Event Overview

Full-day workshop covering DevOps culture, AWS CI/CD services, and Infrastructure as Code practices.

Key Topics

DevOps Mindset (8:30 – 9:00 AM)

  • DevOps culture and principles
  • DORA metrics: Deployment Frequency, Lead Time, MTTR, Change Failure Rate
  • Benefits: Faster delivery, lower failure rates, quicker recovery

AWS CI/CD Pipeline (9:00 – 10:30 AM)

  • CodeCommit: Git-based source control
  • CodeBuild: Automated build and test
  • CodeDeploy: Deployment strategies
    • Blue/Green: Zero downtime, instant rollback
    • Canary: Gradual rollout with monitoring
    • Rolling: Cost-effective batch updates
  • CodePipeline: End-to-end orchestration
  • Live demo: Complete CI/CD pipeline

Infrastructure as Code (10:45 AM – 12:00 PM)

  • CloudFormation: AWS-native IaC with templates
    • Declarative YAML/JSON
    • Stack management and drift detection
  • AWS CDK: Programming language approach
    • TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, Go
    • Higher-level constructs and reusable patterns
  • Live demo: Deploying with both tools

Key Takeaways

DevOps Culture:

  • Cultural transformation, not just tools
  • DORA metrics provide objective measurement
  • Elite performers deploy 208x more frequently

CI/CD Best Practices:

  • Automate source, build, test, deploy stages
  • Choose deployment strategy based on use case
  • Implement proper testing at each stage
  • Use manual approvals for production

IaC Implementation:

  • CloudFormation for AWS-native declarative IaC
  • CDK for programming language approach with type safety
  • Version control all infrastructure code
  • Implement drift detection

Next Steps:

  • Measure current DORA metrics
  • Implement CI/CD pipeline for key application
  • Convert infrastructure to IaC (CloudFormation or CDK)
  • Pursue AWS DevOps certification
