2. About me • Cloud Architect - Serverless @ Mobil80 Solutions and Services Pvt Ltd • AWS Community Builder • Serverless advocate • Hobbyist photographer and baker
3. Agenda • Looking into Infrastructure as Code (IaC) • How IaC helps • IaC providers for Serverless • Understanding SAM CLI • Demo with SAM CLI
4. Looking into Infrastructure as Code (IaC) • Single source of truth. • Managing and provisioning resources on the cloud with code. • Easy to replicate to multiple instances. • Best known method for CI/CD pipelines.
5. How IaC helps • Faster deployments / re-deployments / rollbacks. • Elimination of manual infrastructure provisioning. • Test in multiple instances / environments. • Consistent configuration across environments. • Minimized human bound errors. • Improvised development practice.
6. IaC providers for Serverless • AWS CloudFormation • Serverless Application Model (SAM) CLI • AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) • AWS Amplify CLI • Serverless Framework • Terraform
7. Before IaC After IaC
8. Understanding SAM CLI • Serverless Application Model (SAM) CLI is an open source framework. • Uses YAML template for AWS resource provisions. • Powered by AWS CloudFormation. • CLI options for build - deploy to the cloud, sync infrastructure changes to cloud, building CI/CD pipelines.
