AWS Transform for mainframe refactor

AWS DevOps Pipeline (DOP)

1.8.0

New features:

  • AWS DevOps Pipeline has been enhanced to support CI/CD/CT workflows across any branch of the modernized application. This allows teams to customize their deployment strategies beyond the previous master and develop branch restrictions.
  • CI/CD/CT now supports multiple Gapwalk Runtime versions, facilitating faster version adoption across projects.

Improvements:

  • The application build pipelines now include a configurable parameter to toggle SonarQube code analysis execution.

    1.7.0

    New features:

  • AWS DevOps Pipeline no longer uses CodeCommit. A dedicated GitLab server is now deployed within the client's VPC account.
  • Gitlab is backed up twice a day, once a week, once a month.

Improvements:

  • Test case execution durations are now displayed in the Jenkins console log.
  • Most of the binaries are stored in s3 tools so developers can use the version they want. (Except for CompareTool which is still deployed by the CDK scripts)
  • Jenkins connects to AWS Blu Age RTS by using Cognito

  • AWS Blu Age DevOps Pipeline code is now stored in gitlab-devops repository only

    1.6.0

  • Jenkins config jobs can be automatically updated by modifying the variable UPDATE_CONFIGURATION in /jenkins/VARIABLES and running the pipeline codepipeline-jenkins
  • Jenkins can run Selenium(ITC) and Batch(BTC) test cases
  • Jenkins can run jobs in parallel but the number of EC2s in the ECS cluster is not scalable
  • All the jobs are run every night except the weekend

  • Jenkins jobs can handle multiple CompareDB
  • Jenkins jobs can handle multiple CompareFile (file type: binary and textFile)
  • Jenkins displays PDF files generated by the server in the report section
