AWS Real-Time Dev to Pre-Prod to Production Deployment

What You Will Build
Section titled “What You Will Build”Architecture Diagram
Section titled “Architecture Diagram”Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”- Install or review: HTML, Nginx, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, AWS, AWS CodePipeline.
- Use your own cloud account credentials and keep them out of commits.
- This project expects cloud resources, so verify budget alerts and cleanup first.
- Open the safety guide before running commands that create infrastructure.
Credentials And Cost Warning
Section titled “Credentials And Cost Warning”Cost risk is medium. Cloud target: AWS. Cloud credentials needed: Yes. Always use your own account, never commit secrets, and confirm cleanup before creating paid infrastructure.
Step-By-Step Lab
Section titled “Step-By-Step Lab”Use this flow before you run commands:
- Read the cost and credential warning above.
- Review the validation, troubleshooting, cleanup, and portfolio proof sections below.
- Follow the original project guide preserved near the bottom of this page.
- Return to the validation and cleanup checks before you capture portfolio evidence.
Validation Checks
Section titled “Validation Checks”Run the project validation command before and after meaningful changes:
test -f buildspec.yml -a -f appspec.ymlTroubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- Run
test -f buildspec.yml -a -f appspec.ymlfirst so local tooling issues are visible early. - If a command fails, check tool versions, working directory, and required environment variables.
- For cloud failures, confirm account identity, region, quotas, and least-privilege IAM.
- For pipeline failures, check repository secrets, runner permissions, and pinned action versions.
Cleanup
Section titled “Cleanup”No dedicated cleanup command was detected in the project README. Treat this as a warning: before provisioning anything, write down the exact delete, destroy, or rollback steps for your environment.
Portfolio Proof
Section titled “Portfolio Proof”- Validation command output:
test -f buildspec.yml -a -f appspec.yml - Screenshot or terminal proof: Passing pipeline run plus scan/deploy evidence
- Notes explaining what changed, what failed, and how you fixed it
- Cleanup evidence, especially for cloud or Kubernetes resources
Original Project Guide
Section titled “Original Project Guide”The original README content is preserved here for lab-specific commands and context. Headings are intentionally demoted so the page outline stays focused on the standard lab flow.
🛡️ 2026 DevSecOps Enhancements (What You Will Learn)
Section titled “🛡️ 2026 DevSecOps Enhancements (What You Will Learn)”This project enforces the DevSecOps principle of Environment Isolation. Rather than deploying all stages (Dev, Pre-Prod, Prod) into a single VPC, modern 2026 architectures mandate strict separation using separate VPCs or, ideally, entirely separate AWS Accounts governed by AWS Organizations. This guarantees that a breach in the Dev environment cannot pivot laterally into Production.
