 # Day 49: AWS Cloud Overview
 
+Welcome to the AWS section of the 90 Days of DevOps! Picking 7 items to learn about is difficult for several reasons:
+1. At last count, there were 250+ AWS services
+2. Each service could get it's own multi-day deep dive 😅
+
+Because of that, we're going to do a gentle intro that starts off easy, goes into some very DevOps-salient services, then ends with a section-capstone project that will give you a lot of exposure to AWS DevOps services.
+
+I hope you enjoy the next 7 days as much as I did creating them. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

 AWS Cloud is a cloud computing platform provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It offers a wide range of services, including computing, storage, networking, database, analytics, machine learning, security, and more. AWS Cloud allows businesses and organizations to access these services on a pay-as-you-go basis, which means they only pay for what they use and can scale their resources up or down as needed.

 - Highly scalable and available, with automatic backups and failover capabilities
 - Integration with other AWS developer tools like AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild
 
+In order to effectively leverage CodeCommit, you of course need to know how to use Git. There are [many](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2rC-8e38bUXloBOYChAl0EcbbuVjbE3t) [excellent](https://youtu.be/tRZGeaHPoaw) [Git](https://youtu.be/USjZcfj8yxE) [tutorials](https://youtu.be/RGOj5yH7evk) out there, (and that's not my section anyway 😉) so I won't go into that myself.

 Overall, AWS CodeCommit is a powerful tool for teams that need to collaborate on code, manage their repositories securely, and streamline their development workflows.

 # Day 55: AWS CodePipeline
 
+<i>On this last day of AWS services we are going to talk about a big one that has a lot of moving parts and integrations. There are a few free resources out there that will help in your learning/understanding of this... but honestly some of the best ones will cost you some money. I will list them out seperately in the resources section and call them out, but I would be remiss in NOT mentioning them as they are fantastic for learning this complex service</i>

+<b>CodePipeline</b> is a fully managed continuous delivery service that allows you to automate your IaC or software release processes. It enables you to create pipelines that build, test, and deploy your code changes continuously and (with proper testing in place) reliably:

+
+With CodePipeline, you can create pipelines that automate your build, test, and deployment workflows, ensuring that your code changes are reliably deployed to your target environments. It enables you to achieve faster release cycles, improve collaboration among development and operations teams, and improve the overall quality and reliability of your software releases.
+
+AWS CodePipeline integrates with other AWS services: 
+- [Source Action Integrations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/integrations-action-type.html#integrations-source)
+- [Build Action Integrations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/integrations-action-type.html#integrations-build)
+- [Test Action Integrations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/integrations-action-type.html#integrations-test)
+- [Deploy Action Integrations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/integrations-action-type.html#integrations-deploy)
+- [Approval Action Integrations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/integrations-action-type.html#integrations-approval)
+- [Invoke Action Integrations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/integrations-action-type.html#integrations-invoke)
+
+
+ It also integrates with third-party tools such as GitHub, Jenkins, and Bitbucket. You can use AWS CodePipeline to manage your application updates across multiple AWS accounts and regions.
+
+## Getting started with AWS CodePipeline
+
+To get started with AWS CodePipeline, there are several excellent [tutorials](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/tutorials.html) in the [AWS User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/welcome.html). They all basically break down into the following 3 steps: 
+
+### Step 1: Create an IAM role
+
+You need to create an IAM role that allows AWS CodePipeline to access the AWS resources required to run your pipelines. To create an IAM role, review the steps from [Day 52](day52.md)
+
+### Step 2: Create a CodePipeline pipeline
+
+To create a CodePipeline pipeline, go to the AWS CodePipeline console, click on the "Create pipeline" button, and then follow the instructions to create your pipeline. You will need to specify the source location for your code, the build provider you want to use, the deployment provider you want to use, and the IAM role you created in step 2.
+
+### Step 3: Test and deploy your code changes
+
+Once you have created your CodePipeline pipeline, you can test and deploy your code changes. AWS CodePipeline will automatically build, test, and deploy your code changes to your target environments. You can monitor the progress of your pipeline in the AWS CodePipeline console.
+
+## Capstone Project
+To tie up this AWS section of the 90 Days of DevOps, I recommend that you go through Adrian Cantrill's excellent mini-project, the [CatPipeline](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTk5ZYSbd9MgARTJHbAaRcGSn7EMfxRHm). In it you will be exposed to CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline in a fun little project that will give you a taste of a day in the life of a DevOps engineer.
