Question

Your development team use .Net for their web application.

The application code is hosted in a Git repository.

They want to set up continuous integration and deployment pipelines and deploy it to AWS.

Which of the following methods can be used to fulfil this requirement?

A. B. C. D.

Answer - B.

Option A is incorrect because Elastic Beanstalk does not configure the pipelines in AWS.

Option B is CORRECT because Code Pipeline is a service to define each stage of the CI/CD pipelines.

This service can help to achieve the requirements.

Option C is incorrect because it only defines how to configure the source code but does not mention how to set up the pipelines.

Option D is incorrect because this option does not explain how to configure the pipelines.

To set up continuous integration and deployment pipelines for a .Net web application hosted in a Git repository and deploy it to AWS, the best option is to use the Code Pipeline service (Option B).

Option A is incorrect because Elastic Beanstalk is a managed service that simplifies the deployment of web applications, but it does not offer the ability to set up CI/CD pipelines.

Option C is incorrect because creating a source bundle and uploading it as an application revision would require manual steps and would not be an automated CI/CD process.

Option D is incorrect because using a chef recipe to deploy the code is not the best approach for a .Net application. Chef is a configuration management tool, and while it could be used to deploy an application, it would require more effort than using a dedicated CI/CD tool.

Therefore, using the Code Pipeline service is the best option for setting up CI/CD pipelines for a .Net web application hosted in a Git repository and deploying it to AWS. Code Pipeline is a fully managed service that automates the building, testing, and deployment of applications. It integrates with a variety of other AWS services, including CodeBuild and CodeDeploy, to provide a seamless CI/CD experience.

To set up a CI/CD pipeline with Code Pipeline, the following steps need to be followed:

  1. Create a new pipeline in the Code Pipeline console.
  2. Connect the pipeline to the Git repository where the application code is hosted.
  3. Configure the pipeline to trigger a build whenever changes are pushed to the repository.
  4. Set up the build stage using CodeBuild to compile and package the .Net code.
  5. Set up the test stage to run automated tests on the application.
  6. Set up the deployment stage using CodeDeploy to deploy the application to the desired AWS environment.

Once the pipeline is set up, changes to the application code will automatically trigger the pipeline, and the new version of the application will be deployed to AWS.
