How to create a AWS Code Pipeline using AWS Code Commit , Code Build and Code Deploy

CodePipeline — Introduction

AWS CodePipeline is a continuous delivery service to model, visualize, and automate the steps required to release your software.

Benefits

Automation of Build , Test and Release Process.

Pipeline History Reports and Pipeline Status Visualizations

Establish a consistent release process.

Speed up delivery while improving quality.

Supports external tools integration for source, build and deploy.

Below is a high level flow in a code pipeline & description of the key pieces involved .

Code Commit : a fully-managed source control service that hosts secure Git-based repositories.

Code Build: a fully managed continuous integration service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces software packages that are ready to deploy.

Code Deploy: a fully managed deployment service that automates software deployments to a variety of compute services such as Amazon EC2, AWS Fargate, AWS Lambda, and your on-premises servers.

Code Pipeline :a fully managed continuous delivery service that helps you automate your release pipelines for fast and reliable application and infrastructure updates.

Use case : We have a PHP application which we want to use in a scenario where multiple developers work on the same code . As soon as a developer commits the code a new build should be created , tested and deployed automatically

Below are the steps to create a AWS Code pipeline using all the native AWS tools .

• Step#1: Create a Code Commit Repository
• Step#2: Create Code Build
• Step#3: Create Beanstalk App
• Step#4: Create Code Pipeline
• Step#5: Create Code Deploy

Create Code Commit Repository

Visit Github Repo

https://github.com/awslabs/aws-codepipeline-s3-aws-codedeploy_linux

Or Link to my repo : https://github.com/dogradiwakar/AWS-CICD-Codecommit

Select the dist folder & Select the file named aws-codepipeline-s3-aws-codedeploy_linux.zip.

Select View Raw & save the sample file

For repo access User should have Code commit Full access role assigned to his login .

Clone the Repo

Connect to your repository , copy sample files

Create the buildspec.yml file and add below content to it . This will be used for initiating the build .

Push using below git commands .

git add *

git commit –m “v1”

git push

Create Code Build

Configure Source

Configure environment

Configure Artifact

Click on Create Build Project

Click on Start Build

Once all the Stages are finished, the Build File will be generated in the S3 Bucket

Check S3 for the File

Create Beanstalk App

Click on Upload your code and give path of the S3 File

Click on Create Application.

Create Pipeline

Configure Source

Configure Build

Configure Deploy

Click on Create Pipeline

Open the Sample App Page , Do some changes to the index.html and again commit the code to the code commit repo .

The Pipeline will get initiated as soon as commit is done to the code .
