Getting Started with AWS CodeBuild

By -
AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed build service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces software packages that are ready to deploy. With CodeBuild, you don't need to provision, manage, and scale your own build servers. CodeBuild securely stores your code's source code and automatically tests and builds your applications on Linux and Windows.
CodeBuild helps you develop and test your code at a faster rate by quickly building, testing and deploying your code changes. You can set up continuous integration (CI) builds that automatically run unit and integration tests with every code change so that you can get fast feedback on your code changes. This helps you develop and deploy your code with confidence since CodeBuild will validate that your code changes don't break the existing functionality.  

Some key benefits of using AWS CodeBuild include:

- Fully managed build environment - CodeBuild provisions and manages the build environments ensuring your builds runs smoothly without any servers to maintain.

- Flexible build configuration - You can configure CodeBuild to run your builds on Linux, Windows, ARM or container image environments. Configure the runtime environment that matches your application needs.

- Integrated with version control systems - CodeBuild supports building directly from source code in AWS CodeCommit, GitHub, BitBucket and other supported version control systems, starting builds automatically on code change.

- Automatic scaling - CodeBuild can automatically scale up or down build capacity based on demand ensuring fast build times without capacity constraints. 

- Security and access control - CodeBuild builds are isolated and secure with configurable IAM roles and policies to control access.

In summary, AWS CodeBuild takes away the undifferentiated heavy lifting of provisioning, operating, and scaling your own build servers. It offers a fully managed build service that accelerates your development process by enabling fast and automated builds, testing and deployments with every code change.

Getting Started with Amazon Athena

By -
Image
Amazon Athena is an interactive query service that makes it easy to analyze data directly in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. Athena is serverless, so there is no infrastructure to manage, and you pay only for the queries that you run. With Athena, data analysts, scientists, and developers can directly query datasets stored in Amazon S3 to gain insights without having to load the data into databases or maintain databases. Athena allows you to analyze large datasets in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. With just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, you can point Athena at your data stored in S3 buckets and start querying it using standard SQL. You don't need to set up any infrastructure or load your data into databases. You pay per query with no setup costs. Athena scales automatically—running queries on petabytes of data is as easy as querying gigabytes of data. It's even integrated with business intelligence (BI) tools like Tableau, QuickSight, and Microsoft Power...

Getting Started with AWS Config

AWS Config provides a detailed view of the configuration of AWS resources in your AWS account. It allows you to view configuration history, detect unauthorized configuration changes, and evaluate your resources' compliance against rules and best practices. AWS Config continuously monitors and records configuration changes to your AWS resources. This allows you to understand their relationships and how they are configured over time.  With AWS Config, you can enable recording of configuration changes for supported resource types like EC2 instances, S3 buckets, Lambda functions, and more. It will build a configuration history for each of your resources. You can then write rules to evaluate if a resource is compliant or non-compliant based on certain configurations. For example, you could write a rule to detect if a S3 bucket doesn't have versioning enabled. AWS Config will then evaluate all your S3 buckets and report any that don't meet the requirement. Some key b...

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) allows you to securely control access to AWS services and resources for your users. With IAM, you can create and manage AWS users and groups, and use permissions to allow and deny their access to AWS resources. IAM allows you to control who in your organization has access to which AWS services and resources. IAM is a feature of AWS that allows you to create users and groups within your AWS account, assign permissions to those users and groups, and use credentials to allow and deny access to resources like EC2 instances, S3 buckets, Lambda functions and more. With IAM you can centrally manage users, security credentials like access keys, and permissions to help ensure secure access to AWS resources.  When you first create an AWS account, you begin with a single sign-in identity that has complete access to all AWS services and resources in the account. Using IAM, you can add additional users to your AWS account, without having to ...
