Continued securing AMI pipelines in CI/CD
In our last blog we discussed the AMI and their security and in this blog we will discuss pipelines of AMIs. We can do each task with AMI without their pipeline but pipelines make them more efficient, error-probne, automated, consistent and many more. Pipeline is the way by which software development and deployment, automated with a set of steps where code goes through from development to the production. Pipeline ensures whenever new instances are configured they are configured with consistency and deployed with latest updates so it will be helpful in reducing the error and enhancing the security. Let us discuss different stages in depth.
Build a secure AMI pipeline
Design the pipeline
To build a secure AMI pipeline, first organizations need to think which CI/CD tool they want to integrate such as in AWS we AWS CodePipeline, this is an native to AWS and seamlessly integrates AWS service orchestration. Another is Jenkins which is highly customizable and widely used. We have more in the market; it depends on needs.
Once we have decided that we need to define clear stages of the pipeline. “Source”…
