• An AWS account
• A Node.js application repository hosted on a version control system like GitHub or AWS CodeCommit

• Make a directory named aws-cicd and CD into it using the command:

mkdir aws-cicd && cd $_

• create an index.js file that will contain the javascript code
• Also create an index.html file that'll containt the HTML content
• Create a buildspec.yml file which contains instruction for the pipeline
• Create a Dockerfile that contains the instructions to build docker image
• The above files were created using

code index.js index.html buildspec.yml Dockerfile

• Installs both nodejs and NPM:

sudo apt install nodejs -y

• NPM is a package manager for Node and it is used to install Node modules & packages and to manage dependency conflicts.
• The contents of the directory as showwn in the below diagram:

• Initialized the directory for git, and the subsequent command to commit and push the directory contents to the repository using

git init git add . git commit git push

• On the AWS console, open the CodeCommit service
• Navigate to the "Repositories" and click on "Create Repository"
• Give it a desired name and description. In my case, I name my repo Trios-2
• Click on create to create the repo and you'll be returned to the repository page with your created repo as shown below image:

• After pushing, the contents of the repo should look ike this:

• On the AWS Management Console, open the CodeBuild service.

• Click on "Create build project" and provide a name and description for the project.

• Under "Source provider," select the version control system where your Node.js application repository is hosted and in this case, CodeCommit.

• Connect to your repository and select the appropriate branch (Master in my case) as shown in the accompany diagram.

Configure the build settings:

• Environment: Choose the environment image that suits your application. Although, no variable specify for in this project.
• Buildspec: Create a buildspec.yml file in your repository that defines the build steps and environment.
• Artifacts: Configure the output location for build artifacts.
• Adjust any additional settings, such as VPC configuration or build timeouts. In my own case, There's no need configuring this.
• Save the project configuration.

• Go to the AWS Management Console and search for "CodePipeline".
• Click on "Create pipeline" and follow these steps:
• Provide a pipeline name.
• For "Source provider," select "AWS CodeCommit".
• Select the repository and branch you want to use.
• For "Build provider," choose "AWS CodeBuild".
• Configure the build provider with the appropriate settings (e.g., operating system, runtime).
• For "Deployment provider," it is skipped for now as it will be done in the subsequent project
• Attach AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryFullAccess as a permissions policy to the pipeline. This will grant the pipeline permission to the container registry

• AWS CodeBuild will automatically pull the latest code changes, execute the build steps defined in the buildspec.yml file, and produce build artifacts.
• The pipeline initially print an error messages below, and subsequently got interrupted.

• This was troubleshooted and resolved after several attempts as shown in the following images
