Summary

In this chapter, we delved into the integration of security within CI/CD pipelines, a concept central to modern DevSecOps practices. We began by exploring the evolution from traditional to agile methodologies, highlighting the importance of embedding security at every stage of the SDLC. Our focus then shifted to the pivotal role of AWS services in constructing secure CI/CD pipelines, examining key services such as CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline, and their roles in enhancing security.

We addressed the challenges of implementing DevSecOps, including cultural resistance, tooling integration, skills gaps, and the need for continuous monitoring and adaptation. Practical solutions and strategies were provided to overcome these hurdles, emphasizing the significance of automated tools for security scanning and the shift-left approach to security. The chapter highlighted the integration of AWS native and third-party security tools, such as CodeGuru, SonarQube...
