In this DevOps challenge we are going to dive deep into building a CI/CD Pipeline in AWS. By the end of the 7 days, we will have:
A Web App set up in the Cloud
A GitHub Repo connected with AWS
Secure packages implementation with CodeArtifact
Continuous Integration with CodeBuild
A deployed Web App with CodeDeploy
IaC (Infrastructure as Code) created with CloudFormation
A fully built CI/CD Pipeline with the use of AWS Services

Hold me accountable!
I am looking forward to set aside at least 3 hours per day for the next week to work on this challenge. I am keeping myself accountable with the help of the platform and one of my friends. My reward for completing this DevOps challenge will be a nice cheesecake.
What is DevOps?
DevOps (Development Operations) is a set of practices that combines development of products (code writing) and operations (Deploying and Maintaining said code) to facilitate development cycles and deliver reliable software in a swift and responsible manner.
DevOps Engineers are the wizards that implement those practices within an organization through:
Building Automated Pipelines (e.g. AWS CodePipeline, Jenkins, Github Actions) that test, package and deploy software so releases become faster and reliable.
They Containerize applications with tools like Kubernetes or Docker which help applications at scale.
They turn cloud infrastructure into code (e.g. AWS CloudFormation, Terraform), so teams can manage and configure resources within an organization on the go without always manually configuring them.
What is CI/CD?
CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Development. The end goal of CI/CD is to facilitate the flow from code changes to a live application. This process helps teams to build products in a fast and reliable manner.
Excited to share my progress - do this challenge with me!
