In this video I demonstrate how to create your first Git repository on AWS CodeCommit, and make your first commit and push to the repo. There are many similarities with Github, but also AWS CodeCommit introduces many advantages as well.

AWS CodeCommit is private Git repositories, featured by:
- Fully managed, highly available.
- Code only in AWS Cloud account (increased security and compliance).
- Secure (encrypted, access control, etc.).
- Integrated with Jenkins/AWS CodeBuild/ other Continuous Integration (CI) tools.
- Version control: is the ability to understand the various changes that happened to the code over time (and possibly roll-back), such as Git version control.
- Collaboration with other developers.
- Making sure that the code is backed-up somewhere.
- Making sure that it is fully viewable and auditable.
- No size limit on repositories (scale seamlessly).

AWS CodeCommit works in this way:
- The developers push the code often to their code repository and it can be expensive. The industry has several players that has Github (where Github offers a bunch of free public repositories), and also free one or paid private ones based on if you are a company or not, BitBucket. etc.

This tool can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines for your MLOps projects. In the context of AWS infrastructure, you can build these pipelines and workflows together with AWS Code Build, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline with all benefits from these products.

- AWS CodeDeploy: aws.amazon.com/codedeploy
- AWS CodeBuild: docs.aws.amazon.com/managedservices/latest/userguide/code-build.html
- AWS CodePipeline: aws.amazon.com/codepipeline

Knowing AWS CodeCommit is a one of the crucial topics in the preparation for the AWS DevOps Professional certification exam. More tutorials on this will be soon.
