Software development comprises two teams that are the development team for testing and deploying whatever is built and the operations team for offering feedback. The operations team evaluates the working of the development team and meantime the development team is sitting idle and waiting to hear from the operations team. This wastes a lot of time and the solution is for them to work in collaboration.

This guide will discuss DevOps in AWS.

What is DevOps?

DevOps is the process of collaboration among “Development” and “Operations” teams to make it one team. It starts with planning and then building, testing, delivering, and deployment phases to sometimes monitor even after the delivery of the application. It focuses on automating everything and lets developers write small chunks of code to be integrated later.

What is DevOps in AWS?

DevOps can be used separately, but when it combines with the cloud, it becomes twice as efficient and beneficial. Amazon Web Service (AWS) is a suite of services offering cloud computing resources at affordable rates. Combining these two giants in cooperation will bring products at a faster rate and helps solve many security and downtime problems:

AWS Services for DevOps

Some of the important AWS services that can be used for DevOps are mentioned below:

• Essentials: Some of the essential services that are to be used in DevOps are VPC, EC2, IAM, and S3.
• CI-CD: CI-CD services from AWS are CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline.
• Infrastructure: To manage and build computing infrastructures, AWS offers EKS and ECS services and Lambda service will automatically manage once the infrastructure is deployed. Additionally, CloudFormation, CDK, and Terraform are used for infrastructure creation and management.
• Security: To manage the security, AWS offers IAM policies, VPC security groups, and CloudTrail
• Monitoring: Services for monitoring DevOps are CloudWatch, Metrics, Alarms, Logs, etc.

Components of AWS DevOps

Some of the key components of AWS DevOps are mentioned below.

AWS CodeCommit: It is a source control service like GitHub that can host secure and highly scalable repositories:

AWS CodePipeline: It is the combination of continuous integration and continuous delivery service for a quicker and more reliable infrastructure and application updates:

AWS CodeBuild: CodeBuild is used to compile the source code, run tests on the code and provide deployable code. It provides pre-packaged build environments for popular languages and builds tools for it to scale automatically:

AWS CodeDeploy: It is utilized to coordinate the application deployment and updates across the instances of EC2 service. It automates the code deployment and manages the complexities of updating the code to avoid downtime:

That’s all about DevOps in AWS.

Conclusion

DevOps is the integration of software development teams that are Development and Operations to optimize the working and efficiency of the process. AWS offers many services to purchase different resources on the cloud containing a conservative cost model. Combining both these platforms will boost the efficiency of DevOps as this guide has explained thoroughly.
