Exam AWS Certified Developer Associate topic 1 question 377 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Developer Associate
Question #: 377
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Developer Associate Questions]

A company is creating a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) process by using AWS CodePipeline for its application on AWS. The CI/CD process will pull code from an AWS CodeCommit repository, create the application infrastructure by using AWS CloudFormation, deploy the frontend code to an Amazon S3 bucket that is configured for static website hosting, and deploy the application backend on an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) cluster.

A developer needs to create a new CodePipeline stage that creates the application infrastructure.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

  • A. Create a new action with AWS Lambda as the action provider. Create a Lambda function that makes an AWS SDK API call to create the CloudFormation stack.
  • B. Create a new action with CloudFormation as the action provider. Set the action mode to CREATE_UPDATE. Target the CloudFormation stack to be launched.
  • C. Create a new action with Jenkins as the action provider. Create and configure a Jenkins job to make an API call by using the AWS CLI to create the CloudFormation sack.
  • D. Create a new action with AWS CodeBuild as the action provider. Configure the buildspec to make an API call by using the AWS CLI to create the CloudFormation stack.

Selected Answer: B
You can add an action to a pipeline that uses AWS CloudFormation as a deployment provider. When you use AWS CloudFormation as a deployment provider, you can take action on AWS CloudFormation stacks and change sets as part of a pipeline execution. AWS CloudFormation can create, update, replace, and delete stacks and change sets when a pipeline runs. As a result, AWS and custom resources can be created, provisioned, updated, or terminated during a pipeline execution according to the specifications you provide in AWS CloudFormation templates and parameter definitions. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/integrations-action-type.html

When you build a CodePipeline pipeline, you add a Deploy action to the pipeline with AWS CloudFormation as a provider. You then must specify which AWS CloudFormation action the pipeline invokes and the action's settings. CREATE_UPDATE creates the stack if the specified stack doesn't exist. If the stack exists, AWS CloudFormation updates the stack. Use this action to update existing stacks. CodePipeline won't replace the stack. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/continuous-delivery-codepipeline-action-reference.html

B is the answer. The developer needs to create a new CodePipeline stage that creates the application infrastructure. He needs to use CloudFormation here to create the infrastructure because CloudFormation is an Infrastructure-as-Code service.

Create a new action with AWS CodeBuild as the action provider. Configure the buildspec to make an API call by using the AWS CLI to create the CloudFormation stack. AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed build service that can be integrated with AWS CodePipeline, which makes it a good choice for creating a new stage in the CI/CD process that creates the application infrastructure. The developer can configure the buildspec to make an API call by using the AWS CLI to create the CloudFormation stack. This solution is easy to set up, maintain, and integrate with the existing CodePipeline process, and it has low operational overhead.
