1. Introduction to Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services like storage, processing power,
and software applications over the internet ("the cloud"). It allows businesses to
access and use technology resources without needing to invest heavily in infrastructure.
Types of Cloud Services:
- IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): Provides virtualized computing resources over the internet.
- PaaS (Platform as a Service): Offers hardware and software tools over the internet, usually for
application development.
- SaaS (Software as a Service): Delivers software applications over the internet, eliminating the
need for users to install or maintain them.
Types of Cloud Deployments:
- Public Cloud: Services are delivered over the public internet and shared across different users.
- Private Cloud: Services are maintained on a private network, providing more control over security.
- Hybrid Cloud: A mix of both public and private cloud environments.
Advantages of Cloud Computing:
- Scalability
- Cost Efficiency
- Flexibility and Accessibility
- Disaster Recovery
- Security
2. Introduction to DevOps
What is DevOps?
DevOps is a set of practices that aims to automate and integrate the processes of
software development and IT operations. Its goal is to shorten the development lifecycle
and deliver high-quality software continuously.
Key Principles of DevOps:
- Collaboration: Developers and IT Operations work together to improve the quality of software.
- Automation: Automation of repetitive tasks such as testing, building, and deployment.
- Continuous Delivery: Software is always in a deployable state.
- Feedback Loops: Continuous feedback from users and system monitoring to enhance quality.
3. AWS DevOps Tools
- AWS CodePipeline: A fully managed continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD)
service that automates your build, test, and deploy pipelines for fast and reliable application
and infrastructure updates.
- AWS CodeCommit: A secure, scalable, managed source control service that you can use to host
Git repositories.
- AWS CodeBuild: A fully managed build service that compiles source code, runs tests, and
produces software packages ready for deployment.
- AWS CodeDeploy: A deployment service that automates software deployments to a variety of
compute services including Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, and on-premises servers.
