This document outlines a Continous Integration and Continous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline for a random password generator on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The pipeline leverages AWS services to automate the build, test, and deployment process.
The project likely follows this structure:
- source - This directory contains the source code for the random password generator.
- buildspec.yaml - This file defines the build specifications used by AWS CodeBuild.
- appspec.yaml - This file defines the deployment configuration used by AWS CodeDeploy.
- An AWS account with proper IAM permissions
- AWS CLI configured with access to your AWS account
The CI/CD pipeline is triggered by a push to the main branch of the repository. Here's a breakdown of the pipeline stages:
- CodeCommit: The code is stored in a CodeCommit repository.
- CodeBuild: A push to the main branch initiates a CodeBuild project. This project uses the
buildspec.yamlfile to build the random password generator application. - Testing: After a successful build, automated tests are executed. These tests can be unit tests or integration tests written for the password generator.
- CodeBuild (Again): If the tests fail, the pipeline stops and the build is marked as failed. Otherwise, the build continues.
- Amazon S3 (Optional): If the application is packaged as an artifact, it's uploaded to an Amazon S3 bucket at this stage.
- AWS CodeDeploy: CodeDeploy retrieves the newly built artifact and deploys it to the target environment. The
appspec.yamlfile specifies the deployment configuration. - Amazon EC2: The application is deployed on Amazon EC2 instances.
To manually deploy the application using the AWS CLI, you can follow these steps:
- Build the application:
aws codebuild start-build --project-name <project-name>- Once the build is successful, deploy the application:
aws deploy update-deployment-group --application-name <application-name> --deployment-group-name <deployment-group-name> --deployment-config <deployment-config-name>Note: Replace <project-name>, <application-name>, and <deployment-group-name> with the actual names you configured in your AWS environment.
- This is a basic example of a CI/CD pipeline for a random password generator on AWS. The specific implementation details may vary depending on your specific requirements and chosen technologies.
