The repo with the implementation is available at https://github.com/DanielKneipp/aws-self-infra-app
A linter for our AWSCloudformation stack called cfn-lint
pre-commit is a really good tool to avoid mistakes before committing (hence, the name). Locally the developer should run pre-commit install after cloning the repo and installing the pre-commit tool. After this, automatic checks will be execute right after running a git commit.
Security checks for the Cloudformation stack using cfn-nag
In order to achieve this, AWS credentials need to be properly configured. Here we use a handy Github action called configure-aws-credential, from AWS itself. You can also read more about the many methods of authentication available. This step requires the AWS_REGION and AWS_ROLE_ARN secrets to be properly configured in the repo, both of which that should be shared by the platform team.
With the authentication in order, it's time to trigger the Cloudformation creation/update. aws-cloudformation-github-deploy action is used for that. Although the action was archived, it stills works just fine, so I'll keep it for now. This action will deploy our aws/app-template.yaml stack, which has the configuration to build and run the service, as well as its resource usage.
