Complete CI/CD with AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodeDeploy, and AWS

An integral part of DevOps is adopting the culture of continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment (CI/CD), where a commit or change to code passes through various automated stage gates, all the way from building and testing to deploying applications, from development to production environments.

The goal is to promote a code commit or change to pass through various automated stage gates all the way from development to production environments, across AWS accounts. We use the dev account to deploy and set up the CI/CD pipeline, along with the source code repo.

The prod account is any other account where the application is required to be deployed from the pipeline in the dev account.

In this post, the deployment pipeline using CodePipeline is set up in the dev account, but it has permissions to deploy the application in the prod account.
