You’ll learn how to provision a CodeCommit Git repository in a CloudFormation template. Furthermore, you’ll discover how to automate the provisioning of a deployment pipeline that uses this repository as its Source action to deploy an application using CodeDeploy to an EC2 instance. You’ll see examples, patterns and a short video that walks you through the process. Read more…
In the last post we created two basic applications each with a basic shell script to automate deploying them into AWS. In this post we will continue refactoring those deploy scripts to work on getting them setup using a common pipeline. We are aiming to have the pipeline executable code configured through metadata allowing us Read more…
Create a complete working software system that can be launched from a single button. Read more…
In this blog post, we will cover developing nix packages and testing them in docker. We will set up a container with the proper environment to build nix packages, and then we will test build existing packages from the nixpkgs repo. This lays the foundation for using docker to test your own nix packages. First, a quick introduction Read more…
We often overlook similarities between new CD Pipeline code we’re writing today and code we’ve already written. In addition, we might sometimes rely on the ‘copy, paste, then modify’ approach to make quick work of CD Pipelines supporting similar application architectures. Despite the short-term gains, what often results is code sprawl and maintenance headaches. This blog post series is aimed at helping to Read more…
At Stelligent, we put a strong focus on education and so I wanted to share some books that have been popular within our team. Today we explore the world of microservices with “Building Microservices” by Sam Newman. Microservices are an approach to distributed systems that promotes the use of small independent services within a software Read more…
Using smart algorithms, code is automatically integrated and pushed to production in nanoseconds as a developer continues to work as long as it passes myriad validation and verification checks in the deployment pipeline. The developer is notified of success or failure in nanoseconds passively through their work environment. Read more…
Continuous Security: Security in the Continuous Delivery Pipeline is a series of articles addressing security concerns and testing in the Continuous Delivery pipeline. This is the eighth article in the series. Introduction In this third and final post we’ll cover fully integrating the work we did in the first two posts into a CI/CD pipeline for Read more…
This post describes how to automate the integration of AWS OpsWorks and CodePipeline using CloudFormation so that you can click on a Launch Stack button to instantiate all the infrastructure resources. Read more…
Continuous Security: Security in the Continuous Delivery Pipeline is a series of articles addressing security concerns and testing in the Continuous Delivery pipeline. This is the seventh article in the series. Introduction The purpose of this blog series is to show how AWS Config and Lambda can be used to add Security Integration tests to a Continuous Read more…
