Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment and the Agile methodology have enabled huge advances in modern applications. This book will enable the reader to make use of these rapidly evolving technologies to build highly scalable applications within AWS using different architectures.
You will begin by installing the AWS SDK and will then get hands-on experience of creating an application using the AWS Management Console and the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). Next, you will be integrating Applications with AWS services such as DynamoDB, Amazon Kinesis, AWS Lambda, Amazon SQS, and Amazon SWF.
Following this, you will get well versed with CI/CD workflow and work with four major phases in the release processes—Source, Build, Test, and Production. Next, you will learn to apply AWS Developer tools in your Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) workflow. Later, you will learn about user authentication using Amazon Cognito and also how you can evaluate the best architecture as per your infrastructure costs. You will learn about Amazon EC2 and deploy an app using it. You will also get well versed with container service, which is Amazon EC2 Container Service (Amazon ECS), and you will learn how to deploy an app using it. Along with EC2 and ECS, you will also deploy a practical real-world example of a CI/CD application with the Serverless Application Framework, which is known as AWS Lambda. Finally, you will learn how to build, develop, and deploy an application using AWS Developer tools such as AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodeDeploy, and AWS CodePipeline as per your project needs. You will also be able to develop and deploy applications within minutes using AWS CodeStar from the wizard.
By the end of this book, you will be able to effectively build, deploy, and manage applications on AWS along with scaling and securing applications with best practices and troubleshooting tips.
