AWS Proton automates this management thus allowing both Platform teams & Developers to play their respective roles efficiently without any conflict or confusion.
AWS Proton is a fully managed application deployment service for applications running on containers or serverless environments.Proton enables Platform or Operations teams to effectively manage all the various tools used by the development team for infrastructure provisioning, code deployments, monitoring and updates.
Platform or Operations teams have a complex job of maintaining hundreds of microservices that involves changing CI/CD configurations, infrastructure resources etc.,Now in order to streamline all the operations, Protons allows platform teams to create a “Stack” . This Stack contains all the necessary information that is needed to provision, deploy, and monitor a service, including compute, networking, code pipeline, security, and monitoring. Then these published Stacks are accessed by the development team using the self-service interface to quickly deploy their application code with minimum configurations.
