2.3. Implementing CI/CD for Applications with AWS Developer Tools

Implementing CI/CD for applications with AWS Developer Tools adheres to the First Principle of automating the entire software delivery lifecycle, from code commit to application deployment. This accelerates developer velocity, improves application quality, and ensures reliable releases. The fundamental 'why' is to enable rapid iteration and continuous delivery of value to users.

This section explores the core AWS Developer Tools that form a robust CI/CD pipeline. You'll learn about version control with AWS CodeCommit, automated builds and tests with AWS CodeBuild, application deployments with AWS CodeDeploy, and pipeline orchestration with AWS CodePipeline.

The focus is on comprehending how to set up and manage these tools to automate the delivery of your applications, which is crucial for the DVA-C02 exam.

Scenario: Your team is manually building, testing, and deploying application updates, leading to slow releases and frequent errors. You need to automate this entire process to accelerate delivery and improve quality.

Reflection Question: How does implementing a CI/CD pipeline using AWS Developer Tools (like CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline) fundamentally automate the software delivery lifecycle, enabling rapid iteration and continuous delivery of your applications?
