The CodePipeline suite is a solution developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS) for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). It can be used to create automated pipelines on the AWS environment and allows the deployment of code modifications on the go. This course explains the fundamentals of the DevOps culture and why organizations adopt it. 

In this course, you will learn how the different components of AWS CodePipeline work together, from managing repositories to building automation and handling CI and CD alike. You will first get introduced to continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment, followed by various CI/CD tools. Next, you will learn the basics of CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline. Finally, you will use CodePipeline to deploy a Java application. 

This course will help you form a strong foundation in DevOps tools. By the end of this course, you’ll gain hands-on experience deploying a Node.js and Java application using the CodePipeline suite.

CI/CD Using Native Tools Available on AWS

**AWS CodeBuild** is a continuous integration service offered by AWS that allows us to build our application code into a production-ready version. CodeBuild typically takes our code and does the following:

- Compiles the source code
- Runs the unit tests that are written in the test scripts
- Produces a build artifact that you can then deploy to different environments


When we have our continuous integration tool installed in our environment, we do not need to provide or scale any infrastructure when using CodeBuild, as AWS will cater to this. CodeBuild has support for our application written in different languages.

# What does AWS CodeBuild offer?

The following are some of the benefits of using AWS CodeBuild:

- We are not required to manage any software or hardware.
- We can easily integrate CodeBuild with GitHub or Atlassian Bitbucket and, as such, our source can be stored on GitHub or any other source and not necessarily on CodeCommit.
- We can compile, test, and package our code in the way we choose by the use of a `buildspec.yml` file.
- We pay only for what we use as the service is pay-as-you-go.
- We can build multiple builds concurrently.


# How does AWS CodeBuild compare to other build tools?
There are several continuous integration tools we could use to build our application, such as Jenkins and Artifactory Jfrog. To understand how CodeBuild compares to other build tools, we will be looking at a close comparison with Jenkins, a trendy build tool.
