The resources in this repository will help you setup required AWS resources for blocking prod deployments until the canary deployment validation succeeds.
aws-codepipeline-block-production
.Run following steps in the local workspace where GitHub repository was cloned:
If you chose a different AWS CodeCommit repository name, replace ParameterValue
in setup-block-production-resources-stack-parameters.json
file with the name you chose.
Update block-production-demo-resources-parameters.json
file to replace parameter values:
DemoResourcesCodeCommitRepo
: Update if you chose a different repository name in the step 1 in Prerequisites section.DemoResourcesCodeCommitRepoBranch
: Default branch is master
. Update if the branch name is different.CanaryApprovalConfiguration
: Canary approval configuration in JSON format which specifies timeout in minutes and number of metrics required before deployment is considered successful.timeoutMinutes
: The time in minutes to wait before considering Approval to be timed out.metricsRequired
: Minimum number of metrics required from canary deploy action before the canary approval is successfully completed.KeyName
: Amazon EC2 key pair name.AppName
: Default is BlockProduction
. Some of the AWS resources will be prefixed with this name.YourIP
: IP address to connect to SSH from. Check http://checkip.amazonaws.com/ to find yours.Create a new CloudFormation stack using AWS CloudFormation template setup-block-production-resources-stack.yml
and parameter file setup-block-production-resources-stack-parameters.json
. See this article for the details on how to pass parameters file using CLI.
cloudformation create-stack --stack-name SetupBlockProductionDemoResourcesStack --template-body file://<The path to local workspace>/aws-codepipeline-block-production/setup-block-production-resources-stack.yml --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM --parameters file://<The path to local workspace>/aws-codepipeline-block-production/setup-block-production-resources-stack-parameters.json
Step 3 will create an AWS CodePipeline named SetupBlockProductionDemoResources-Pipeline
. This pipeline will use AWS CloudFormation integration with AWS CodePipeline to publish AWS Lambda functions to Amazon S3 and create a new stack using template block-production-demo-resources.yml
that contains actual AWS resources used in demo including a new AWS CodePipeline with the name prefixed by AppName
specified above.
Above step will set up following things:
BlockProduction-Pipeline
with a stage that contains canary deploy, canary approval and prod deploy actions. Once canary deployment succeeds, canary approval action runs and sends a notification to Amazon SNS topic configured in Approval action.register-canary-approval.js
) is subscribed to this topic which registers this request in an Amazon DynamoDB table.process-canary-approval.js
) that runs periodically and scans the table for open approval requests. If there are required number of metrics available and the synthetic tests alarm is OK then it approves the request using AWS CodePipeline API PutApprovalResult
which allows the pipeline run to proceed to the next prod deploy action.When no longer required, please remember to delete the stacks using AWS CloudFormation console or CLI to avoid getting charged.
