AWS Technical Essentials Practice

AWS CodePipeline is specifically designed for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD). It automates the build, test, and deployment phases of the development process, allowing developers to rapidly release new functionality. By integrating with other AWS services, CodePipeline provides a streamlined workflow that ensures code changes are automatically built, tested, and deployed to production environments. This ability to create a fully automated release process is essential for modern software development practices, where speed and efficiency are critical.

AWS CodeCommit, on the other hand, serves as a source control service that manages Git repositories, while AWS CodeBuild is focused on compiling source code, running tests, and producing software packages. AWS Lambda is a compute service used for running code without provisioning or managing servers, but it does not specifically address CI/CD processes. Each of these services plays a vital role in the overall software development lifecycle, but CodePipeline uniquely ties them together into a cohesive continuous integration and delivery solution.
