Who is this presentation for?

  • Architects and engineers

Level

Advanced

Prerequisite knowledge

  • Familiarity with continuous delivery
  • A working knowledge of at least one build system (e.g., Jenkins, Travis CI, or AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild)

Materials or downloads needed in advance

  • A laptop configured to access the AWS account via the AWS CLI
  • An AWS account with administrator-level access
  • Download sample code and infrastructure templates from course GitHub repository (link TBD)

What you'll learn

  • Explore advanced continuous delivery techniques, demonstrated via AWS technologies but applicable to other ephemeral build systems
  • Learn advanced Maven and NPM build techniques

Description

In a follow-up to his well-received tutorial last year, John Chapin offers an overview of existing cloud native build systems and outlines their benefits and drawbacks, including cost efficiency, environment stability, and provenance. Drawing on a real-world use case involving a Maven-based build and a serverless application architecture, John walks you step-by-step through the various stages of a naive continuous delivery pipeline, including source control integration, artifact builds, and an infrastructure-as-code-style deployment. John concludes by demonstrating an optimized continuous delivery pipeline that incorporates advanced CodePipeline and CodeBuild techniques to reduce the overall build time and shrink the continuous delivery feedback loop while still realizing all of the benefits of an on-demand, ephemeral build system.

Note that while John will cover the same basics as last year, all examples will be updated to reflect the latest CodePipeline and CodeBuild features. Sample code and infrastructure templates will be made available.

Hi Marek,

Here’s the Github link – there may continue to be some minor updates before the tutorial: https://github.com/symphoniacloud/sacon-san-jose-2019-continuous-delivery

Full access to the following AWS services is required: CloudFormation, CodeCommit, CodePipeline, CodeBuild, IAM, SNS, S3, and Lambda.

Hello, two questions:
- will there be GitHub links?
- what kind of AWS permissions will we need more specifically? (→ Administrator access)
