AWS CodePipeline provides a native AWS continuous deployment pipeline to manage web application deployments from the source code repository to the deployment of our web application. In this lab, we will walk through setting up AWS CodePipeline to continuously deploy our web application to S3. We will walk through the prerequisites to set up our pipeline by setting up our source code repository with AWS CodeCommit and creating an S3 bucket to host static web applications. Finally, we will set up our continuous code pipeline with AWS CodePipeline and deploy our web application to S3.
