In this episode, Paul Duvall and Brian Jakovich cover recent DevOps on AWS news along with a discussion with one of the founding fathers of Continuous Integration, Paul Julius.
Here are the show notes:
DevOps on AWS News
DevOps on AWS News:
- mu 1.5.4
- Support for the new SSM Session Manager
- Support for SSM Inventory on ECS container instances
- Support for Aurora Serverless
- Stack policies to protect RDS and KMS resources
- AWS Config adds support for CodePipeline
- With this, you can enforce and react to any change within minutes of a pipeline update and ensure conformity to whatever rules you design: for example, standards for testing and environments, automatically disabling transitions, and checking roles/permissions – to name a few.
- Introducing AWS CloudFormation Macros
- You can use Macros to create your own custom transforms. For example, you can create common string functions for templates or define short-hand syntaxes for common CloudFormation resources.
- AWS Config Announces New Managed Rules
- 7 new managed config rules. Two examples:
- Verify that Amazon GuardDuty is enabled or centralized in the AWS account using guardduty-enabled-centralized.
- Check if Amazon RDS snapshots are public using rds-snapshots-public-prohibited.
- 7 new managed config rules. Two examples:
- AWS CodeBuild Adds Ability to Create Build Projects with Multiple Input Sources and Output Artifacts
- Your projects can now use one or more sources from Amazon S3, AWS CodeCommit, GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, or Bitbucket and can upload multiple sets of artifacts to one or more Amazon S3 buckets. You can also configure your project to have no input source. You can now use the AWS CodePipeline integration with CodeBuild to create a pipeline with multiple input and output artifacts to a CodeBuild project.
- AWS X-Ray Now Supports Amazon API Gateway and New Sampling Rules API
- By adding API Gateway support to X-Ray, it is now easier to trace and analyze your request in real time.
- With Sampling Rules, you can customize the request and trace what you want to record.
- Hello Retail
- How Nordstorm uses Serverless to build an application called Hello Retail.
- Includes a walk through on how to build a fully functioning serverless application.

About DevOps on AWS Radio
On DevOps on AWS Radio, we cover topics around applying DevOps principles and practices such as Continuous Delivery on the Amazon Web Services cloud. This is what we do at Stelligent for our customers. We’ll bring listeners into our roundtables and speak with engineers who’ve recently published on our blog and we’ll also be reaching out to the wider DevOps on AWS community to get their thoughts and insights.
The overall vision of this podcast is to describe how listeners can create a one-click (or “no click”) implementation of their software systems and infrastructure in the Amazon Web Services cloud so that teams can deliver software to users whenever there’s a business need to do so. The podcast will delve into the cultural, process, tooling, and organizational changes that can make this possible including:
- Automation of
- Networks (e.g. VPC)
- Compute (EC2, Containers, Serverless, etc.)
- Storage (e.g. S3, EBS, etc.)
- Database and Data (RDS, DynamoDB, etc.)
- Organizational and Team Structures and Practices
- Team and Organization Communication and Collaboration
- Cultural Indicators
- Version control systems and processes
- Deployment Pipelines
- Orchestration of software delivery workflows
- Execution of these workflows
- Application/service Architectures – e.g. Microservices
- Automation of Build and deployment processes
- Automation of testing and other verification approaches, tools and systems
- Automation of security practices and approaches
- Continuous Feedback systems
- Many other Topics…
