A company uses AWS CodeCommit for source control and wants to automate its continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline on AWS for its development environment. The company has three requirements:
1. A legal and security review must be performed for every code change to ensure that sensitive information is not exposed through the source code.
2. Each change must undergo unit testing.
3. Each change must undergo a suite of functional tests to verify functionality.
Additionally, the company has the following automation requirements:
1. Code changes must automatically initiate the CI/CD pipeline.
2. Any pipeline failure must notify [email protected].
3. Approval must be required to stage the assets to Amazon S3 after testing has completed.
What should a DevOps Engineer do to meet all these requirements while following CI/CD best practices?
Answer: C
AWS CodePipeline supports source, test, approval, and deploy actions arranged in ordered stages. A CodeCommit source branch can automatically start the pipeline; separate review and test stages enforce the required security, unit, and functional gates. A manual approval action pauses execution before an Amazon S3 deploy action. CloudWatch Events, now Amazon EventBridge, can detect CodePipeline state changes, and Amazon SNS can send the resulting failure notification to an email subscriber.
