DevOps on AWS: Part 3 — Creating a Complete CI/CD Pipeline with CodePipeline

Introduction:

Welcome to the final part of our DevOps series on AWS! In the previous blogs, we explored CodeCommit, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy. Now, we’ll bring everything together to create a complete CI/CD pipeline using AWS CodePipeline. Let’s dive in!

CodePipeline:

AWS CodePipeline is a fully managed continuous integration and continuous delivery service that automates the build, test, and deployment phases of your release process. Here’s how to set up a CI/CD pipeline:

Create a pipeline:

• Navigate to the CodePipeline service in the AWS Management Console.
• Click on “Create pipeline” and provide a name for your pipeline.

• Define the source stage: Choose CodeCommit as the source provider and select your repository.

• Define the build stage: Choose CodeBuild as the build provider and select your build project.

• Define the deploy stage: Choose CodeDeploy as the deployment provider and specify your deployment group.

• Review and Create it : Review the pipeline configuration and click on “Create pipeline” to initiate the pipeline creation process.

Pipeline Execution:

Once the pipeline is created, it will automatically trigger when you commit to your code commit repo.

Here’s how the pipeline execution flow works:

1. Source stage:

• CodePipeline retrieves the source code from the specified CodeCommit repository.

2. Build stage:

• CodePipeline triggers the CodeBuild project, which compiles the source code, runs tests, and produces build artifacts.

3. Deploy stage:

• CodePipeline deploys the build artifacts to the specified CodeDeploy deployment group, automating the deployment process to EC2 instances.

4. Monitor and manage:

• Monitor pipeline execution status and view detailed execution logs in the CodePipeline console.
• Manage pipeline stages, actions, and settings as per your project requirements.

VERIFICATION

We again commit the index.html file and see what happen.

• So as soon as we commit and push the changes in code commit repo, you will see that the pipeline will triggered.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully created a complete CI/CD pipeline using AWS CodePipeline. By automating the build, test, and deployment phases of your release process, you can accelerate software delivery and improve overall efficiency. Keep exploring AWS services and best practices to further optimize your DevOps workflows. Happy deploying! 🎉🤩
