that allows users to store, manage, and version their source code and artifacts securely and at scale. It supports Git, integrates with other AWS services, enables collaboration through branch and merge workflows, and provides audit logs and compliance reports to meet regulatory requirements and track changes. Overall, CodeCommit provides developers with a reliable and efficient way to manage their codebase and set up a CI/CD pipeline for their software development projects.

Task-01 :

• Set up a code repository on CodeCommit and clone it on your local.

• You need to setup GitCredentials in your AWS IAM.

• Use those credentials in your local and then clone the repository from CodeCommit

Solution:

Step 1 :create user and grant IAM role.

Adding AWSCodeCommitPoweruser policy to user.

Step 2: Create demo-test repository.

Step 3: Need to setup Git Credentials in your AWS IAM.

Go to IAM->Select User->Security credentials tab-> HTTPS Git credentials for AWS CodeCommit ->generate credetials.

Step 4: Using above credentials we can work on code-commit repository on local system

Go to codecommit repository and copy URL for HTTPS clone.

As soon as you hit clone repository URL in local terminal it will prompt for credentials. Provide credentials which we are generated in previous step.

Task-02 :

• Add a new file from local and commit to your local branch

• Push the local changes to CodeCommit repository.

Solution:

Step 1: creating sample file in folder.

We have commited the change and we could see file added in local.

Step 2: Push the local changes to CodeCommit repository.

git push origin master

Step 3: verify file in codeComit repo.

We have successfully pushed file from local to codeCommit repository.

What is CodeBuild ?

AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed build service in the cloud. CodeBuild compiles your source code, runs unit tests, and produces artifacts that are ready to deploy. CodeBuild eliminates the need to provision, manage, and scale your own build servers.

Task-01 :

• Read about Buildspec file for Codebuild.

• create a simple index.html file in CodeCommit Repository

• you have to build the index.html using nginx server

Solution:

Step 1:

A Buildspec file, written in YAML, outlines the build process for your CodeBuild project. It comprises a sequence of commands executed by CodeBuild to build and package your application.

Step 2: Lets create simple index.html file in local and pushed it to codecommit repo.

verify the files in codecommit repository.

Step 3:

Lets create a Buildspec file to build the file using an nginx server.

Push buildspec file codecommit repo.

Buildspec file has been added to code-commit repo.

Lets build file using code-build.

Goto code build-> Create Build.

Hit create build project button and we could see build in dashbaord

Hit on start build button.

Post fixing few syntax error, I am bale to build file successfully..

In next session will work on code-deploy and code pipeline in more details.
