Setting up Configuration Management for ContentSphere Platform

Business Scenario

Manager:
We have successfully automated the ContentSphere infrastructure using AWS CloudFormation. However, we also need an efficient way to manage the complete infrastructure lifecycle, including updates, modifications, and resource cleanup.

DevOps Engineer:
To achieve this, we can use AWS CloudFormation along with the AWS CDK. CloudFormation provisions the infrastructure, while AWS CDK allows us to define infrastructure using programming languages.

Manager:
How will this improve our infrastructure management?

DevOps Engineer:
It enables automated deployments, simplifies infrastructure updates, supports version control, and makes it easy to create, modify, and delete AWS resources.

Manager:
What is our implementation plan?

DevOps Engineer:
We will create AWS CDK applications, synthesize CloudFormation templates, deploy infrastructure, and manage updates and resource deletion through the infrastructure lifecycle.

DevOps Engineer to Team:
Team, we will build AWS CDK projects, deploy the ContentSphere infrastructure, perform stack updates, monitor deployment status, and safely destroy resources when they are no longer needed.

Team:
Understood. We will manage the complete ContentSphere infrastructure lifecycle using AWS CloudFormation and AWS CDK to ensure automated, consistent, and maintainable cloud deployments.

Pre-Lab Preparation

Task 1: Understanding BRD

Before you start building anything, you need to clearly understand what the client actually wants.So, let’s begin by understanding the BRD (Business Requirement Document) shared by the client.

BRD Full Form is Business Requirement Details.BRD like a plan for building a house. This plan helps the builder understand what to build.In the same way,BRD tells developers what the client wants to build

Click to download BRD : BiteBox_BRD.pdf

Activity

After going through BRD list down the Core Features and  Web Pages in the tabulated Format as shown Below.

Col 1Col 2Col 3
Row 1
Row 2
Row 3

Formula

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Task 2: Create WireFrame

Now that you understand the requirements, don’t jump into coding yet. Before development, we always visualize the layout.

Now lets  create a simple wireframe for the homepage.

A wireframe is like a layout plan of a house. Before building, you decide where rooms, doors, and windows will be placed.Similarly, a wireframe helps you plan where elements like headers, images, and buttons will appear on a webpage—before adding design or colours.

Task 3: Code Editor Installation

Good work on completing the planning phase.

Now we will start development. Before that, make sure your system is ready with the required tools.

In this step we will install the VS code editor that will help to Write code efficiently,Organize files , Run and test your application

Go to the visual studio code official website

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int x = 10;
        int y = 20;
        int sum = x + y;
        
        System.out.println("The sum is: " + sum);
    }
}

public class MathSample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int x = 10;
        int y = 20;
        int sum = x + y;
        
        System.out.println("The sum is: " + sum);
    }
}
