Orchestrating Software Delivery Using AWS CodePipeline

AWS CodePipeline is a fully managed continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) service provided by Amazon Web Services. It allows developers to automate the release process of their applications, from source code changes to deployment, enabling faster and more reliable software delivery. With its visual interface and integration with various AWS services, CodePipeline simplifies the setup and management of complex CI/CD workflows.

In this Cloud Lab, you’ll create an IAM role for CodePipeline. Next, you’ll configure all the necessary requirements using CloudFormation and push code to the CodeCommit repository. You’ll then build and test the entire pipeline using CodePipeline. Finally, you’ll implement a manual approval stage in the pipeline. By the end of this Cloud Lab, you’ll become proficient in creating, editing, and launching CI/CD pipelines on Amazon. This skill is essential for any cloud architect.

The following is the high-level architecture diagram of the infrastructure you’ll create in this Cloud Lab:
