How to Install and Configure DevPortal via AWS

The integration of AWS into the VeeCode DevPortal allows development teams to manage and utilize AWS resources directly from the platform. This simplifies the process of provisioning and monitoring cloud infrastructure, while also providing easy access to services like EC2, S3, and RDS. With this integration, DevOps operations are centralized, increasing efficiency and reducing the time needed to deploy new features.

Benefits of AWS Integration​

  • Centralization: Manage AWS resources directly in the DevPortal.
  • Automation: Simplify processes such as instance creation and database management.
  • Security: Integrate AWS security policies into your DevOps workflow.
  • Scalability: Leverage AWS's scalable infrastructure, with direct control from the DevPortal.

Installation Requirements​

Prerequisites:

  • AWS Account: Ensure you have an active AWS account with the necessary permissions.
  • AWS Access Keys: Generate your access keys and configure them in the environment where the installation will occur.
  1. Infrastructure Setup:
    • VPC: Set up a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) if necessary to isolate your resources.
    • EC2: Create and configure EC2 instances to host the DevPortal.
    • RDS: Set up an RDS database if the DevPortal requires persistence.
  2. DevPortal Installation:
    • CloudFormation: Use CloudFormation templates to automate the provisioning of the required infrastructure.
    • CodeDeploy: Configure CI/CD pipelines to automate the deployment of the DevPortal on the EC2 instances.
  3. Post-Installation Configuration:
    • Security Setup: Configure IAM roles and permissions to control access to the DevPortal.
    • Integrations: Integrate the DevPortal with other AWS services, such as S3, Lambda, and API Gateway.
  4. Monitoring and Maintenance:
    • Use CloudWatch to monitor the performance of the DevPortal and set up alerts for critical events.

Each of these steps ensures that the DevPortal is properly installed and configured in the AWS environment, providing security, scalability, and integration with AWS's native services.
