Welcome to an exciting journey of building your CI/CD pipeline on AWS! Over the next four days, we'll be diving into the world of AWS services, including CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline, and S3, to streamline your software development process.
Understanding CodeCommit
Let's kick things off by exploring CodeCommit. CodeCommit is a managed source control service provided by AWS, offering a secure and scalable platform for storing, managing, and versioning source code and artifacts. It supports Git, integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, and facilitates collaboration through branch and merge workflows. Additionally, CodeCommit provides audit logs and compliance reports to ensure regulatory requirements are met and changes are tracked effectively.
CodeBuild: Build as You Code
AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed build service that compiles your source code, runs tests, and produces ready-to-deploy software artifacts. With customizable build environments and support for popular programming languages, it automates the build process, ensuring consistency and reliability.
CodeDeploy: Effortless Deployment
AWS CodeDeploy automates code deployments to any instance, including Amazon EC2 instances and on-premises servers. It eliminates the complexity of manual deployments, allowing you to release new features with confidence. CodeDeploy can be integrated with CodeCommit, CodeBuild, and CodePipeline for a seamless CI/CD experience.
CodePipeline: Orchestrate Your Release Pipeline
AWS CodePipeline is a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) service that automates the build, test, and deployment phases of your release process. It enables fast and reliable delivery of features by orchestrating the different steps involved in releasing software.
S3: Storage at Scale
Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a scalable object storage service that allows you to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the web. It is a key component in a CI/CD pipeline for storing artifacts, logs, and other essential files.
Task 01: Setting Up a Code Repository on CodeCommit
Create a CodeCommit Repository: Start by navigating to the AWS Management Console and accessing the CodeCommit service. Follow the prompts to create a new repository, providing a meaningful name and optional description.
Configure GitCredentials in AWS IAM: To interact with the CodeCommit repository from your local machine, you'll need GitCredentials. Navigate to the IAM service in the AWS Management Console, create a new IAM user or use an existing one, and attach the necessary permissions for accessing CodeCommit repositories.
Clone the Repository on Your Local Machine: Using GitCredentials configured in the previous step, clone the CodeCommit repository to your local machine. Run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://git-codecommit.{region}.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/{repository-name}
Task 02: Adding Files and Committing Changes
Add a New File Locally: Create a new file or modify an existing one within your local Git repository.
Commit Changes: Once you've made the desired changes, commit them to your local Git repository using the following commands:
git add .git commit -m "Your commit message here"
Push Changes to CodeCommit Repository: Push the committed changes from your local repository to the CodeCommit repository on AWS using the following command:
git push origin master
By following these steps, you've successfully set up a CodeCommit repository on AWS, cloned it to your local machine, added files, committed changes, and pushed them back to the CodeCommit repository. Stay tuned for the next part of our CI/CD pipeline journey, where we'll dive into CodeBuild and automate the build process.
