This document introduces AWS CodeStar, a service that allows users to easily implement continuous delivery workflows on AWS. It provides templates for common project types, tools for managing access and issues, and integrates services like CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy and CodePipeline to automate the build, test and deploy process. The document outlines CodeStar's features, demonstrates how to create and manage projects, and discusses how it can help teams collaborate better and release code faster according to DevOps principles and practices.

Introducing AWS CodeStar
and the
AWS CI/CD workflow

Summary

3. What is DevOps?
Union of software development and operations
Migration of Agile continuous development into continuous
integration and continuous delivery
DevOps Model
• No Silos – Puts emphasis on communication, collaboration, and
cohesion between disciplines
• Best practices for change, configuration, and deployment automation
• Deliver apps/services at faster pace
• High speed product updates
Delivery Pipeline
Feedback Loop
COMPANY CUSTOMERS

4. • Integration
tests with
other systems
• Load testing
• UI tests
• Penetration
testing
DevOps Release Processes: Four major phases
Source Build Test Production
• Check-in
source code
such as .java
files.
• Peer review
new code
• Compile code
• Unit tests
• Style checkers
• Code metrics
• Create
container
images
• Deployment
to production
environments

5. Continuous Integration (CI) is…
DevOps software development practice
Refers to Build or Integration stage of the software release
process
Key Activities
 Code changes merged into a central repository
 Automated builds and tests are run
Goals
 Find and address bugs quickly
 Improve software quality
 Reduce time to release new software updates

6. Continuous Delivery (CD) is…
DevOps software development practice that refers to
Deployment stage of the software release process
Key Activities
 Deployment of all code changes to a testing and/or a
production environment
 Approval of updates to production from test stages
Goals
 Verify application updates across multiple dimensions
before deployment
 Automate entire software release process
 Pre-emptively discover deployment issues

7. DevOps Release processes: Levels

15. Project Dashboard
Coordinate your day-to-day development activities
Dashboard provides tools to view real time
application activity, monitor builds, and flow of
code through deployment pipeline
Customize project dashboard by adding,
removing, moving tiles
Add customizable team wiki tile for team
resources sharing or other purposes ex. show code
snippets
Use CodeStar project extensions to add tiles and
functionality dashboard

16. Working with Teams
Build project team by granting user access to
CodeStar project
Project Roles
 Owner: Ability to add & remove team members,
contribute code to project repo, grant or deny team
members remote access
 Contributor: Ability to add & remove dashboard
resources, contribute code to the project repository
 Viewer: Ability to view the project dashboard, code,
tiles, and project state
Project team members (users)
 Can have different CodeStar roles and permissions
 Can belong to multiple CodeStar projects
