85. AWS Proton

Overview

• AWS Proton is:
  • Automated infrastructure provisioning and deployment of serverless and container-based applications
    • The AWS Proton service is a two-pronged automation framework.
    • Administrators create versioned service templates that define standardized infrastructure and deployment tooling for serverless and container-based applications.
    • Then, you can select from the available service templates to automate your application or service deployments.
  • Standardized infrastructure
    • Platform teams can use AWS Proton and versioned infrastructure-as-code templates to define and manage standard application stacks that contain the architecture, infrastructure resources and the CI/CD software deployment pipeline.
  • Deployments integrated with CI/CD
    • AWS Proton automatically provisions the resources, configures the CI/CD pipeline and deploys the code into the defined infrastructure.

AWS Proton concepts

• As an Administrator, you create and register an Environment Template with AWS Proton, which defines the shared resources.
• AWS Proton deploys one or more Environments, based on an Environment Template.
•  As an Administrator, you create and register a Service Template with AWS Proton, which defines the related infrastructure, monitoring and CI/CD resources along with compatible Environment Templates.
•  As a Developer, you select a registered Service Template and provide a link to your Source code repository.
•  AWS Proton deploys the Service with a CI/CD Pipeline for your Service instances.
•  AWS Proton deploys and manages the Service and the Service Instances that are running the Source code as was defined in the selected Service Template. A Service Instance is an instantiation of the selected Service Template in an Environment for a single stage of a Pipeline (for example Prod).
