Accelerate software delivery by developing end-to-end Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery Pipelines for applications and Infrastructure hosted on AWS, using AWS Developer Tools

Overview

In DevOps Essentials on AWS, you'll learn how to accelerate software delivery and speed up feedback loops. You’ll learn how to use AWS Developer Tools to automate infrastructure and deployment pipelines for applications running on AWS. The course will provide various DevOps use cases for Amazon EC2, AWS OpsWorks, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, AWS Lambda (Serverless), Amazon ECS (Containers), while defining infrastructure as code, and learning more about AWS Developer Tools including AWS CodeStar, AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodePipeline, and AWS CodeDeploy.

If you're a Software Developer, or DevOps-focused Engineer, or a Solution Architect interested in learning how to use AWS Developer Tools to create a full-lifecycle software delivery solution, this is the course for you. The focus of the course is on deployment pipeline architectures and its implementations.

The AWS Developer Tools is a set of services designed to enable developers, Solution Architects and IT professionals practicing DevOps to rapidly and safely deliver software. Together, these services help you securely store and version control your application's source code and automatically build, test, and deploy your application and infrastructure as code to AWS Services such as Amazon EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, Amazon EC2 Container Service, and AWS Lambda.

Intermediate level: experienced software developer or DevOps-focused engineer or architect

Course Prerequisites

• Programming experience required
• Basic shell scripting experience required
• Familiarity with cloud
• Familiarity with AWS

In Lesson 1 you are introduced to the basic components and tools of a deployment pipeline, DevOps, patterns of effective culture, team organization patterns, and the basics of establishing Continuous Delivery to deliver software on demand.

Lesson 2: Static Website
In Lesson 2, you learn how to configure the course prerequisites on your computer, manually provision the static website, orchestrate software workflows in CodePipeline, store software assets in CodeCommit, build and test software in CodeBuild, describe the architecture and launch the solution, provision AWS resources in CloudFormation, and orchestrate the solution in CodePipeline.

Lesson 3: Deploying to EC2
In Lesson 3, you begin by learning the basic features of EC2, and then you learn how to deploy applications using CodeDeploy, describe the architecture and launch the sample solution, provision AWS resources in CloudFormation, and orchestrate the EC2-based solution in CodePipeline.

Lesson 4: Deploying with OpsWorks
In Lesson 4, you learn how to describe the basic features of OpsWorks, describe the architecture and launch the solution, provision AWS resources in CloudFormation, and orchestrate the solution in CodePipeline

Lesson 5: Deploying with Elastic Beanstalk
In Lesson 5, you learn how to describe the basic features of Elastic Beanstalk, describe the architecture and launch the solution on a Node.js server, provision AWS resources in CloudFormation, and orchestrate the solution in CodePipeline

Lesson 6: Deploying with ECS
In Lesson 6, you learn the basic features of EC2 Container Service (ECS) and how to describe the architecture and launch the solution, provision AWS resources in CloudFormation, and orchestrate the solution in CodePipeline. You also integrate CloudFormation deploy actions into CodePipeline.

Lesson 7: Deploying a Serverless Application
In Lesson 7, you learn the basic features of Serverless and how to describe the Serverless Application Model, describe the architecture and launch the solution, provision AWS resources in CloudFormation, and orchestrate the solution in CodePipeline

Lesson 8: Using AWS CodeStar
In Lesson 8, you learn how to build end-to-end workflows using AWS CodeStar to launch a solution from a Project Template, configure the dashboard for the project, manage code changes, deploy software, orchestrate software using Pipeline, manage team members, and extend the solution using Extensions.
