Ways to Deploy

S3

• CodeDeploy straight from code in a bucket to:
  • Lambda
  • Ec2
  • ECS

ECS

• src in CodeCommit
  • Do code reviews
• Build in CodeBuild
  • Use buildspec file
  • Deposit artifacts to s3
  • Perhaps register img to ECR
  • Run unit/other tests
• CodeDeploy
  • Use appspec
  • Manual approval?
  • Deploy to ECS

Beanstalk

• src in s3 perhaps
• CodeBuild
• CodeDeploy
• Beanstalk (another one of several “deployment providers”)

Lambda

• Src: CodeCommit
• Build: CodeBuild
• Deploy: CloudFormation
• to: Lambda

CodePipeline Action Types

• INVOKE (as in, Lambda)
• Source
• Build
• Test
• Deploy
• Approve

“Invoke” Use Cases?

• Create resources (e.g. servers) on demand
• Zero-downtime Beanstalk deployments using lambda to swap CNAME
• Deploy ECS docker instances
• Back up resources before deploying

CloudFormation

• Src: CodeCommit
• Build
• Deploy
• CF stack (via template)
  • Can be validated with cfn-lint in buildspec
