Lab - AWS CodeBuild Hello World

In this lab, you immerse yourself in the AWS development cycle by using two of the AWS developer tools: AWS CodeCommit and AWS CodeBuild.

Objectives

   •   Use the AWS Cloud9 IDE to clone a CodeCommit repo and edit the Java code used in this lab.

   •   Understand the utility of CodeCommit, and then commit and push code changes to the CodeCommit repository.

   •   Recognize the integration between CodeCommit and CodeBuild, and observe the automatic build process in action.

   •   Retrieve a .jar file from an S3 bucket and run it in the AWS Cloud9 IDE.

Prerequisites

   •   Familiarity with the AWS Cloud9 interface is helpful because you open a file to view its contents and modify a command with the text editor.

   •   Experience with Git and basic Git commands.

   •   Experience with AWS CodeCommit is helpful, but not necessary, to complete this lab.
