Introduction to Create Continuous Delivery Pipeline

Creating a Continuous Delivery (CD) pipeline using AWS services and GitHub involves several steps to automate the process of code deployment. Here’s a brief introduction to setting up such a pipeline:

  1. Source Stage: Your code resides in a GitHub repository, which acts as the source. Any change to the code triggers the pipeline.

  2. Build Stage: AWS CodeBuild compiles your source code, runs tests, and produces software packages that are ready to deploy.

  3. Deploy Stage: AWS Elastic Beanstalk takes the build artifacts from CodeBuild and deploys them to an environment, handling the deployment details.

  4. Pipeline Orchestration: AWS CodePipeline automates the workflow from code update to deployment. It connects to GitHub, triggers CodeBuild projects, and deploys using Elastic Beanstalk.

Here’s a high-level overview of the steps involved:

  • Connect GitHub to CodePipeline: Set up a webhook in GitHub to trigger your pipeline on a commit.
  • Set up CodeBuild: Define build specifications and connect it to your pipeline.
  • Configure Elastic Beanstalk: Prepare your environment for deployment and set it as the target for CodeBuild artifacts.
  • Create the Pipeline: Use AWS CodePipeline to orchestrate the process, defining each stage and action based on the above services.

For detailed instructions, AWS provides comprehensive guides and documentation¹. Remember, you’ll need appropriate IAM roles and permissions set up for these services to interact with each other securely.
