AWS DevOps Professional Journey - Day 4

Another study day in the books.

I don’t know if this is good habit, but I start by comparing industry salaries for the job I have with the one I inspire towards before studying.

Motivating? I don’t know.

TIL

Continuing with the Udemy Course:

• AWS just recently introduced masks for secure strings in the CodeBuild log
• Indentation in the buildspec.yml is very important and actually broke one of my builds. In this case the artifacts is indented under phases.

WRONG INDENTATION:

version: 0.2

phases: 
    install:
        runtime-versions:
            nodejs: 10
        commands:
            - printenv
            - echo "installing something"
    pre_build:
        commands: 
            - echo "we are in the pre build phase"
    build:
        commands:
            - echo "we are in the build block"
            - echo "we will run some tests"
            - grep -Fq "Congratulations" index.html
    post_build:
        commands:
            - echo "we are in the post build phase"
            
    artifacts:
      files:
        - '**/*'
      name: my-webapp-artifacts

CORRECT INDENTATION:
