Day 51 - Your CI/CD pipeline on AWS - Part 2 🚀 ☁

Welcome back, DevOps enthusiasts! In our journey of building a robust CI/CD pipeline on AWS, we've conquered AWS CodeCommit. Today, let's dive deeper into the world of AWS services with CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline, and S3. Exciting times ahead! 🎉

What is CodeBuild? 🏗️

AWS CodeBuild is like having your own team of builders in the cloud. It automates the process of compiling your source code, running tests, and generating deployment-ready artifacts. Say goodbye to managing build servers - CodeBuild takes care of it all for you! 🛠️

🚀 Task-01: Setting Up CodeCommit and Building with Nginx

1. Read about Buildspec file for CodeBuild:

   • Understand the purpose and structure of a Buildspec file. 📚

   • Learn about YAML syntax. 🧩

2. Create a CodeCommit Repository:

   • Set up a CodeCommit repository to store your code. 🏗️

     

3. Clone Repository to Local Machine:

   • Use Git Bash to clone the repository to your local machine. 💻

   • Execute commands:

       git clone <repository-HTTPS-url>
     

4. Create and Commit index.html:

   • Inside the repository, create an index.html file. 📄

     

     

   • Add and commit the file to the repository:

       git add index.html
       git commit -m "Commit index.html"
       git push origin master
     

🔨 Task-02: Configuring Build Process with Buildspec

5. Add buildspec.yaml File:

   • Create a buildspec.yaml file with build instructions. 🛠️

     Sure, here's a sample buildspec.yaml file based on your requirements:

       version: 0.2
     
       phases:
         install:
           runtime-versions:
             nginx: latest
         build:
           commands:
             - cp index.html /usr/share/nginx/html/
         post_build:
           commands:
             - service nginx start
       artifacts:
         files:
           - /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html
     

   • Include commands to install Nginx and configure the build process. ⚙️

6. Commit Buildspec.yaml:

   • Add and commit the buildspec.yaml file to the repository:

       git add buildspec.yaml
       git commit -m "Add buildspec.yaml"
       git push origin master
     

7. Create Build Project in CodeBuild:

   • Set up a new build project in the CodeBuild service. 🛠️

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

   • Configure source provider as AWS CodeCommit, select repository and branch. 📦

8. Define Environment and Buildspec:

   • Choose the operating system, runtime, and image. 🖥️

   • Select "Use a buildspec file" option and specify the location. 📋

9. Start Build and Verify:

   • Initiate a build and monitor the status. 🚀

   • Ensure all phases succeed. ✅

     

📦 Adding Artifacts to CodeBuild and Storing in S3

10. Create S3 Bucket:

    • Set up an S3 bucket to store artifacts. 🗃️

      

11. Configure Artifacts in CodeBuild:

    • Edit the build project settings to specify S3 as the artifact type. 🛠️

    • Select the previously created S3 bucket. 🪣

      

12. Update Artifacts and Rebuild:

    • Update the artifacts configuration and start a new build. 🔄

    • Verify that artifacts are uploaded to the S3 bucket. 📤

      

      

      

13. Verify Artifacts in S3:

    • Check the S3 bucket to ensure that the index.html file is stored in the specified location. 🧐

      You can see inside /var/www/html there is index.html file.

      Click on 'index.html' file, below you can see properties of file.

      Click on 'open' on right-hand side.

      

      Happy Learning! 🎉
