In this advanced lab, you will design and implement a cross-account continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipeline using AWS CodePipeline and associated services. You'll follow best practices for cross-account roles, integrate with AWS CodeBuild for build automation, and execute deployments on AWS Lambda. This lab considers real-world scenarios where applications are deployed across various accounts to maintain security and isolation. You will begin by setting up cross-account roles to allow CodePipeline to operate across different accounts securely. Next, you'll integrate AWS CodeBuild to compile and test the code within these accounts. The pipeline will further connect to AWS CodeDeploy to manage the deployment of the Lambda functions in a controlled manner. This lab emphasizes automation, security, and the efficient management of resources across AWS accounts. By the end of this lab, you will have a working pipeline that automates the building, testing, and deployment process across separate AWS accounts. This exercise will enhance your understanding of CI/CD processes, security practices in AWS, and orchestration of AWS services for cross-account operations.
TechSolutionCo, a growing enterprise with multiple business units, requires a flexible CI/CD pipeline to deploy applications across its development and production accounts. Security and account isolation are critical, as each business unit operates independently. Additionally, automation of the build and deployment process is necessary to streamline their software development lifecycle, ensuring faster and more secure application updates.
