Hello, welcome to the next part of the article about serverless pipelines which we implemented for one of our clients to automate configuration management of EC2 instances. In the first chapter we’ve quickly went through AWS native services, their specification and options that allow us to extend them. In the second one, called “Client requirements and how we overcame all challenges with CI/CD in AWS”, we would like to demonstrate a specific use case and talk more about client requirements, current situation and limitations. Here, we will go through every challenge, explain what solutions we used to resolve all problems and why we made such a choice.
