\"Automate<\/p>

As a web developer, your work may include several complex tasks such as code deployment automation to production servers or if you work in a group and face issues while uploading your code to a live website, then this blog post is a solution to overcome all such issues.<\/span><\/p>

When using FTP, you must have overwritten the code of your co-developer, an issue that is quite common and happens with most of us. This guide will show you the code deployment automation with AWS CodeCommit, CodeDeploy, and Pipeline services.<\/span><\/p>

The Technological Overview: <\/b><\/p>

    \n
  1. AWS CodeCommit<\/b>: We will use CodeCommit to maintain our repositories (Web Content\/Code Files) that will hold all project files and commit logs.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. EC2 Server<\/b>: We will use EC2 as our production server, it will contain the live site and code for your website visitors.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. AWS CodeDeploy<\/b>: It will hold the application to publish your code to the EC2 server. We will also create a Deployment Group that will hold the name\/tag of the targeted EC2 instance where we wish to publish our code.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Pipeline<\/b>: We will select CodeCommit as our source and CodeDeploy as our deploy stage. Therefore, whenever any code changes are detected in CodeCommit, the pipeline will run and push those code changes to CodeDeploy (EC2 Instance).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>

    Creating an IAM and Git User for Code Deployment Automation<\/b><\/h3>

    We will first need to create an IAM user and Git User that will make the code changes and publish them on the deployment server.<\/span><\/p>

      \n
    1. Create an IAM User<\/b>\n
        \n
      1. Allow Access to<\/b>: AWSCodeCommitFullAccess, AWSCodeDeployFullAccess, AWSCodeCommitPowerUser. You will find this option in the “Attach existing policies directly” tab.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      2. Now, log in with this IAM user.<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Click on <\/span>Security Credentials<\/b> from the top right corner.<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Click on the <\/span>AWS CodeCommit credentials<\/b> tab.<\/span><\/li>\n
      5. Under the “HTTPS Git credentials for AWS CodeCommit” section, click on the <\/span>Generate Credential<\/b> button.<\/span><\/li>\n
      6. Now, copy that username and password in a safe place. This will be your Git’s main username and password to push\/pull code changes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>

         <\/p>

        Creating a Repository in CodeCommit<\/b><\/h3>

        Now, let’s create a repository that will hold your exact code.<\/span><\/p>

          \n
        1. Go to <\/span>CodeCommit Dashboard<\/b><\/i><\/a> from the IAM User.<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. At the top right corner, select the region where you want to create your repository.<\/span><\/li>\n
        3. Click on Create repository, give it a name, description, and click on create.<\/span><\/li>\n
        4.  Under the “Clone the repository<\/b>” section, you will see a URL of your repository. Save it in a safe place. It will look like: https:\/\/git-codecommit.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/v1\/repos\/HarryTest<\/b><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>

          Uploading your project file for the first time<\/b><\/p>

            \n
          1. Open the <\/span>command prompt <\/b>of your local system where your original code resides.<\/span><\/li>\n
          2. In the command prompt, navigate to the path where your code resides.<\/span><\/li>\n
          3. Now, run the following commands to push your code to the AWS repository for the first time:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>

            git init
            \ngit config –local init.defaultBranch main
            \ngit config –global init.defaultBranch main
            \ngit add . ## this will commit all files of the project
            \ngit commit –m “Initial commit”
            \ngit push https:\/\/git-codecommit.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/v1\/repos\/HarryTest –all<\/p><\/blockquote>
