AWS CI/CD Project

In this project, we are going to use AWS services to fetch our code, build it and deploy it on AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

For this project, we’ll be making use of the following services

1. AWS Elastic Beanstalk: environment to deploy and manage the application.

2. AWS Relational Database Service (RDS): managed database for the application.

3. GitHub Repository: git-based repository hosting the source code.

4. AWS CodeBuild: managed service to fetch the source code from Bitbucket and build an artifact.

5. AWS S3: to store the artifact.

6. AWS CodePipeline: CI/CD service to automate the release process.

Project Architecture

Project Implementation

Step 1: Setup AWS Beanstalk

• Create key pair to use to login to the beanstalk instance

• 

  Create IAM role for Beanstalk

• 

  

  Create Beanstalk application

Step 2: Setup AWS RDS

Setup connection between the EC2 instances created by Beanstalk and RDS

• make RDS security group allow connections from the EC2 instances

  

• verify connection to the RDS instance from Beanstalk instance

  

• setup tables in the RDS accounts database

  

Step 3: Setup AWS Code Build

• Create S3 bucket to store artifact

  

• Create Code Build project

    phases:
      install:
       runtime-versions:
          java: corretto17
      pre_build:
        commands:
          - apt-get update
          - apt-get install -y jq 
          - wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.9.8/binaries/apache-maven-3.9.8-bin.tar.gz
          - tar xzf apache-maven-3.9.8-bin.tar.gz
          - ln -s apache-maven-3.9.8 maven
          - sed -i 's/jdbc.password=admin123/jdbc.password=ntGHNQm3OLhzZ32Scxge/' src/main/resources/application.properties
          - sed -i 's/jdbc.username=admin/jdbc.username=admin/' src/main/resources/application.properties
          - sed -i 's/db01:3306/awscicd.c32i2026eovy.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:3306/' src/main/resources/application.properties
      build:
        commands:
          - mvn install
      post_build:
        commands:
           - mvn package
    artifacts:
      files:
         - '**/*'
      base-directory: 'target/vprofile-v2'
  

  

• Test build project

  

  

Step 4: Setup AWS Code Pipeline

• Create pipeline

  

  

  

  

Step 5: CI/CD process initial trigger

• Application successfully deployed to Beanstalk

  

  

Step 6: Test automated CI/CD through github trigger

• edit source code

  

• pipeline automatically triggered

  

  

VOILA!!! QED!!!
