About

• Visual Workflow to orchestrate CI/CD.

  • Code Repository: Source of code repository could be GitHub, CodeCommit, GitLab etc.

  • Built: Built phase can be triggered using CodeBuild, Jenkins, CloudBees etc

  • Test: - Third party tools can be used for testing.

  • Deploy: - CodeDeploy, Elastic BeanStalk, CloudFormation, ECS etc can be used.

  • Invoke: - To invoke lambda, step functions etc.

• These orchestrator has stages

  • Each stage can have sequential/parallel actions.

  • Manual approval action can be defined at any stages if required.

  • Each stage generates artifacts which can be passed on to next stage. The artifacts generated during different stages are stored in S3.

Trouble shooting

• To get insight to state changes in CodePipeline use CloudWatch Events i.e EventBridge.

• If any stage fails then information about failure can be obtained in console.

• Ensure relevant IAM roles are provided to CodePipeline so as the pipeline to execute successfuly.

• AWS CloudTrail can be used to audit AWS API calls.
