A company has containerized all of its in-house quality control applications.

The following are the steps involved in accomplishing this in the most maintainable manner:

Use AWS CodeBuild with artifact encryption to replace the Jenkins instance running on EC2 instances.

Configure CodeBuild to encrypt the build artifacts using AWS Secrets Manager.

Deploy the containerized quality control applications to CodeBuild.

This approach is the most maintainable because it eliminates the need to manage Jenkins on EC2 instances. CodeBuild is a managed service, so the DevOps engineer does not need to worry about patching or upgrading the service.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/security-encryption.html Build artifact encryption - CodeBuild requires access to an AWS KMS CMK in order to encrypt its build output artifacts. By default, CodeBuild uses an AWS Key Management Service CMK for Amazon S3 in your AWS account. If you do not want to use this CMK, you must create and configure a customer-managed CMK.
