In this DevOps challenge we are going to dive deep into building a CI/CD Pipeline in AWS. By the end of the 7 days, we will have:

• A Web App set up in the Cloud
• A GitHub Repo connected with AWS
• Secure packages implementation with CodeArtifact
• Continuous Integration with CodeBuild
• A deployed Web App with CodeDeploy
• IaC (Infrastructure as Code) created with CloudFormation
• A fully built CI/CD Pipeline with the use of AWS Services

I am looking forward to set aside at least 3 hours per day for the next week to work on this challenge. I am keeping myself accountable with the help of the platform and one of my friends. My reward for completing this DevOps challenge will be a nice cheesecake.

DevOps (Development Operations) is a set of practices that combines development of products (code writing) and operations (Deploying and Maintaining said code) to facilitate development cycles and deliver reliable software in a swift and responsible manner.

DevOps Engineers are the wizards that implement those practices within an organization through:

• Building Automated Pipelines (e.g. AWS CodePipeline, Jenkins, Github Actions) that test, package and deploy software so releases become faster and reliable.

• They Containerize applications with tools like Kubernetes or Docker which help applications at scale.

• They turn cloud infrastructure into code (e.g. AWS CloudFormation, Terraform), so teams can manage and configure resources within an organization on the go without always manually configuring them.

CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Development. The end goal of CI/CD is to facilitate the flow from code changes to a live application. This process helps teams to build products in a fast and reliable manner.
