Build a Serverless Web Service With AWS CodeStar&EC2 Instance

By Intuitive / Jan 10,2019

AWS CodeStar is a cloud-based service for creating, managing, and working with software development projects on AWS. You can quickly develop, build, and deploy applications on AWS with an AWS CodeStar project. An AWS CodeStar project creates and integrates AWS services for your project development toolchain. Depending on your choice of AWS CodeStar project template, that toolchain might include source control, build, deployment, virtual servers or serverless resources, and more. AWS CodeStar also manages the permissions required for project users (called team members). By adding users as team members to an AWS CodeStar project, project owners can quickly and simply grant each team member role-appropriate access to a project and its resources

What Can I Do with AWS CodeStar?

How Do I Get Started with AWS CodeStar?

Step 1: Create an AWS Account
Create an AWS account by going to https://aws.amazon.com/ and choosing Sign Up.
Step 2: Create the AWS CodeStar Service Role
AWS CodeStar requires the creation of a service role in order to create and manage AWS resources and IAM permissions. You only need to create the service role once.
1. Open the AWS CodeStar console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/codestar/.
2. Choose Start project. (If you do not see Start project but instead are directed to the projects list page, the service role has been created. You can jump ahead to Configure Permissions for IAM Users.)
3. In create service role, choose Yes, create role.
4. Exit the wizard. You’ll come back to this later.
5. Lunch an ec2 linux instance
