AWS CodeBuild

What is AWS CodeBuild?

AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed build service in the cloud. CodeBuild compiles your source code, runs unit tests, and produces artifacts that are ready to deploy. CodeBuild eliminates the need to provision, manage, and scale your own build servers. It provides prepackaged build environments for popular programming languages and build tools such as Apache Maven, Gradle, and more. You can also customize build environments in CodeBuild to use your own build tools. CodeBuild scales automatically to meet peak build requests.

CodeBuild provides these benefits:

 • Fully managed – CodeBuild eliminates the need to set up, patch, update, and manage your own build servers. 

• On demand – CodeBuild scales on demand to meet your build needs. You pay only for the number of build minutes you consume. 

• Out of the box – CodeBuild provides preconfigured build environments for the most popular programming languages. 

All you need to do is point to your build script to start your first build. 

How CodeBuild works

The following diagram shows what happens when you run a build with CodeBuild:

  1. As input, you must provide CodeBuild with a build project. A build project includes information about how to run a build, including where to get the source code, which build environment to use, which build commands to run, and where to store the build output. A build environment represents a combination of operating system, programming language runtime, and tools that CodeBuild uses to run a build. 

  2. CodeBuild uses the build project to create the build environment.

  3. CodeBuild downloads the source code into the build environment and then uses the build specification (buildspec), as defined in the build project or included directly in the source code. A buildspec is a collection of build commands and related settings, in YAML format, that CodeBuild uses to run a build. 

  4. If there is any build output, the build environment uploads its output to an S3 bucket. The build environment can also perform tasks that you specify in the buildspec (for example, sending build notifications to an Amazon SNS topic). 

  5. While the build is running, the build environment sends information to CodeBuild and Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

  6. While the build is running, you can use the AWS CodeBuild console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs to get summarized build information from CodeBuild and detailed build information from Amazon CloudWatch Logs. If you use AWS CodePipeline to run builds, you can get limited build information from CodePipeline.

Different Types of Reports in Scrum - Agile

  Introduction to Agile Reporting I’m not going to elaborate on the Agile Framework itself here.  1. Sprint Burndown At a Sprint-level, the burndown presents the  easiest way to track and report status  (the proverbial  Red / Amber / Green ), i.e., whether your Sprint is on or off-track, and what are the chances of meeting the Sprint goals. The burndown chart – when used right – can provide  near-real time updates  on Sprint progress. “If your team do it right, then they would take in just the right amount of work into a sprint.” At the beginning of a Sprint, the Scrum team perform Sprint Planning and agree to take on development work worth a certain number of Story points. This forms the basis for the Sprint Burndown chart. The total story points agreed at the beginning of the sprint make up the y-axis, and the individual dates in the Sprint make up x-axis. If your team do it right, then they would take in just the right amount of work into ...

Terraform

  Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that lets you build, change, and version cloud and on-prem resources safely and efficiently. HashiCorp Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that lets you define both cloud and on-prem resources in human-readable configuration files that you can version, reuse, and share. You can then use a consistent workflow to provision and manage all of your infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. Terraform can manage low-level components like compute, storage, and networking resources, as well as high-level components like DNS entries and SaaS features. How does Terraform work? Terraform creates and manages resources on cloud platforms and other services through their application programming interfaces (APIs). Providers enable Terraform to work with virtually any platform or service with an accessible API. HashiCorp and the Terraform community have already written  thousands of providers  to manage many different types of resources...

Understanding the MoSCoW prioritization | How to implement it into your project Projects, irrespective of their size or complexity, often juggle numerous tasks and requirements. In such a scenario,  MoSCoW prioritization  becomes essential to ensure the successful completion of the project.  Besides, it is also a very effective way to manage project priorities. With a straightforward and adaptable approach, the MoSCoW method helps manage stakeholder expectations and improve project outcomes. What is the MoSCoW prioritization technique?  The MoSCoW method is a prioritization matrix widely used in project management and software development. The term MoSCoW is an acronym that stands for  Must have ,  Should have ,  Could have , and  Won’t have , each denoting a level of priority.
