.NET Series-1: Creating CI/CD Pipeline For a .NET Application By Using AWS Developer Tools
First, we will install the dependencies necessary for our .NET 8.0 project to run on the Windows OS. Then, we will create the ASP.NET Core project with the ASP.NET web API template. Then we’ll build and run the project in the local environment and check it on the web browser. Then we’ll create a CI/CD pipeline to run the .NET application in a Linux EC2 instance. To do this, firstly, we’ll create and configure a “buildspec.yml” file for the AWS CodeBuild (Later, we’ll use it in the AWS CodePipeline). Then, we’ll push the “buildspec.yml” file to the remote repository, and create an “Amazon S3 Bucket” to store the artifacts. We’ll configure a “build project” on AWS CodeBuild, and then, run it to build the .NET application. In the next step, we’ll create an AWS CodePipeline to trigger our build each time you push a change to our Git repository. We’ll add a “build stage” to AWS CodePipeline by selecting AWS CodeBuild, then run it in order to check result of pipeline. We’ll check the artifact files that were uploaded to S3 Bucket. Then, we’ll add a “deploy stage” by selecting AWS CodeDeploy. To run AWS CodeDeploy, we will do the following: We’ll create an “application” and a “deployment group” in the AWS CodeDeploy, create a service role for the AWS CodeDeploy, create an EC2 instance for .NET application deployment, create a role for EC2 instance, and install the “CodeDeploy Agent” on the EC2 Instance. In later articles of this series, we will add “Unit Tests” to our build, and run unit tests…
