Video Description

Learn how to automate your code deployments with GitHub actions. In this project, I'll show you how to use GitHub actions to automate the deployment (CI/CD) of an AWS project. The project is a simple Python API hosted on AWS Lambda (managed with AWS CDK). We'll learn how to set up a simple GitHub action workflow to deploy the project to our AWS account on each commit. We'll also look at how to add a version number that increments automatically with each commit, and how to cache workflow steps (so we don't have to do the same things over and over again). 🔗 Links Project Code: https://github.com/pixegami/aws-cicd-tutorial GitHub Actions: https://github.com/features/actions AWS CLI: https://aws.amazon.com/cli/ AWS CDK: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/home.html 📚 Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:38 What is CICD? 01:51 Create an AWS CDK Project 05:46 Create GitHub Actions Workflow for CDK Deploy 10:18 Automate Version Bump with Git Hooks 12:42 Caching Workflow Steps 14:35 Deploy a Major Infrastructure Update
