Hey, my Self Santhosh Nimmala, I am Working with Luxoft as a Principal consultant (leading Cloud and DevOps in TRM space), in coming Articles I will be explaining about DevOps and DevTools with respective to AWS it will also have real world DevOps projects with Code and common DevOps Patterns   

## AWS DevOps: Leveraging the Power of the Cloud

DevOps is a software development methodology that focuses on collaboration between development and operations teams. The goal of DevOps is to streamline the software development process, allowing teams to quickly and efficiently deliver high-quality software to customers. One of the key components of DevOps is the use of cloud technology. AWS, or Amazon Web Services, is one of the leading cloud providers, and it offers a wide range of tools and services that can be used to implement DevOps practices.

AWS provides a number of services that can be used to automate various aspects of the software development process. One of the most popular services is AWS CodeCommit, a fully-managed source control service that makes it easy for teams to store, manage, and share code. CodeCommit can be integrated with other AWS services, such as AWS CodeBuild and AWS CodeDeploy, to automate the build and deployment process and CodePipeline which will  helps you automate your release pipelines for fast and reliable application and infrastructure updates.


AWS also provides services for monitoring and logging, such as AWS CloudWatch and AWS CloudTrail. These services can be used to track and analyze performance metrics, as well as to monitor and troubleshoot issues with the application deployment .


AWS also provides a number of additional services that can be used to implement DevOps practices, such as AWS Lambda, AWS SNS, and AWS SQS, which can be used to build serverless applications, and AWS Config, which can be used to track changes to your AWS resources.

in the following article's we will cover AWS DevOps from Scratch before going to AWS DevOps lets see some concepts revolves around DevOps.

## 1.What is DevOps ?
_

DevOps is a software development methodology that emphasizes collaboration between development and operations teams to improve the speed and quality of software delivery. It aims to integrate and automate the entire software delivery process, from development and testing to deployment and maintenance. The goal of DevOps is to improve the efficiency and agility of an organization's software development process, enabling faster and more frequent releases of new features and bug fixes.

## 2. What is CI/CD ?
_
CI/CD stands for "Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment." It is a set of practices and tools that enable development teams to build, test, and deploy software quickly and frequently.

Continuous Integration (CI) is the practice of regularly integrating code changes into a shared codebase, usually multiple times a day. This helps to detect and fix conflicts and errors early in the development process.

Continuous Deployment (CD) is the practice of automatically deploying code changes to a production environment once they have passed through a series of tests and quality checks. This allows for fast and efficient delivery of new features and bug fixes to users.

CI/CD pipelines are usually automated and triggered by code changes, enabling developers to make and deploy code changes quickly and with confidence, the pipeline will take care of testing, building and deploying the code in different environment.

## 3.what are the skills i need to know to work with AWS DevOps ?
_
To work with AWS DevOps, you will need to have a good understanding of AWS services and be proficient in using them to build and deploy applications. Some specific skills you may need include:

AWS CloudFormation and/or Terraform for infrastructure as code.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk, AWS Lambda, and/or AWS EC2 for serverless and containerized deployments.

AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodeDeploy and/or AWS CodePipeline for continuous integration and continuous deployment.

AWS S3, AWS CloudFront and/or AWS Elastic Block Store for storage and content delivery.

AWS CloudWatch and/or AWS CloudTrail for monitoring and logging.

AWS Elastic Load Balancing and/or AWS Auto Scaling for scaling and high availability.

Familiarity with version control systems like Git.

Familiarity with scripting and automation tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef.

Familiarity with containers and container orchestration, such as Docker and Kubernetes.

Familiarity with Agile methodologies and practices like Scrum and Kanban.

Understanding of security principles, protocols, and technologies and how to apply them in AWS environments.

Familiarity with testing and test-driven development.

These are not all the skills you need to work with AWS DevOps but they are the most common. Some specific skills might be required based on the company,
