# Deploying and Managing Infrastructure at Scale
|
||
|
||
## What is CloudFormation
|
||
|
||
* CloudFormation is a declarative way of outlining your AWS Infrastructure, for any resources (most of them are supported).
|
||
* For example, within a CloudFormation template, you say:
|
||
* I want a security group
|
||
* I want two EC2 instances using this security group
|
||
* I want an S3 bucket
|
||
* I want a load balancer (ELB) in front of these machines
|
||
* Then CloudFormation creates those for you, in the right order, with the exact configuration that you specify
|
||
|
||
### Benefits of AWS CloudFormation
|
||
|
||
* Infrastructure as code
|
||
* No resources are manually created, which is excellent for control
|
||
* Changes to the infrastructure are reviewed through code
|
||
* Cost
|
||
* Each resources within the stack is tagged with an identifier so you can easily see how much a stack costs you
|
||
* You can estimate the costs of your resources using the CloudFormation template
|
||
* Savings strategy: In Dev, you could automation deletion of templates at 5 PM and recreated at 8 AM, safely
|
||
* Productivity
|
||
* Ability to destroy and re-create an infrastructure on the cloud on the fly
|
||
* Automated generation of Diagram for your templates!
|
||
* Declarative programming (no need to figure out ordering and orchestration)
|
||
* Don’t re-invent the wheel
|
||
* Leverage existing templates on the web!
|
||
* Leverage the documentation
|
||
* Supports (almost) all AWS resources:
|
||
* Everything we’ll see in this course is supported
|
||
* You can use “custom resources” for resources that are not supported
|
||
|
||
### CloudFormation Stack Designer
|
||
|
||
* Example: WordPress CloudFormation Stack
|
||
* We can see all the resources
|
||
* We can see the relations between the components
|
||
|
||
## AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK)
|
||
|
||
* Define your cloud infrastructure using a familiar language:
|
||
* JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, and .NET
|
||
* The code is “compiled” into a CloudFormation template (JSON/YAML)
|
||
* You can therefore deploy infrastructure and application runtime code together
|
||
* Great for Lambda functions
|
||
* Great for Docker containers in ECS / EKS
|
||
|
||
## Developer problems on AWS
|
||
|
||
* Managing infrastructure
|
||
* Deploying Code
|
||
* Configuring all the databases, load balancers, etc
|
||
* Scaling concerns
|
||
* Most web apps have the same architecture (ALB + ASG)
|
||
* All the developers want is for their code to run!
|
||
* Possibly, consistently across different applications and environments
|
||
|
||
## AWS Elastic Beanstalk Overview
|
||
|
||
* Elastic Beanstalk is a developer centric view of deploying an application on AWS
|
||
* It uses all the component’s we’ve seen before: EC2, ASG, ELB, RDS, etc…
|
||
* But it’s all in one view that’s easy to make sense of!
|
||
* We still have full control over the configuration
|
||
* Beanstalk = Platform as a Service (PaaS)
|
||
* Beanstalk is free but you pay for the underlying instances
|
||
* Managed service
|
||
* Instance configuration / OS is handled by Beanstalk
|
||
* Deployment strategy is configurable but performed by Elastic Beanstalk
|
||
* Capacity provisioning
|
||
* Load balancing & auto-scaling
|
||
* Application health-monitoring & responsiveness
|
||
* Just the application code is the responsibility of the developer
|
||
* Three architecture models:
|
||
* Single Instance deployment: good for dev
|
||
* LB + ASG: great for production or pre-production web applications
|
||
* ASG only: great for non-web apps in production (workers, etc..)
|
||
|
||
* Support for many platforms:
|
||
* Go
|
||
* Java SE
|
||
* Java with Tomcat
|
||
* .NET on Windows Server with IIS
|
||
* Node.js
|
||
* PHP
|
||
* Python
|
||
* Ruby
|
||
* Packer Builder
|
||
* Single Container Docker
|
||
* Multi-Container Docker
|
||
* Preconfigured Docker
|
||
|
||
### Elastic Beanstalk – Health Monitoring
|
||
|
||
* Health agent pushes metrics to CloudWatch
|
||
* Checks for app health, publishes health events
|
||
|
||
## AWS CodeDeploy
|
||
|
||
* We want to deploy our application automatically
|
||
* Works with EC2 Instances
|
||
* Works with On-Premises Servers
|
||
* Hybrid service
|
||
* Servers / Instances must be provisioned and configured ahead of time with the CodeDeploy Agent
|
||
|
||
## AWS CodeCommit
|
||
|
||
* Before pushing the application code to servers, it needs to be stored somewhere
|
||
* Developers usually store code in a repository, using the Git technology
|
||
* A famous public offering is GitHub, AWS’ competing product is CodeCommit
|
||
* CodeCommit:
|
||
* Source-control service that hosts Git-based repositories
|
||
* Makes it easy to collaborate with others on code
|
||
* The code changes are automatically versioned
|
||
* Benefits:
|
||
* Fully managed
|
||
* Scalable & highly available
|
||
* Private, Secured, Integrated with AWS
|
||
|
||
## AWS CodeBuild
|
||
|
||
* Code building service in the cloud (name is obvious)
|
||
* Compiles source code, run tests, and produces packages that are ready to be deployed (by CodeDeploy for example)
|
||
* Benefits:
|
||
* Fully managed, serverless
|
||
* Continuously scalable & highly available
|
||
* Secure
|
||
* Pay-as-you-go pricing – only pay for the build time
|
||
|
||
## AWS CodePipeline
|
||
|
||
* Orchestrate the different steps to have the code automatically pushed to production
|
||
* Code => Build => Test => Provision => Deploy
|
||
* Basis for CICD (Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery)
|
||
* Benefits:
|
||
* Fully managed, compatible with CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, Elastic Beanstalk, CloudFormation, GitHub, 3rd-party services (GitHub…) & custom plugins…
|
||
* Fast delivery & rapid updates
|
||
|
||
* CodePipeline: orchestration layer
|
||
* CodeCommit => CodeBuild => CodeDeploy => Elastic Beanstalk
|
||
|
||
## AWS CodeArtifact
|
||
|
||
* Software packages depend on each other to be built (also called code dependencies), and new ones are created
|
||
* Storing and retrieving these dependencies is called artifact management
|
||
* Traditionally you need to setup your own artifact management system
|
||
* CodeArtifact is a secure, scalable, and cost-effective artifact management for software development
|
||
* Works with common dependency management tools such as Maven, Gradle, npm, yarn, twine, pip, and NuGet
|
||
* Developers and CodeBuild can then retrieve dependencies straight from CodeArtifact
|
||
|
||
## AWS CodeStar
|
||
|
||
* Unified UI to easily manage software development activities in one place
|
||
* “Quick way” to get started to correctly set-up CodeCommit, CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, Elastic Beanstalk, EC2, etc…
|
||
* Can edit the code ”in-the-cloud” using AWS Cloud9
|
||
|
||
## AWS Cloud9
|
||
|
||
* AWS Cloud9 is a cloud IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for writing, running and debugging code
|
||
* “Classic” IDE (like IntelliJ, Visual Studio Code…) are downloaded on a computer before being used
|
||
* A cloud IDE can be used within a web browser, meaning you can work on your projects from your office, home, or anywhere with internet with no setup necessary
|
||
* AWS Cloud9 also allows for code collaboration in real-time (pair programming)
|
||
|
||
## AWS Systems Manager (SSM)
|
||
|
||
* Helps you manage your EC2 and On-Premises systems at scale
|
||
* Another Hybrid AWS service
|
||
* Get operational insights about the state of your infrastructure
|
||
* Suite of 10+ products
|
||
* Most important features are:
|
||
* Patching automation for enhanced compliance
|
||
* Run commands across an entire fleet of servers
|
||
* Store parameter configuration with the SSM Parameter Store
|
||
* Works for both Windows and Linux OS
|
||
|
||
### How Systems Manager works
|
||
|
||
* We need to install the SSM agent onto the systems we control
|
||
* Installed by default on Amazon Linux AMI & some Ubuntu AMI
|
||
* If an instance can’t be controlled with SSM, it’s probably an issue with the SSM agent!
|
||
* Thanks to the SSM agent, we can run commands, patch & configure our servers
|
||
|
||
### Systems Manager – SSM Session Manager
|
||
|
||
* Allows you to start a secure shell on your EC2 and on-premises servers
|
||
* No SSH access, bastion hosts, or SSH keys needed
|
||
* No port 22 needed (better security)
|
||
* Supports Linux, macOS, and Windows
|
||
* Send session log data to S3 or CloudWatch Logs
|
||
|
||
## AWS OpsWorks
|
||
|
||
* Chef & Puppet help you perform server configuration automatically, or repetitive actions
|
||
* They work great with EC2 & On-Premises VM
|
||
* AWS OpsWorks = Managed Chef & Puppet
|
||
* It’s an alternative to AWS SSM
|
||
* Only provision standard AWS resources:
|
||
* EC2 Instances, Databases, Load Balancers, EBS volumes…
|
||
* **Chef or Puppet needed => AWS OpsWorks**
|
||
|
||
