CodeCatalyst in Action: Automating PR Creation for Route 53 and IAM Identity Center Management

https://jawspankration2024.jaws-ug.jp/

This session introduces our efforts to improve Amazon Route 53 and IAM Identity Center operations using Amazon CodeCatalyst, focusing on automating pull request (PR) generation from issues.
Route 53 and IAM Identity Center require team-specific customization while maintaining centralized management, making it challenging to balance democratization and efficiency in operations.
We tackled this by leveraging Amazon CodeCatalyst to automatically generate practical PRs from issues, aiming to democratize and streamline operations. We'll share the results of this challenge.
We'll provide real-time insights into our experience, detailing our approach, the challenges faced, and lessons learned.
Through this, we aim to offer valuable perspectives on CodeCatalyst's potential for reducing operational workload, providing attendees with crucial insights for their own AWS environments.

5. Motivation for this PoC - SRE team manages Route53 and IdC - Development team submits change requests via GitHub Issues. - Route53 and IdC are managed using IaC and have CI/CD - If the development team creates PRs instead of issues, and the SRE team reviews them, I think it could be democratized. - I find it difficult for the development team to create PR. - If PRs can be created from issues, the cognitive load will be reduced. 5

56. Takeaway - If it is based on resources, Amazon Q can generate code without any problems. - There were patterns where the instructions to add to the list or add if it does not exist did not generate accurate codes. - If you intend to fix it with PR, Amazon Q will generate code at a level that is not a problem. 56
