I have a github repo with static website contents (i.e I try not to use EC2, but the AWS static website service). Now I want to automatically deploy it on AWS anytime I change and push something to the master branch of my github repo.
Any experience or idea doing this?
I do this for many projects by using a Jenkins server - I happen to run it on another ec2 instance, but you could also run it on-premise if you prefer.
Github notifies Jenkins server that a checkin has occurred, and a Jenkins job deploys all the files to the proper places and also notifies me by SMS (or email), that a deployment has occurred.
(Jenkins is not the only tool that can do this there are others).

I have create a website using VS Code in NodeJS with typescript language.
Now I want to try to deploy it on AWS. I read so many things about EC2 , Cloud9 , Elastic Beanstalk, etc...
So I'm totally lost about what to use to deploy my website.
Honestly I'm a programmer, not a site manager or sysops.
Right Now I create an EC2 instances. One with a Key name and One with no key Name.
In the Elastic Beanstalk, I have a button Upload and Deploy.
Can someone send me the way to create my project as a valid package to upload and deploy it ?
I never deploy a website. (Normally it was the sysops at the job). So I don't know what to do to have a correct distributing package.
Does I need to create both EC2 and Beanstalk ?
Thanks
If you go with ElasticBeanstalk, it will take care of creating the EC2 instances for your.
It actually takes care of creating EC2 instance, DB, loadbalancers, CloudWatch trails and many more. This is pretty much what it does, bundles multiple AWS services and offers on panel of administration.
To get started with EB you should install the eb cli.
Then you should:
go to your directory and run eb init application-name. You'll start a wizard from eb cli asking you in which region you want to deploy, what kind of db and so on
after that your need to run eb create envname to create a new env for your newly create application.
at this point you should head to the EB aws panel and configure the start command for your app, it usually is something like this npm run prod
because you're using TS there are a few steps you need to do before being able to deploy. You should run npm run build, or whatever command you have for transpiling from TS to JS. You'll be deploying compiled scripts and not your source code.
now you are ready to deploy, you can run eb deploy, as this is your only env it should work, when you have multiple envs you can do eb deploy envname. For getting a list of all envs you can run eb list
There are quite a few steps to take care before deploying and any of them can cause multiple issues.
If your website contains only static pages you can use Amazon S3 to deploy your website.
You can put your build files in S3 bucket directly and enable static web hosting.
This will allow anyone to access your website from a url globally, for this you have to make your bucket public also.
Instead you can also use cloudfront here to keep your bucket private but allowing access to bucket through cloudfront url.
You can refer to below links for hosting website through s3.

Right now I am manually deploying WAR files onto wildfly server(which is hosted on an ec2 instance) but I want to automate this and get rid of the manual deployments.
I build the application using jenkins (from another EC2 instance) and after that i want to deploy to the wildfly server and since i am also planning to user codepipeline, can anyone please tell me how to deploy an applcation on wildfly server using AWS CodeDeploy?
I am new to codedeploy so not that familiar with its usage.
Thank you,
Ajit
Hi #Ajith Code Deploy is the perfect tool for deploying applications in AWS. But it has some limitations, for example to give a source repository for the Code Build/ Code Deploy you can only choose these 3 as the code repository.
AWS Code Commit
AWS S3 Bucket

You cant provide your own custom repository or Bitbucket. Please go through the below Examples for deploying applications using Code Deploy. I can't explain all the steps because it have a lot of steps. here they are explaining app deployment using tomcat, replace this with your wildfly scripts.
Deploy Applications From S3 using Code Deploy.
I have created a laravel application and now i have push my code to a staging server.
In my amazon AWS account I have created an EC2 server, simple way to do this, and find it confusing.
I want to run this project on server.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
You can use startup script on your EC2.
Your startup script should do the following steps:
1-Install requirement software or services in the new machine.
2-Download or clone latest your app code from git and build it if necessary.
3-Download other assets or software or data from the S3 bucket.(Java, Tomcat, or WARs)
4-Start and configure services.
You should strongly consider using the AWS CodeDeploy service to manage the deployment of code on your instance.
It is easy to setup, and the service itself is free; you pay for instance usage only.
I have searched high and low for an answer to this question but have been unable to find one.
I am building an Angular 2 app that I would like hosted on an S3 bucket. There will be an EC2 (possibly) backend but that's another story. Ideally, I would like to be able to check my code into Bitbucket, and by some magic that alludes me I would like S3, or EC2, or whatever to notice via a hook, for instance, that the source has changed. Of course the source would have to be built using webpack and the distributables deployed correctly.
Now this seems like a pretty straightforward request but I can find no solution exception something pertaining to WebDeploy which I shall investigate right now.
Any ideas anyone?
Good news, AWS Lambda created for you.
You need to create following scenario and code to achieve your requirement.
1-Create Lambda function, this function should do the following steps:
1-1- Clone your latest code from GitHub or Bitbucket.
1-2- install grunt or another builder for your angular app.
1-3- install node modules.
1-4- build your angular app.
1-5- copy new build to your S3 bucket.
1-6- Finish.
2-Create AWS API gateway with one resource and one method point to your Lambda function.
3-Goto your GitHub or Bitbucket settings and add webhook with your API gateway.
4-Enjoy life with AWS.
;)
Benefits:
1-You only charge when you have the new build.
2-Not need any machine or server (EC2).
3-You only maintain one function on Lambda.

S3 isn't going to listen for Git hooks and fetch, build and deploy your code. BitBucket isn't going to build and deploy your code to S3. What you need is a service that sits in-between BitBucket and S3 that is triggered by a Git hook, fetches from Git, builds, and then deploys your code to S3. You need to search for Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment services which are designed to do this sort of thing.
AWS has CodePipeline. You could setup your own Jenkins or TeamCity server. Or you could look into a service like CodeShip. Those are just a few of the many services out there that could accomplish this task. I think any of these services will require a bit of scripting on your part in order to get them to perform the actual webpack and copy to S3.
Does anybody know how can I sync the plugins of a Wordpress deployed to AWS Elastic Beanstalk between all deployed instances?
I can easily deploy a Wordpress to EBeanstalk (even AWS give us a template for this) but if I install a plugin, it is installed in only one instance. There's no guarantee that any other user (or even myself) will access that instance again with the autoscaling happening. I already tested it and I could not access it in another instances.
I know the uploads folder will have the same problem, but there are already plugins to sync it with S3.
Thank you!
Research "stateless wordpress". I found a good starting point on Mike Otreva's site. In short, the solution involves building an example AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment and then using GIT to push your WP build. You'll need to set-up up a local Xamp environment in order to be able to GIT push your build. Once you do it this way, you'll never update plugins from the dashboard, instead you'll update your local build and then push the updates to your environment. You might even want to install a plugin that stops all automatic updates. I hope that helps some.
