AWS DevOps CI/CD Starter Project

Overview

This project demonstrates a basic CI/CD pipeline using AWS CodePipeline, CloudFormation, Lambda, and EC2.

• Lambda function written in Python (lambda/)
• Simple static frontend served from EC2 (frontend/)
• CloudFormation templates in cloudformation/
• Buildspec for CodeBuild to package Lambda

Setup

1. Replace your-key-name in cloudformation/main.yml with your EC2 key pair.
2. Push this repo to GitHub.
3. Create CodePipeline with:
   • Source: GitHub repo (main branch)
   • Build: AWS CodeBuild using buildspec.yml
   • Deploy: CloudFormation to deploy stack

Notes

• Lambda code is packaged and uploaded to S3 by CodeBuild.
• EC2 instance serves simple HTML on port 80.
• IAM roles are created via CloudFormation (roles.yml).
• You need to create or provide:
  • EC2 key pair
  • Permissions to create IAM roles/policies

Bonus

• Add API Gateway in lambda-deploy.yml to expose Lambda via HTTP.
• Add CloudWatch alarms for monitoring.
