5th article

As a reference, please read my 5th article - 6-part series - (5) Create a CodeBuild Project, upload the code and push it to the master repository

Let’s get started!

Please visit my GitHub Repository for CI-CD/Docker/ECS/ECR articles on various topics being updated on constant basis.

Objectives:

1. Create a CodePipeline

2. Add S3 policy to the role created by Codepipeline

3. Go to the CodePipeline, modify the Deploy stage

4. Test the Pipeline

5. Add, commit and push the file index.html to the remote repository’s master branch

6. Delete all the following services.

Pre-requisites:

AWS user account with admin access, not a root account.
AWS CLI.

Resources Used:

CodeCommit

CodeBuild

CodeDeploy

AWS CodePipeline

Steps for implementation to this project

1. Create a CodePipeline

on CodePipeline under Developer Tools, Pipelines, Create pipeline, my_codepipeline, Next

1. Add Source stage

Source provider : Choose AWS CodeCommit, Repository name : my-codecommit-repo, Branch name : master, default, Next

2. Add build stage

Build provider : Choose AWS CodeBuild, Region : Default (US East N.Virginia), Project name : Choose my_codebuild_project, default, Next

3. Add deploy stage

Deploy provider : Choose Amazon ECS, Cluster name : my_cluster, Service name : Choose my_service, Image definitions file : Enter imagedefinitions.json, Next

Create Pipeline.

Source - AWS CodeCommit succeeded

Build - AWS CodeBuild succeeded

Deploy - AWS CodeDeploy failed

Failed - Due to insufficient permissions as the created role does not have S3 permissions
Add S3 policy to the role created by Codepipeline.

2. Add S3 policy to the role created by Codepipeline

On the IAM console, Roles, search and click for the role starting with AWSCodePipelineServiceRole-us-east-1-my-codepipeline which was created with the codepipeline, On the Permissions tab, Add permissions, Attach policies, Search and select AmazonS3FullAccess, Attach policies

3. Go to the CodePipeline, modify the Deploy stage

my-codepipeline, Edit in the Pipeline, edit the Deploy stage
Click on the Edit symbol.

In the Input artifacts, choose SourceArtifact, Done, Save and Save, Now click on Release change, Release

you can see that the pipeline restarts execution and it works now

4. Test the Pipeline

On to the EC2 instance terminal

sudo su
cd /opt/docker/my-codecommit-repo

the index.html file

vi index.html, add the following code, save the file

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Codepipeline Project</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>This is my Codepipeline with ECR, ECS, CodeCommit, CodeBuild and CodePipeline! </h1>
  </body>
</html>

5. Add, commit and push the file index.html to the remote repository’s master branch

git add .

git status

git commit -m "changing index.html File"

git push

Wait for 4-5 minutes till all the execution stages are Successful.
Now, copy the load balancer DNS and paste it in a browser tab to check the changes done you made in the index.html file.

We have successfully deployed the CI/CD Pipeline for ECR, ECS, CodeCommit and CodeBuild

6. Delete all the following services

EC2 Instance
Application Load Balancer
Target Groups
ECR Repository
ECS Cluster
ECS Task Definitions
CodeCommit Repository - Desired tasks to 0
CodeBuild Project
CodePipeline
S3 Bucket
