Empty repo to Java AWS Lambda

1. Create git repo on AWS CodeCommit
2. Add SSH key to AWS IAM user
3. Add policies to AWS IAM user:
   • IAMUserSSHKeys
   • IAMReadOnlyAccess
   • AWSCodeCommitFullAccess
4. git clone, open in IntelliJ
   • create readme.md ;)
   • create .gitignore
5. Setup Java project
   • get gradle wrapper
   • setup build.gradle
   • add java code
   • reopen into intellij to make gradle project
6. Setup AWS files that live in git
   • Create bucket in s3
   • Add CloudFormation input template
   • Add buildspec.yml
     • add aws cloudformation install command that produces output template
     • include output template in artifact
7. Create new role in AWS IAM
   • Role Type: AWS CloudFormation
   • Attach Policy: AWS Lambda Execute
   • Inline Custom Role Policy
     • copy from aws/cloudformation-role-policy.json
     • from http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/automating-deployment.html
     • replace account-id and region, from upper right in aws console header
     • account-id=061121813127
     • region=us-east-1
8. Create pipeline in AWS CodePipeline
   • Link to AWS CodeCommit repo
   • Create AWS CodeBuild project
     • Use AWS CodeBuild image: aws/codebuild/java:openjdk-8
   • Deployment provider AWS CloudFormation
     • Create or replace change set
     • template file = output template in #6
     • CAPABILITY_IAM
     • Use role in #7 for pipeline role
   • Create new IAM role for AWS Service Role
9. Pipeline will automatically run.
   • If it doesn't succeed (maybe some yml files not checked in) the pipeline won't be configured correctly (!)
10. Modify pipeline, modify Beta stage
    • Add action below
    • Deploy
    • Delpoyment provider: AWS CloudFormation
    • Action Mode: Execute a Change Set

Open questions

• aws cloudformation package command executed appears to upload to s3. how does this differ from files present in buildspec.yml?
