How to Build CI/CD Pipeline: GitHub to AWS

Image
 Creating a CI/CD pipeline to deploy a project from GitHub to AWS can be done using various AWS services like AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeBuild, and optionally AWS CodeDeploy or Amazon ECS for application deployment. Below is a high-level guide on how to set up a basic GitHub to AWS pipeline: Prerequisites AWS Account : Ensure access to the AWS account with the necessary permissions. GitHub Repository : Have your application code hosted on GitHub. IAM Roles : Create necessary IAM roles with permissions to interact with AWS services (e.g., CodePipeline, CodeBuild, S3, ECS, etc.). AWS CLI : Install and configure the AWS CLI for easier management of services. Step 1: Create an S3 Bucket for Artifacts AWS CodePipeline requires an S3 bucket to store artifacts (builds, deployments, etc.). Go to the S3 service in the AWS Management Console. Create a new bucket, ensuring it has a unique name. Note the bucket name for later use. Step 2: Set Up AWS CodeBuild CodeBuild will handle the build proces

How to Configure Firewall For an Application

A firewall is a set of rules. When a data packet moves into or out of protected network space, its contents (in particular, information about its origin, its target, and the protocol it plans to use) are tested against the firewall rules to see if it should be allowed through. How a Firewall concept works Let's say that the web server has to be open to incoming web traffic from anywhere on earth using either the insecure HTTP or secure HTTPS protocol. Because your developers and admins will need to get into the backend from time to time to do their work, you’ll also want to allow SSH traffic, but only for those people who’ll need it. Requests for any other services should be automatically refused. A Linux machine can be configured to apply firewall rules at the kernel level through a program called iptables. Creating table rules isn't all that difficult; the syntax can be learned without too much fuss. But, in the interest of simplifying your life, many Linux distributions ha
