Overview/Description

In this course, learners examine the essential features of AWS (Amazon Web Services) tools and services such as AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeDeploy, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CodeStar, and AWS CloudWatch to automate important DevOps and CloudOps tasks. This 14-video course recalls features of AWS CodePipeline and how to use it to create automated software release pipelines and deploy sample applications. Discover how to invoke AWS Lambda functions in pipelines using AWS CodePipeline. Set up AWS CodeDeploy to automate deployment of applications. Next, recall the concept of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and the role of AWS CloudFormation in IaC implementation and management. Understand features of AWS CodeStar to help facilitate developing, building, and deploying applications in AWS. You will learn to manage applications by using CodeStar, source repository, continuous deployment tool-chain, and a project dashboard, and to configure AWS CloudWatch to automate continuous monitoring of resource usage. Finally, discover how to implement continuous security monitoring by using AWS GuardDuty and recall the non-AWS tools that can be used to automate AWS DevOps and AWS CloudOps tasks.
