AWS Code Build
Let’s Build Software
Software Build Process
When we write code on various languages like Java, C and others, we need to compile to
code.
The output of the compilation is the binary that is executable.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello!"); Compiler
return 0;

Overview of Code Pipeline
AWS Codepipeline is a continuous delivery service to automate steps required to release
the software.
It allows us to launch the entire continuous delivery toolchain in minutes, allowing
releasing code faster.
Code Commit Code Build Code Deploy

Important Pointer - Code Pipeline
Codepipeline automatically triggers your pipeline whenever there is a commit in the
source repository.
● Output artifact is ingested into input artifact to the Build stage.
● Output artifact from build stage (build) acts as input to the deploy stage.

Introduction
Docker is an open platform, once we build a docker container, we can run it anywhere, say
it windows, linux, mac whether on laptop, data center or in cloud.
It follows the build once, run anywhere approach.

Containers vs Virtual Machines
Virtual Machine contains entire Operating System.
Container uses the resource of the host operating system

Importance of Container Orchestration
Container Orchestration can be used to perform lot of tasks, some of them includes:
● Provisioning and deployment of containers
● Scaling up or removing containers to spread application load evenly
● Movement of containers from one host to another if there is a shortage of resources
● Load balancing of service discovery between containers
● Health monitoring of containers and hosts
knowledge portal
Container Orchestration Solutions
There are many container orchestration solutions which are available, some of the popular
ones include:
● Docker Swarm
● Kubernetes
● Apache Mesos
● Elastic Container Service (AWS ECS)
There are also various container orchestration platforms available like EKS.

Important Difference
Pointers AWS EKS AWS ECS
Open-Source Yes No
Complexity More Complex Less Complex
Community Support More Less
knowledge portal
Choosing Right Orchestrator
If you plan to work exclusively on AWS, you should choose ECS as it offers more in-depth AWS
integration than Amazon EKS.
Organizations with limited expertise and insufficient resources to invest in learning Kubernetes
can go with ECS.
If you plan to deploy containers across multiple platforms, you can choose EKS.
