Amazon CI/CD Pipeline

Directions on how to launch this sample app on Amazon ECS can be found in the documentation: Docker basics.

Introduction

Fork from https://github.com/awslabs/ecs-refarch-continuous-deployment that adds new components such as GhostInspector used for Automated UI testing, a Lex chatbot integrated with a slack channel that manages and trigger deployments.

Create an automated CI/CD Pipeline where every commit will trigger a set of actions that builds a container image, test, validate and promote the build image to different stages
Use rolling updates mechanisms and blue/green deployments to enable application updates with zero downtime
Demonstrate how DevOps can be achieved within AWS and how serverless can be used to automate the deployment and self heal the application in case of a non standard change
Integrate a Chatbot on Slack as an orchestrator that can trigger deployments and gather the status of the pipeline
Have all the services and artifacts as code via CloudFormation enabling the whole infrastructure to be recreated in a matter of minutes
