What you'll learn

The problem of deploying non-compliant infrastructure changes due to missing upstream security checks is a primary concern for many development teams.

In this course, Implement Governance Patterns in an AWS CI/CD Pipeline, you’ll gain the ability to construct and validate an automated governance stage that blocks unsafe deployments in AWS CodePipeline.

First, you’ll explore how a dedicated governance stage invokes a CodeBuild project responsible for running validation checks.

Next, you’ll discover how to add controls like cfn-lint and IAM Access Analyzer to the CodeBuild validation flow.

Finally, you’ll learn how to interpret governance failures in build logs and frame them as successful safeguards.

When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of embedding automated controls into AWS pipelines needed to confidently prevent risky configuration changes from reaching production.
