What is
Continuous Delivery?
Continuous Integration (CI)
Deploying with Git
Continuous Delivery (CD)
Continuous Delivery
General Workflow
Continuous Delivery
Objectives
- Full automation from VCS push to deployment
- Full transparency of production infrastructure
- Use best-in-class tools:
- Git for version control
- Docker to package and run
- Docker orchestration to deploy
- AWS EC2 for IaaS
- Prefer avoiding vendor lock-in

Great! The end?
Not so fast
- EC2: Auto-scaling, but 'manual' deployment
- ECS: Automated deployment, but manual update/scale
- Elastic Beanstalk: Both, but black box:
Automatic Update & Scaling
With Elastic Beanstalk, you can quickly deploy and
manage applications in the AWS cloud without worrying about the infrastructure
But what if we are worried about the infrastructure?
logic to automate ECS update and scaling
to the rescue?
Atlassian
Auto-scaling
ECS
Auto-Update
- Get notified by completion of build
- Find task definitions using that image
- Create a new revision of the task definition using the new image tag
- Find services using the latest version of that task definition
- Update those services to the new revision
- Allow ECS to re-deploy tasks from new definition
(if no capacity, optionally terminate old tasks)
ECS
Summary
- Continuous Integration (CI) & Continuous Delivery (CD)
- Variety of interchangeable services
- Alternative configurations with different systems
- Custom automatic updating and scaling of ECS
I'm on the bench, ask me anything!
