Design considerations
This guidance fully leverages infrastructure as code principles and best practices that allow you to rapidly evolve the guidance. Storing your Extract Transform and Load (ETL) job, crawler, and data lake definitions as code makes them easier to share, inspect for compliance, and reproduce. Additionally, each change you make is tracked by the CI/CD pipeline, facilitating change control management, rollbacks, and auditing.
Regional deployment
This guidance uses the AWS CodePipeline service, which is currently available in specific AWS
Regions only. Therefore, you must launch this guidance in an AWS Region where this service
is available. For the most current service availability by AWS Region, refer to the AWS
Regional Services List
