The document discusses AWS CodeStar, a service that allows users to easily set up continuous delivery pipelines for applications on AWS. It provides templates for common programming languages and services like CodeCommit for source control, CodeBuild for building code, and CodeDeploy or Elastic Beanstalk for deployments. The document demonstrates how to create a project using CodeStar templates and set up a continuous delivery pipeline. It also describes how CodeStar allows for collaboration through user roles and integrated issue tracking with JIRA.

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

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

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

6. ©2018, AmazonWebServices, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved.
Continuous Delivery (CD) is…
DevOps software development practice that refers to Deployment
stage of the software release process
Key Ac'vi'es
ü Deployment of all code changes to a testing and/or a production
environment
ü Approval of updates to production from test stages
Goals
ü Verify application updates across multiple dimensions before
deployment
ü Automate entire software release process
ü Pre-emptively discover deployment issues
