AWS DevOps Tools

AWS DevOps Tools:

• AWS provides plenty of managed tools to meet the needs of DevOps tools.

• 1/ Development

  • Integrated development environment (IDEs), AWS cloud9 helps you write, run, and debug code online. Developers can scale up and scale down the environment based on needs.
  • If developers are using low-end systems then cloud9 is the best IDE choice
  • AWS provides Software Development Kits (SDKs) in various programming languages that help developers to build applications for the AWS platform with ease.
  • Developers can use AWS CDK to build and provision infrastructure.
  • AWS Code Commit provides managed source code repository
  • Code Commit provides connectivity with AWS SNS to invoke further HTTP webhooks.

• 2/ CI/CD

  • Build Tools: AWS CodeBuilds can help compile code, execute test cases and build software packages.
  • Deployment Tools: AWS code deployment can help deploy applications on various services.
  • AWS cloudfomation can also be used to deploy applications
  • Pipeline automation tools: AWS Code pipeline helps automate release #Pipeline for continuous delivery
  • Code Pipeline can connect with #github or any third-party source code repository
  • AWS Proton: Container and serverless deployment management
  • DevOps Guru: Improve operational performance - ML-powered - more towards SRE

• 3/ Infrastructure Automation:

  • Infrastructure automation helps in repeatedly and consistent provision and configuration
  • Infrastructure as a code: aws cloudformation can help in defining infrastructure programmatically and defining it.
  • Configuration Management: AWS OpsWorks can help define infrastructure configuration programmatically.

• 4/ Containers and Serverless:

  • Package code, configurations, and dependencies in one container to run the application
  • Containerization is an effective way to develop, test and deploy applications
  • Use AWS Elastic Container Registry to store container images
  • Deploy containerized applications on #AWS Elastic container services, Elastic Kubernetes services, or Elastic beanstalk
  • Serverless compute service can help you run the code without much configuration and at least operational cost
  • Use AWS Lambda or AWS Fargate to run serverless applications
  • Integrate it with AWS cloudwatch for the logs streaming

• 5/ Monitoring and Observability:

  • AWS X-Ray can help in implementing end-to-end observability of the application.
  • AWS cloudwatch can be used as the log streaming solution. It is important to configure the log retention time from the cost perspective
  • AWS config can help access, audit, and evaluate the AWS resources. Also, it can be used to implement desired state configuration
  • AWS CloudTrail can be used to track user activities and API usage for the compliance and regulations
