In the Upcoming next 4 days, I will be making an CI/CD pipeline on AWS with these tools.

What is CodeBuild?

AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed build service in the cloud. CodeBuild compiles your source code, runs unit tests, and produces artifacts that are ready to deploy. CodeBuild eliminates the need to provision, manage, and scale your own build servers. It provides prepackaged build environments for popular programming languages and builds tools such as Apache Maven, Gradle, and more. You can also customize build environments in CodeBuild to use your own build tools. CodeBuild scales automatically to meet peak build requests.
CodeBuild provides these benefits:

Fully managed – CodeBuild eliminates the need to set up, patch, update, and manage your own build servers.
On-demand – CodeBuild scales on demand to meet your build needs. You pay only for the number of build minutes you consume.
Out of the box – CodeBuild provides preconfigured build environments for the most popular programming languages. All you need to do is point to your build script to start your first build.

Why we use AWS CodeBuild:

Automated build process
Scalable for any workload size
Cost-effective pay-as-you-go pricing
Seamless integration with AWS services and third-party tools
Customizable build environments
Secure build and testing environment
Supports multiple programming languages and platforms
Detailed logs and monitoring capabilities

First, we will make AWS Commit and then move to AWS CodeBuild but if have already watched my previous blog then you can skip this part.

AWS CodeCommit

Let's setup an IAM User for AWS CodeCommit.

Step-01: Go to the IAM service in AWS Console and click on Users and then click on Add User.

Step-02: Click on Next:Permissions and then click on Attach existing policies directly and then select AWSCodeCommitFullAccess then click on Next:Tags.

Step-03: Click on Next:Review and then click on Create User and thus we have created an IAM User for AWS CodeCommit.

Now we will see how to add HTTP GitCredentials in your AWS IAM.

Step-01: Go to IAM > Users > Security Credentials.

Step-02: Scroll down to HTTPS Git credentials for AWS CodeCommit and then click on Generate credentials
HTTPS Git credentials for AWS CodeCommit > Generate > Download Credentials.

Thus we have Generated Credentials for our IAM User saved it in a safe place it will be used in the future.

Now we will see how to create a repository in AWS CodeCommit.

Step-01: Go to CodeCommit service in AWS Console and click on Create repository.

Step-02: Enter the Repository name and then click on Create repository.

Thus we have created a Repository in AWS CodeCommit.

Let's create an EC2 Instance that will clone our CodeCommit Repository.

Step-01: Go to EC2 service AWS Console and click on Launch Instance and then select Ubuntu Server 22.04 and then click on Select.

Step-02: Select t2.micro and then use existing key-pair or create new key-pair.

Step-03: Click on Network Settings.

Now log in to the EC2 instance via SSH and open Terminal.

Now Before moving forward Go to CodeCommit and click on Clone URL and copy the HTTPS URL.

**Step-01:**Now we will clone the CodeCommit Repository in our EC2 Instance.

git clone <HTTPS URL>
# The URL which is copied from CodeCommit
# Enter the UserName and Password which we downloaded for HTTP and git credentials.

After this, we can see that the repository is cloned in our local machine.

ls
cd <repository which we have cloned>

Let's create a file in our repository and then push it to CodeCommit.

vim index.html

Thus we have created a index.html file in our repository or you can use your own.

Now we will push our code to AWS CodeCommit.

git add .
git commit -m "Added index.html file"

git push origin master

Thus we have pushed our code to AWS CodeCommit.

(So this is what we have learned on Day 50 of #90DaysofDevOps. Now we will see how to use AWS CodeBuild.)

Task-01 :

Read about the Buildspec file for Codebuild it can be written in YAML or JSON.

version: Specifies the version of the BuildSpec file. The current version is 0.2.
phases: This section defines the different phases of the build process, such as install, pre_build, build, post_build, and finalize. Each phase can have a series of commands will be executed in order.
artifacts: In this section, you specify the files and directories that should be packaged and made available as build artifacts after the build process is complete. These artifacts can be used in the subsequent deployment stages.
cache: If you want to speed up the build process by caching certain dependencies or build artifacts, you can specify caching settings in this section.
environment: Here, you can define environment variables that will be available during the build process. You can set variables specific to each build phase or shared across all phases.
source: Defines the source code location for the build. You specify the repository type (e.g., GitHub, Bitbucket), the source code location, and any authentication credentials if needed.
logs: Specifies the configuration for storing build logs, such as the AWS S3 bucket optional encryption settings.

Task-02 :

Let's create a `buildspec.yml` file in our repository for our index.html file.

version: 0.2

phases:
  install:
    commands:
      - echo Installing NGINX
      - sudo apt-get update
      - sudo apt-get install nginx -y
  build:
    commands:
      - echo Build started on 'date'
      - cp index.html /var/www/html/
  post_build:
    commands:
      - echo Configuring NGINX

artifacts:
  files:
    - /var/www/html/index.html

Create vim buildspec.yml a file in your repository.

Now we will push this file to our repository.

git add .
git commit -m "Added buildspec.yml file"

git push origin master

Now let's create a CodeBuild project in AWS Console.

Step-01: Create a CodeBuild Project.

Step-02: Give a name to your CodeBuild Project.

Step-03: Select your source provider and repository.

Step-04: Select your environment and operating system.

Thus we have created our CodeBuild Project.
Now we will start the build so click on Start Build.

Wait for Untill the Build is finished.

Now we will create an AWS S3 bucket to add our build artifacts.

Step-01: Go to AWS S3 and create a bucket.

Step-02: Give a name to your bucket and create it.

Thus we have created our S3 bucket.

Now go to `CodeBuild` and `edit` your `CodeBuild Project` and `edit artifacts`.

Step-01: Go to CodeBuild and edit your CodeBuild Project and edit artifacts.

Step-02: Select your S3 bucket and give a name to your build artifacts.

Step-03: Save your changes and start the build again so that the artifacts are uploaded to your S3 bucket.

Step-04: Wait until the build is finished and after this check build is finished go to your S3 bucket and check if the artifacts are uploaded or not.

Step-05: Now go inside your artifacts and then /var/www/html/ and check if the index.html the file is present or not.

Step-06: Click on the open button and check if the index.html the file is present or not.
