AWS Immersion: Using Devops Automation for AWS Deployments

Using DevOps Automation for AWS Deployments is the first immersion in a learning path that will prepare the student for the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional exam.

The brown bag has 3 sections, and the first sections defines DevOps and the DevOps engineer professions. Section one goes on to define CI/CD automation, Disaster Recovery techniques, and Blue/Green Deployments. These are key concepts the DevOps Engineer must master for both the profession and the certification exam.

The second section of the brown bag takes a deep dive on the AWS Developer Tools suite, and it’s core components: CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline. These services are covered heavily in the DevOps Pro certification exam and warrant the detail and attention given in this section.

The final section revisits Blue/Green deployments in greater detail, as the topic is heavily covered on the exam, and also covers key topics related to Blue/Green deployments: Canary Deployments, and A/B Testing.
