Part 3 of 5: AWS Code Commit: Software Developer #1

This post is part of a 5-post series on setting up version control in the cloud using AWS Code Commit (cloud repository), Git (version control) and AWS Cloud 9 (Cloud IDE).

Part 1 of 5: AWS Code Commit: Creating Git repositories

Part 2 of 5: AWS Code Commit: Infrastructure/Devops Engineer Setup

Part 3 of 5: AWS Code Commit: Software Developer #1

Part 4 of 5: AWS Code Commit: Software Developer #2

Part 5 of 5: AWS Code Commit: Cleanup, Evidence, Reference

The task for the development team is to get the index.html for HumanGov Proof-of-Concept up right away. The best developer on the team, Radia, is assigned the task, and she whips up the solution after just a few minutes and informs the team lead. Radia is so good that everyone just calls her developer #1. Radia is now packing her bags, as she is going to be a guest speaker at the Grace Hopper Conference.

Of course, the lead decided as Radia was about to shut down for the day that the header size that had been signed off on for the last three scrum meetings needed to be changed. Radia quickly made the modification, and everything looked just fine. At the moment that Radia was saving the changes, her cat Mr. Snuggles ran across her keyboard and introduced a couple extra characters. Radia glanced everything over, and it all looked good, not noticing how naughty Mr. Snuggles had been. Radia quickly did a commit and push. Radia sent a slack message to Mr. Pointy Hair to let him know that she had completed the task and was heading to the airport.

3.1: Create AWS Cloud9 Environment for Developer #1

(For steps to create your Cloud9 Environment, go here: https://medium.com/@lewislampkin/creating-an-integrated-developer-environment-ide-in-the-cloud-in-two-minutes-c96e33b2fa3e)

3.2: Connect to the AWS Cloud9 environment for developer1

3.3: Configure Git username and email

git config --global user.name "Software Developer 1" git config --global user.email dev1@humangov.com

3.4: Configure AWS CLI Credential Helper for Developer #1

git config --global credential.helper '!aws codecommit credential-helper $@' git config --global credential.UseHttpPath true

3.5: Clone the application repository

git clone https://git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/human-gov-application

3.6: Create an index.html in the application repository

```html My Website

Welcome to HumanGov!

This is a PoC for HumanGov Git Repository.

© My Website. All rights reserved.

```

3.7: Commit and push

git status git add index.html git status git commit -m "Dev1 created index.html for HumanGov PoC" git log git push -u origin master

3.8: Create a typo in the header of index.html

The developer intended to update the header from H1 to H2, but Mr. Snuggles introduced a typo, by including extra characters (leading W and trailing !)

3.9: Commit and push

The developer then commits and pushes this change to production.

git status git add index.html git commit -m "Dev1 updated index.html header size from H1 to H2 for HumanGov PoC" git status git log git push -u origin master

3.10: AWSCodeCommit: See the index.html @CodeCommit > repositories > human-gov-application > Code

3.11: AWSCodeCommit: View the commits @ CodeCommit > Repositories > human-gov-application > Commits

Orphaned No More: Adopting AWS Lambda

Image
Background HumanGov is a Model Automated Multi-Tenant Architecture (MAMA) that is meant to be used by the 50 states for personnel tracking. Currently the architecture is fully automated on AWS. The architecture is not ready for go-live. All actions so far are for a proof-of-concept that is presented to the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) for review. During the weekly team meeting, Ko (User Experience Lead) reports that his team has performed thousands of tests against the infrastructure, with moves, adds, and changes, and is not finding any issues in the application user interface. Woo (Infrastructure Lead) reports that there are hundreds of 'orphaned' files in the S3 bucket. (These files are considered 'orphaned' because they do not have corresponding records in the DynamoDB table.) Kim (Tech Lead) reports that there is not a trigger to delete the file from the bucket when a user is deleted from the DynamoDB database. Brady (Lawyer) reports that not deleting t...

Containing the Chaos! | A Three-Part Series Demonstrating the Usefulness of Containerization to HumanGov

Background HumanGov is a Model Automated Multi-Tenant Architecture (MAMA) that is meant to be used by the 50 states for personnel tracking. Currently the architecture requires Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances that are maintained by the HumanGov systems administrators. The systems administrators handle all the patching, operations, etc. Due to states wanting their data separate from each other, each state gets a separate set of EC2 instances, which means that as the application scales from one state up to 50 states, the systems administrators will have to patch 50x as many EC2 instances. The system administrators report that they have begun to schedule more and more overtime to handle the maintenance windows for updating the EC2 instances. The lead developer remarked that it was taking longer and longer for new application deployments to get rolled out as the infrastructure grew and more states came on board. By the way, the development environment does not have standa...

Ansible is the Answer! | A Three-Part Series Demonstrating the Usefulness of Ansible to HumanGov

This is a three (3) part series that demonstrates how Ansible can be useful/leveraged for configuring your infrastructure. The background story here is that HumanGov is a multi-tenant cloud application that requires that each of the fifty (50) states has its own separate infrastructure. The HumanGov Infrastructure Engineers are trying to figure out how they can get it done, and they are considering using Ansible to help them deploy the application. Part 1 sets up the base infrastructure for the scenario. The HumanGov Infrastructure Engineers are accustomed to using Terraform to efficiently deploy infrastructure, but they are not very experienced with Ansible. Part 1 of 3: HumanGov: Ansible is the Answer! | Terraform | AWS Cloud9 | AWS IAM | AWS EC2 | AWS DynamoDB | AWS S3 Part 2 attempts to setup HumanGov via a MANUAL process. Part 2 goes through the steps to MANUALLY install Python, Nginx AND application files as well as MANUALLY configuring the firewall in Ubuntu. After g...
