a continuous delivery service to automate your build, test, deploy process for rapid delivery

Overview

CodePipeline

• Visual workflow to orchestrate CD pipelines. Pipeline can be edited when needed to add or remove stages.

• Each stage in the pipeline creates an artifact which is stored in S3 (Artifact Store). The next stage uses this artifact as input.

• When a developer commit a code change to source repo -> CodePipeline will auto detect the changes -> Auto build -> Deploy to staging for Testing -> (Manually approval) -> Deploy to production.

Pipeline

a pipeline

• Source: CodeCommit, ECR, S3

• Build: CodeBuild

• Test: CodeBuild

• Deploy: CodeDeploy, ECS, Margate, Beanstalk

Benefits

• Configurable workflow

• Easy to integrate with your pre-built plugins (Github, Jenkins) or custom plugins.

Features

• Access control using IAM.

• Receive notifications using SNS.

Concepts

• Stage: is a logical unit. Each stage contains actions that are performed on the application artifacts.

• Action: is a set of operations. Valid CodePipeline action types are source, build, test, deploy, approval, and invoke. The action can be run parallel or sequential.

• Execution: is a set of changes released by a pipeline. Each pipeline execution is unique and has its own ID.

• Transition: is the point where a pipeline execution moves to the next stage.
