2.3.1. AWS CodeCommit for Source Control

First Principle: AWS CodeCommit provides a fully managed, secure, and scalable Git repository service for developers, simplifying code storage and collaboration within CI/CD pipelines.

AWS CodeCommit is a fully managed source control service that hosts secure Git-based repositories. It eliminates the need for developers to operate their own source control systems, integrating seamlessly with other AWS Developer Tools.

Key Features of AWS CodeCommit:
  • Fully Managed: No servers to provision, manage, or scale.
  • Secure: Code is encrypted at rest and in transit. Integrates with IAM for granular access control.
  • Scalable: Automatically scales to meet your needs, supporting millions of repositories.
  • Git-Compatible: Works with standard Git clients and tools.
  • Collaboration: Supports standard Git workflows for team collaboration on code.
  • Integration: Seamlessly integrates as the source stage for AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild.

Scenario: You are part of a development team working on a new application. You need a secure and centralized place to store your application's source code, manage different versions, and collaborate with other developers.

Reflection Question: How does AWS CodeCommit, as a fully managed Git repository service, simplify code storage, version control, and collaboration for your development team within a CI/CD pipeline?
