AWS CodePipeline (CI/CD Pipeline)
Conclusion
Course Summary
In this final section, we recap the core concepts and hands-on practices you’ve explored throughout the AWS CodePipeline lesson on KodeKloud. You now have the tools to design, secure, and automate end-to-end CI/CD workflows on AWS.
What You Learned
- CI/CD Fundamentals
Reviewed pipeline stages (Source, Build, Test, Deploy) and key terminology such as actions, artifacts, and events. - Service & Tool Integrations
Integrated CodePipeline with AWS services (CodeCommit, S3, CloudFormation, Lambda) and third-party tools (GitHub, Jenkins). - Security, Monitoring & Costs
Configured IAM roles and policies, enabled CloudWatch alarms, and assessed pipeline limits and pricing models. - Configuration Methods
Deployed pipelines via the AWS Management Console and automated setups with the AWS CLI. - Change Detection & Automation
Triggered pipeline executions on code commits and added manual or automated approval steps.
Integration Matrix
| Resource / Tool | Role in Pipeline | Example CLI / Console Command |
|---|---|---|
| AWS CodeCommit | Source repository | aws codepipeline create-pipeline --pipeline file://pipeline.json |
| AWS CodeBuild | Build & test | Define buildspec.yml and reference in pipeline stage |
| AWS Lambda | Custom actions & notifications | Use Invoke action to run validation scripts |
| GitHub | External source control | Select “GitHub” in Source stage and provide OAuth token |
| AWS CloudWatch | Monitoring & alerts | Create alarm on failed pipeline executions |
Warning
Be aware of AWS CodePipeline quotas (e.g., number of pipelines per region) and AWS service limits. Review your account limits in the Service Quotas console.
Next Steps
- Implement a multi-region deployment pipeline using AWS CloudFormation.
- Integrate third-party testing tools (e.g., Selenium, JMeter) in your pipeline.
- Explore advanced approval workflows with AWS Step Functions.
