CloudFormation

Self Service DIY – Sometimes at a Cost

•  BYOS –  Flexibility - but sometimes at a time+complexity price

•  Dependency Hell –  Cross-functional – OSS + Commercial 3rd Party

•  Integration –  Problematic - multiple GUIs, services, etc. often NAS bound

•  Portable –  Most ‘compatible’ with lift and shift (in and out) – to a point

Infrastructure Services Overview & Application Areas

Elastic Beanstalk Quickly Deploy & Manage Applications

•  Fast and Simple –  Upload code and deploy in minutes, multi-version capable

•  Developer Productivity –  Focus on the code and not the infrastructure

•  Impossible to Outgrow –  Resilience & scalability are built in

•  Complete Resource Control –  Full control over deployed infrastructure

OpsWorks Model & Manage the Entire Stack

•  Supports any Application –  Any architecture via custom Chef recipes, bash scripts & configs

•  Configuration as Code –  Define and deploy from source repositories

•  Automation to run at Scale –  Dynamic configuration and orchestration

•  Resource Organization –  Logically organize and apply permissions to resources

Stack Integration

CloudFormation Infrastructure as Code

•  Easy to Use & Repeatable –  ‘Describe anything’ via simple JSON-based syntax

•  Full Control –  Open-ended template-based deployment, Callbacks, Triggers

•  Customized via Parameters –  Customize templates at run-time for specific use cases

•  Introspective Deployment –  Build by hand and abstract with CloudFormer

Create Skeleton

Service Catalog CloudFormation as a Product

•  Product Catalog –  Create custom catalogs containing products incorporating

standard CloudFormation architectures and configurations

•  Centralized Control –  Provides IT with central management over portfolio of services

that end users can browse and launch

•  Full Integration –  Integration with existing self service systems via rich APIs

Add Constraints

Code Services CodeCommit, CodePipeline, CodeDeploy

•  CodeCommit –  Fully managed source control service for hosting private Git

repositories

•  CodePipeline –  Standardizes and automates your software release process,

allowing you to rapidly release new features to users

•  CodeDeploy –  Deploys your released code to a "fleet" of EC2 instances

Code Commit

Summary Wrap Up & Some Things We Missed

•  AWS Lambda & Amazon S3 Events –  Use to plumb up a simple artifact-based CI/CD workflow –  Process all your ancillary data types – media, thumbs, etc.

•  AWS Config –  Continuously track configuration changes to your infrastructure –  Use for Audit, Discovery, Troubleshooting

•  Amazon EC2 Container Service –  Highly scalable, performant container management service –  Docker containers, custom scheduler
