Everything you need to know about AWS DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, containers, Infrastructure as Code, and how PrecisionTech manages DevOps for businesses in India.
1
What is AWS CodePipeline and how does it work?
AWS CodePipeline is a fully managed continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) service that automates the build, test, and deploy phases of your release process. You define a pipeline as a series of stages — Source (CodeCommit, GitHub, S3, Bitbucket), Build (CodeBuild), Test (CodeBuild, third-party tools), and Deploy (CodeDeploy, ECS, EKS, CloudFormation, S3, Lambda). Each stage contains one or more actions that run in sequence or parallel. CodePipeline triggers automatically on every code commit, executing your full release workflow in minutes rather than hours. It integrates natively with IAM for fine-grained access control, CloudWatch for pipeline monitoring, and SNS for notifications. PrecisionTech designs multi-stage CodePipeline architectures with approval gates, cross-account deployments, and parallel testing stages for Indian enterprises.
2
What is AWS CodeBuild and how does it compare to Jenkins?
AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed build service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces deployable artifacts — without you provisioning or managing build servers. CodeBuild scales automatically, processes multiple builds concurrently, and charges only for the compute time consumed. It supports custom build environments via Docker images — you can build Java (Maven/Gradle), .NET, Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, and any language with a Docker container. Compared to Jenkins: CodeBuild requires zero server management (no patching, no scaling configuration, no plugin maintenance), auto-scales to hundreds of concurrent builds, and integrates natively with CodePipeline, IAM, VPC, and CloudWatch. Jenkins offers more plugin ecosystem breadth and full pipeline-as-code flexibility with Jenkinsfile, but demands dedicated EC2 instances, regular maintenance, and manual scaling. PrecisionTech migrates Jenkins pipelines to CodeBuild+CodePipeline for teams that want to eliminate build infrastructure overhead.
3
What is AWS CodeDeploy and what deployment strategies does it support?
AWS CodeDeploy automates code deployments to EC2 instances, on-premises servers, ECS services, and Lambda functions. It supports three deployment strategies: In-Place (Rolling) — stops the application on each instance, deploys the new version, and restarts. Best for EC2 and on-premises when brief downtime per instance is acceptable. Blue/Green — provisions a parallel set of instances (green), deploys the new version, verifies health, then shifts traffic from old (blue) to new (green) via load balancer. Zero-downtime deployment with instant rollback capability. Works with EC2/Auto Scaling, ECS, and Lambda. Canary / Linear (Lambda & ECS) — shifts traffic incrementally: Canary shifts 10% first, waits, then shifts 90%; Linear shifts traffic in equal increments over time. Ideal for risk-averse production releases. CodeDeploy uses an AppSpec file (YAML/JSON) to define lifecycle hooks — BeforeInstall, AfterInstall, ApplicationStart, ValidateService — for custom deployment logic. PrecisionTech configures CodeDeploy with automated rollback on CloudWatch alarm triggers.
4
What is Amazon ECS and when should I use it vs EKS?
Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service) is AWS's native container orchestration service for running Docker containers at scale. ECS manages container scheduling, placement, and scaling across a cluster of EC2 instances or AWS Fargate (serverless). Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) is the managed Kubernetes service — running upstream Kubernetes with automated control plane management. When to use ECS: You want the simplest path to running containers on AWS, your team doesn't have Kubernetes expertise, you want deep native integration with ALB, CloudWatch, IAM, and other AWS services, and you prefer AWS-native tooling (Copilot CLI, App Runner). When to use EKS: You need Kubernetes portability across clouds or on-premises, your team already has Kubernetes expertise, you need the Kubernetes ecosystem (Helm charts, Operators, service mesh, custom controllers), or you require fine-grained pod-level networking with CNI plugins. PrecisionTech recommends ECS for most Indian teams starting with containers — it has a lower learning curve, no Kubernetes control plane costs, and tighter AWS integration. EKS is recommended for teams with existing Kubernetes skills or multi-cloud requirements.
5
What is AWS Fargate and how does it simplify container deployments?
AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers — you define your container image, CPU, and memory requirements, and Fargate runs the container without you managing any EC2 instances. No patching, no capacity planning, no cluster scaling. Fargate works with both ECS and EKS. Key benefits: (1) Zero infrastructure management — no EC2 instances to provision, scale, or patch. (2) Per-second billing — pay only for the vCPU and memory your container actually uses. (3) Isolation — each task runs in its own kernel-level isolation (Firecracker microVM). (4) Auto-scaling — Fargate scales tasks automatically with ECS Service Auto Scaling or Kubernetes HPA. When Fargate is NOT ideal: GPU workloads (Fargate doesn't support GPUs), workloads requiring very high sustained CPU (EC2 Graviton is more cost-effective), or workloads needing access to the host OS (daemonsets, host networking). PrecisionTech deploys Fargate for microservices, batch jobs, API backends, and scheduled tasks where operational simplicity outweighs the ~20% cost premium over self-managed EC2.
6
What is Amazon ECR and why do I need a container registry?
Amazon ECR (Elastic Container Registry) is a fully managed Docker container image registry — like Docker Hub, but private, secure, and integrated with AWS. ECR stores, manages, and deploys container images with: Image scanning — automatic vulnerability scanning using Amazon Inspector (previously Clair-based) on every push. Lifecycle policies — automatically clean up old, untagged, or expired images to control storage costs. Cross-region and cross-account replication — replicate images to other regions for disaster recovery or multi-region deployments. OCI artifact support — store Helm charts, OCI artifacts, and multi-architecture images. Private and public — ECR Public Gallery for open-source images, private repositories for your proprietary code. ECR integrates natively with ECS, EKS, CodeBuild, and CodePipeline — no Docker Hub credentials to manage, no pull rate limits, and image pulls from ECR within the same region are free. PrecisionTech configures ECR with vulnerability scanning gates in CI/CD pipelines — blocking deployment of images with critical CVEs.
7
What is AWS CloudFormation and how does Infrastructure as Code work?
AWS CloudFormation is AWS's native Infrastructure as Code (IaC) service — you declare your entire infrastructure in JSON or YAML templates, and CloudFormation provisions, configures, and manages all the AWS resources as a single unit called a stack. Key capabilities: Declarative templates — define VPCs, subnets, EC2 instances, RDS databases, IAM roles, S3 buckets, Lambda functions, and 1,000+ AWS resource types. Stack operations — create, update (with change sets for preview), and delete entire environments atomically. Drift detection — identify resources that have been manually changed outside CloudFormation. StackSets — deploy the same template across multiple AWS accounts and regions simultaneously. Nested stacks — modularize large templates into reusable components. CloudFormation is free — you only pay for the AWS resources it provisions. PrecisionTech uses CloudFormation for AWS-only environments where maximum native integration and zero third-party dependency are priorities.
8
What is the AWS CDK and how does it compare to CloudFormation and Terraform?
AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) is an open-source framework that lets you define cloud infrastructure using familiar programming languages — TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, Go — instead of YAML/JSON. CDK "synthesizes" your code into CloudFormation templates under the hood, so you get CloudFormation's reliability with the expressiveness of a real programming language. CDK vs CloudFormation: CDK offers loops, conditionals, type safety, IDE autocomplete, unit testing with standard testing frameworks, and reusable construct libraries. CloudFormation gives you raw template control and no additional abstraction layer. CDK vs Terraform: CDK is AWS-native (generates CloudFormation), while Terraform by HashiCorp supports multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes) with HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language). Terraform has a larger community of multi-cloud modules and a mature state management system. CDK is ideal for AWS-only shops with development teams who prefer writing TypeScript/Python over learning HCL. PrecisionTech recommends CDK for AWS-only teams with developers, Terraform for multi-cloud or infrastructure teams, and CloudFormation for regulated environments requiring maximum AWS-native control.
9
How does Terraform work on AWS and when should I choose it over CDK or CloudFormation?
Terraform by HashiCorp is an open-source IaC tool that uses HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) to define infrastructure across multiple cloud providers. On AWS, Terraform uses the AWS Provider to create and manage resources — VPCs, EC2, RDS, ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, IAM, and hundreds more. Key advantages: Multi-cloud support — single tool for AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and 3,000+ providers. State management — Terraform tracks resource state in a state file (stored in S3 + DynamoDB for team collaboration). Plan before apply — terraform plan shows exactly what will change before any modification. Module ecosystem — thousands of reusable modules in the Terraform Registry. Choose Terraform when: you operate across multiple clouds, your team already knows HCL, you need a single IaC tool for all infrastructure (including Kubernetes, Datadog, PagerDuty, GitHub), or you need enterprise features (Terraform Cloud/Enterprise). PrecisionTech maintains Terraform modules for common AWS patterns — VPC, ECS, EKS, RDS, and complete CI/CD pipeline stacks.
10
What is AWS Systems Manager and how does it simplify operations?
AWS Systems Manager (SSM) is a suite of operational tools for managing EC2 instances, on-premises servers, and edge devices at scale. Key capabilities: Session Manager — browser-based or CLI shell access to EC2 instances without SSH keys, bastion hosts, or open inbound ports. Fully audited via CloudTrail. Run Command — execute scripts or commands across hundreds of instances simultaneously without SSH. Patch Manager — automate OS and application patching with maintenance windows, patch baselines, and compliance reporting. Parameter Store — centralized, encrypted storage for configuration values, database connection strings, API keys, and secrets (free tier available; for advanced secrets use Secrets Manager). State Manager — enforce desired configuration state across your fleet. Automation — create runbooks for common operational tasks (restart services, snapshot EBS, rotate credentials). PrecisionTech configures SSM as the standard operations layer for all managed environments — replacing SSH with Session Manager, automating patching with Patch Manager, and storing all configuration in Parameter Store.
11
What is Amazon CloudWatch and how does it support DevOps monitoring?
Amazon CloudWatch is AWS's monitoring and observability service — collecting metrics, logs, and traces from AWS resources, applications, and on-premises servers. DevOps-critical features: Metrics — 1-second granularity for EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda, RDS, and custom application metrics. Alarms — trigger Auto Scaling actions, SNS notifications, or Lambda functions when metrics cross thresholds. Dashboards — real-time operational dashboards with cross-account and cross-region support. Logs Insights — serverless, interactive log analysis with a purpose-built query language — search and analyze log data from CloudWatch Logs in seconds. Container Insights — automatic monitoring for ECS and EKS clusters — CPU, memory, network, disk, and pod/task-level metrics without any agent configuration. Anomaly Detection — ML-based anomaly detection on metrics — automatically identifies unusual patterns without manually setting thresholds. Synthetics — canary scripts that probe your endpoints every minute to detect availability and latency issues before users do. PrecisionTech deploys CloudWatch as the unified monitoring layer with custom dashboards, actionable alarms, and automated incident response.
12
What is AWS X-Ray and how does distributed tracing help DevOps?
AWS X-Ray is a distributed tracing service that helps you analyze and debug microservices architectures. X-Ray traces requests as they travel through your application — from API Gateway to Lambda to DynamoDB, or from ALB to ECS to RDS — showing latency, errors, and faults at each service boundary. Key features: Service Map — visual representation of your application's architecture with real-time health status for each service. Trace analysis — drill into individual request traces to identify which service or query is causing latency. Annotations and metadata — add custom data to traces for filtering (e.g., customer_id, order_id). Groups — filter traces by attributes (error traces, slow traces, traces for a specific API). Insights — automatically detect performance anomalies and root causes. X-Ray integrates with Lambda, ECS, EKS, API Gateway, AppSync, and SNS/SQS. PrecisionTech instruments applications with X-Ray to reduce mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) from hours to minutes by pinpointing exactly where failures and latency bottlenecks occur.
13
What are blue/green deployments and how do they work on AWS?
Blue/green deployment is a release strategy that eliminates downtime by running two identical production environments — blue (current version) and green (new version). You deploy the new code to the green environment, run validation tests, then switch traffic from blue to green in one step. If anything goes wrong, you switch back to blue instantly. AWS implementation options: (1) CodeDeploy + ALB — creates a new Auto Scaling group (green), deploys the new version, runs health checks, then shifts ALB target group traffic. (2) ECS + CodeDeploy — creates a new ECS task set (green), validates via test listener, shifts production listener traffic with optional canary/linear rollout. (3) CloudFormation/CDK — create a new stack with the updated template, validate, then update DNS (Route 53 weighted routing). (4) Lambda aliases — shift traffic between Lambda function versions using weighted aliases. PrecisionTech implements blue/green with automated rollback triggers — if CloudWatch alarms fire during the green validation window, traffic automatically reverts to blue.
14
What are canary deployments and how do they reduce risk?
Canary deployment gradually rolls out a new version to a small percentage of users before shifting all traffic. Unlike blue/green (all-or-nothing traffic shift), canary lets you validate with real production traffic at minimal blast radius. AWS implementation: (1) CodeDeploy with ECS — CodeDeployDefault.ECSCanary10Percent5Minutes shifts 10% of traffic to the new task set, waits 5 minutes for CloudWatch alarm validation, then shifts the remaining 90%. (2) CodeDeploy with Lambda — CodeDeployDefault.LambdaCanary10Percent10Minutes works identically with Lambda function versions. (3) App Mesh + ECS/EKS — weighted routing in Envoy service mesh for fine-grained canary at the service-to-service level. (4) API Gateway canary — route a percentage of API requests to a new Lambda version via API Gateway stage canary settings. PrecisionTech defines canary deployment policies with CloudWatch metrics (error rate, latency P99, 5xx count) as automatic rollback triggers — ensuring bad deployments are caught and reverted within minutes.
15
What is DevSecOps on AWS and how do you integrate security into CI/CD?
DevSecOps integrates security practices directly into the CI/CD pipeline — so security testing happens automatically on every commit, not as a manual gate before production. AWS DevSecOps tools: (1) Amazon Inspector — automated vulnerability scanning for EC2 instances and ECR container images. Integrated into CodePipeline as a test action. (2) AWS CodeGuru Reviewer — ML-powered code review that identifies security vulnerabilities, resource leaks, and concurrency issues in Java and Python code. (3) Amazon CodeWhisperer Security Scans — scans code for hardcoded credentials, SQL injection, XSS, and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. (4) AWS Secrets Manager — rotate database credentials, API keys, and OAuth tokens automatically. Eliminates hardcoded secrets in code. (5) IAM Access Analyzer — validates IAM policies in your CloudFormation/CDK templates before deployment. (6) SAST/DAST integration — run SonarQube, Snyk, Checkov, or tfsec as CodeBuild actions. PrecisionTech builds DevSecOps pipelines with security scanning at every stage — pre-commit (secrets detection), build (SAST, dependency scanning), test (DAST, container scanning), and deploy (IAM policy validation, runtime protection with GuardDuty).
16
What is GitOps on AWS and how does it work with EKS?
GitOps is an operational model where Git is the single source of truth for both application code and infrastructure configuration. Changes are made via pull requests, and a GitOps controller automatically synchronizes the desired state (in Git) with the actual state (in the cluster). AWS GitOps with EKS: (1) Flux CD — CNCF graduated project, runs as a controller inside EKS, watches Git repositories, and applies Kubernetes manifests and Helm charts automatically. (2) ArgoCD — declarative GitOps controller with a visual dashboard, application sync status, and drift detection. Runs inside EKS and supports multi-cluster management. (3) AWS CodePipeline + EKS — CodePipeline triggers on Git commit, CodeBuild builds and pushes container images to ECR, then a deploy stage applies Kubernetes manifests via kubectl or Helm. GitOps benefits: full audit trail (Git history), easy rollback (git revert), consistent environments (dev/staging/prod from same repo), and reduced human error (no manual kubectl commands in production). PrecisionTech implements ArgoCD-based GitOps for EKS environments, with separate Git repos for application code and Kubernetes manifests, and automated image update policies.
17
What is AWS Proton and how does it enable platform engineering?
AWS Proton is a managed platform engineering service that lets infrastructure teams define standardized environment templates and service templates — then lets developers self-serve infrastructure without needing to understand the underlying CloudFormation, Terraform, or CDK. How it works: Platform engineers create versioned templates that define the VPC, ECS cluster, load balancer, CI/CD pipeline, monitoring, and IAM permissions. Developers select a template, provide a few inputs (service name, port, desired count), and Proton provisions the entire stack automatically. When the platform team updates a template version, Proton can automatically roll out infrastructure updates to all services using that template. Key benefit: Proton bridges the gap between platform teams who want consistency/governance and developers who want self-service speed. It enforces organizational standards (security, compliance, cost controls) while eliminating the bottleneck of developers waiting for infrastructure tickets. PrecisionTech designs Proton template libraries for organizations transitioning to a platform engineering model — standardizing container deployments, serverless backends, and CI/CD patterns.
18
What is AWS Copilot CLI and how does it simplify ECS/Fargate deployments?
AWS Copilot is an open-source CLI tool that simplifies building, releasing, and operating containerized applications on ECS and Fargate. Instead of writing CloudFormation templates or navigating the ECS console, Copilot provides a developer-friendly workflow: copilot init scaffolds a service from a Dockerfile, copilot deploy builds the image, pushes to ECR, and deploys to Fargate — creating the VPC, ECS cluster, ALB, CloudWatch logs, and IAM roles automatically. Key abstractions: Services — long-running processes (Load Balanced Web Service, Backend Service, Request-Driven Web Service via App Runner). Jobs — scheduled tasks (Scheduled Job). Environments — isolated deployment targets (dev, staging, prod) with their own VPCs and ECS clusters. Pipelines — CodePipeline-based CI/CD pipelines generated with one command. Copilot is ideal for startups and small teams that want to get containerized applications running on AWS in minutes without deep ECS/CloudFormation expertise. PrecisionTech uses Copilot for rapid prototyping and startup engagements, transitioning to CDK or Terraform as infrastructure complexity grows.
19
How does container security work on AWS (ECR, ECS, EKS)?
Container security on AWS spans the entire lifecycle — build, store, deploy, and runtime: Build phase — Use multi-stage Docker builds with minimal base images (AWS public ECR images, distroless). Scan Dockerfiles with Hadolint in CodeBuild. Never run containers as root. Registry (ECR) — Enable Amazon Inspector scanning on ECR repositories — every image push triggers automatic vulnerability scanning against the NVD (National Vulnerability Database). Set lifecycle policies to remove untagged images. Enable image tag immutability to prevent image tag overwriting. Orchestration (ECS/EKS) — Use IAM task roles (ECS) or IRSA (IAM Roles for Service Accounts) on EKS for least-privilege access. Enable awsvpc networking mode for task-level Security Groups. Use Secrets Manager for injecting secrets (not environment variables). Runtime — Enable GuardDuty for EKS to detect runtime threats (crypto mining, compromised pods, privilege escalation). Use Falco or Sysdig for runtime syscall monitoring on EKS. PrecisionTech implements defense-in-depth container security with scanning gates in CI/CD, admission controllers on EKS, and runtime threat detection.
20
How does AWS compare to Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions for CI/CD?
AWS CI/CD (CodePipeline + CodeBuild + CodeDeploy) — fully managed, deeply integrated with AWS services (ECS, EKS, Lambda, CloudFormation), pay-per-use pricing, no user seat costs. Best for teams that are all-in on AWS and want native integration. Azure DevOps (Azure Pipelines + Azure Repos + Azure Artifacts) — comprehensive platform with boards (project management), repos, pipelines, test plans, and artifacts in a single portal. Strong Windows/.NET ecosystem. Can deploy to AWS, but native integration is with Azure services. GitHub Actions — CI/CD built into GitHub with a massive marketplace of community actions. YAML-based workflow definitions. Excellent for open-source projects and teams using GitHub for source control. Can deploy to any cloud. Key differences: AWS CI/CD has zero user seat costs (pay only for build minutes), Azure DevOps charges per user beyond 5 (Basic plan), GitHub Actions is free for public repos and charges for private repo minutes beyond the free tier. AWS CI/CD offers the tightest AWS integration (IAM roles, VPC, cross-account), while GitHub Actions offers the broadest community ecosystem. PrecisionTech implements AWS-native CI/CD for AWS-centric organizations and helps teams using GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps deploy to AWS with cross-cloud pipeline architectures.
21
What is a DevOps monitoring strategy and what should I monitor on AWS?
A DevOps monitoring strategy covers four pillars — metrics, logs, traces, and alerts — across infrastructure, application, and business layers: Infrastructure metrics — CloudWatch for EC2 CPU/memory/disk, ECS/EKS container metrics (Container Insights), RDS Performance Insights, Lambda concurrent executions, and ALB request counts. Application metrics — custom CloudWatch metrics for request latency (P50, P95, P99), error rates (4xx, 5xx), throughput (requests/second), and business KPIs (orders/minute, sign-ups/hour). Logs — centralized in CloudWatch Logs with structured JSON logging, Logs Insights queries for troubleshooting, and cross-account log aggregation. Traces — X-Ray for distributed tracing across microservices, identifying latency bottlenecks and error propagation paths. Alerts — CloudWatch Alarms with composite alarms (multiple conditions), anomaly detection (ML-based), and escalation via SNS to PagerDuty/Opsgenie/Slack. Dashboards — operational dashboards showing the four golden signals (latency, traffic, errors, saturation). PrecisionTech deploys a complete monitoring stack on Day 1 of every engagement — not as an afterthought — with runbooks linked to every alarm.
22
What CI/CD best practices should I follow on AWS?
AWS CI/CD best practices that PrecisionTech implements for every client: 1. Everything in code — application code, infrastructure (CloudFormation/CDK/Terraform), pipeline definitions, monitoring rules, and alerts — all version-controlled in Git. 2. Trunk-based development — short-lived feature branches merged frequently to main. Reduces merge conflicts and enables continuous deployment. 3. Automated testing pyramid — unit tests (CodeBuild), integration tests (CodeBuild with VPC access to test databases), contract tests (for microservices APIs), and end-to-end tests (Selenium/Playwright in CodeBuild). 4. Immutable deployments — never modify running instances. Build fresh AMIs (EC2 Image Builder) or container images (CodeBuild + ECR) and deploy them via blue/green or rolling strategies. 5. Security scanning in pipeline — SAST, dependency scanning, container image scanning, IaC policy checks (Checkov, cfn-nag) as mandatory pipeline stages. 6. Deployment guardrails — automated rollback on CloudWatch alarm triggers, deployment approval gates for production, and canary/linear traffic shifting. 7. Observability from Day 1 — deploy monitoring, logging, and tracing before the first feature ships.
23
What is AWS CodeArtifact and why do I need artifact management?
AWS CodeArtifact is a fully managed artifact repository service that stores and shares software packages — npm (Node.js), Maven/Gradle (Java), pip (Python), NuGet (.NET), Swift, and generic formats. It acts as a secure, private proxy between your build process and public registries (npmjs.org, Maven Central, PyPI). Why artifact management matters for DevOps: (1) Security — CodeArtifact scans packages and lets you control which external packages enter your build pipeline. Blocks typosquatting and dependency confusion attacks. (2) Reliability — cached copies of upstream packages ensure builds succeed even if npmjs.org or PyPI has an outage. (3) Speed — packages cached in CodeArtifact within your AWS region download faster than fetching from public internet. (4) Internal packages — publish your internal libraries to CodeArtifact for team-wide reuse. (5) Governance — IAM policies control who can publish and consume packages. PrecisionTech configures CodeArtifact as the upstream proxy for all build pipelines — ensuring dependency integrity, availability, and auditability.
24
What happened to AWS CodeCommit and what should I use instead?
AWS announced in July 2024 that CodeCommit is no longer accepting new customers and will not receive new features, though existing repositories continue to function. AWS recommends migrating to third-party Git hosting: GitHub — the most popular option. Integrates with CodePipeline via GitHub (Version 2) source action and GitHub Actions for CI/CD. Best for teams already using GitHub or wanting the largest ecosystem. GitLab — full DevOps platform with built-in CI/CD. Integrates with CodePipeline via CodeStar Connections. Good for teams wanting an all-in-one DevOps platform. Bitbucket — Atlassian's Git hosting. Integrates with CodePipeline via CodeStar Connections. Best for teams using Jira and the Atlassian ecosystem. AWS CodeCatalyst — AWS's newer unified DevOps service that includes source repositories, CI/CD, issue tracking, and dev environments. Still maturing but is AWS's strategic direction. PrecisionTech migrates existing CodeCommit repositories to GitHub or GitLab with full Git history preservation, and reconfigures CodePipeline source actions to use CodeStar Connections for the new Git provider.
25
