This lesson explores designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines for serverless applications on AWS, focusing on packaging Python applications and automating deployments with Jenkins.
In this lesson, we will explore how to design and implement CI/CD pipelines specifically for serverless applications on AWS. You will learn how to package a Python application as an AWS Lambda function and then leverage Jenkins to build an automated CI/CD pipeline that deploys the updated code to Lambda seamlessly.
We start by examining AWS Lambda, its core functionalities, and best practices for integrating serverless computing into your applications. You will also get an overview of the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM), a powerful CLI tool that streamlines the development, packaging, and deployment processes for serverless projects.
Understanding the Serverless Application Model is crucial as it simplifies many aspects of deploying Lambda functions by automating several manual steps.
Next, the lesson will guide you through the process of deploying applications to Lambda using SAM. Finally, you will configure a Jenkins-based CI/CD pipeline that automates the deployment of your serverless applications, ensuring that every code update is efficiently and reliably pushed to production.
By the end of this lesson, you will have a comprehensive understanding of:
