Software Delivery faster with a step by step guide on creating a CI/CD Pipeline

The CI/CD process is important because it makes deploying processes easier and more predictable. It also brings consistency and reliability to the software development process, resulting in improved collaboration between development teams and operations, lower costs and better applications.

There is a lot of information on how to develop a CI/CD strategy and create a CI/CD pipeline but not every step in a build can be straightforward. This webinar will further help you understand what options and decisions to take to help you build an effective CI/CD pipeline.

Join us at a DevOps bitesize workshop with John Walker, Head of Cloud Architecture at CirrusHQ to learn how to set up a Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (or Continuous Deployment) pipeline to allow for automation of releasing new code into your environments.

This workshop will include details on:

• How to create a CI/CD pipeline with CodePipeline
• How to connect your GitHub account to AWS via a CodeStar Connection
• How to set up CodeBuild to package up your code in a cost-efficient way
• How to set up CodeDeploy to deliver your code to an EC2 environment
• How to deploy a Lambda Function using CloudFormation
• How to use CloudFormation to set up all of these services as Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
• We'll touch on how this can also be done via TerraForm (We won't go into as much detail here, but show how the process is similar)

There will be a short presentation and a demo of the setup, and at the end, the recording, slides and demo templates will be provided. We’ll be aiming to cover all of the topics in 45 minutes, to allow as many of our Edinburgh DevOps members to join as possible and not take up too much of your lunchtime or day in general.
