What is Code Pipeline ?

AWS Code Pipeline is a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It automates the process of building, testing, and deploying code changes to infrastructure on AWS. Here's a breakdown of its main components and how it works:

1. Pipeline: A pipeline is a series of stages that define the workflow for your application delivery process. Each stage represents a step in your CI/CD process, such as source code retrieval, build, test, and deployment. Pipelines can be simple or complex, depending on the needs of your project.
2. Source Stage: This is the first stage in the pipeline where the source code of your application resides. Code Pipeline integrates with various version control systems like AWS Code Commit, GitHub, Bitbucket, and Amazon S3 to retrieve the source code.
3. Build Stage: In this stage, the source code is built into a deployable artifact, such as a compiled binary, Docker image, or packaged application. AWS CodeBuild is commonly used for this purpose, but you can also integrate with other build tools.
4. Test Stage: After the build stage, the pipeline can be configured to run automated tests to ensure the quality and stability of the application. This can include unit tests, integration tests, and any other type of automated testing that you need.
5. Deploy Stage: Once the code passes the tests, it's ready to be deployed to the target environment, such as AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, or any other AWS service. CodePipeline supports various deployment strategies, including rolling deployments, blue/green deployments, and canary deployments.
6. Approval Stage: In some cases, you might want to add a manual approval step before deploying changes to production. CodePipeline allows you to insert an approval stage where designated stakeholders can review and approve or reject the changes.
7. Actions and Integrations: CodePipeline integrates with other AWS services, third-party tools, and custom scripts through actions. Actions are the building blocks of pipeline stages and perform specific tasks like initiating a build, running tests, or deploying code. AWS provides a wide range of pre-built actions, and you can also create custom actions to fit your specific requirements.

TASK:-

• Create a Deployment group of Ec2 Instance.

here's a step-by-step guide to creating a deployment group of EC2 instances using AWS Code Deploy:

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console: Go to the AWS Management Console and sign in to your AWS account.
2. Navigate to CodeDeploy: Go to the CodeDeploy service by either typing "CodeDeploy" in the search bar or locating it under the "Developer Tools" section.
3. Create a Deployment Group:
4. Configure Deployment Settings:
5. Deploy Your Application:
6. Monitor the Deployment:

• Create a Code Pipeline that gets the code from Code Commit, Builds the code using Code Build and deploys it to a Deployment Group.

Certainly! Here's a step-by-step guide to creating an AWS CodePipeline that integrates with CodeCommit for source control, CodeBuild for building the code, and CodeDeploy for deploying it to a deployment group:

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console: Go to the AWS Management Console and sign in to your AWS account.
2. Navigate to CodePipeline:
3. Create a New Pipeline:
4. Set Up Source Stage (CodeCommit):
5. Set Up Build Stage (CodeBuild):
6. Set Up Deployment Stage (CodeDeploy):
7. Review and Create:
8. Grant Necessary Permissions:
9. Test the Pipeline:
