AWS Code Commit
AWS Code Pipeline

AWS Code Build (Theory)
AWS Code Deploy
AWS Cloud Formation 

Project: Code Commit (github) + Code Deploy + Code Pipeline

-------------------------------
AWS Code Build
-------------------------------
=> As an alternative to AWS Code Build, we have Jenkins
=> Region specific
=> Managed by AWS 
=> Serverless
=> Billing gets generated based on time taken for the builds to happen
=> Scalable
=> We can do multiple builds at a time
=> "buildspec" file
=> Format: json (or) yaml or yml
=> Extension: buildspec.yml (or) buildspec.yaml (or) buildspec.json
=> It can also be defined during the project creation

---------------------------------------
AWS Code Deploy
---------------------------------------
=> Managed by AWS
=> It is used to automate the application deployment
=> Region specific service
=> Scalable
=> Billing
=> Serverless
=> Supports EC2, Lambda, ECS, On-premise deployments
=> We can integrate with Code Pipeline
=> "appspec" file
=> yml, yaml, json
=> JSON = JavaScript Object Notation
=> YAML = Yet Another Markup Language

Inendations are most important in yml format
Syntax is most important in json

----------------------------------------------
Cloud Formation
----------------------------------------------
=> Alternative to Terraform
=> Limited to AWS
=> Create the infratructure in the AWS Cloud
=> IaaC - Infrastructure as a Code
=> Cloud Formation Templates
=> Extension: yaml (yml)
