Session Info

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.

Session Summary (by Amazon Bedrock)
    Takashi Yamaguchi, an SRE at SNS company and AWS Community Builder, presents on "Route 53 and IAM Center Management using Code Catalyst in Action Auto Meeting PR Creation." Current operations: - SRE team manages Route 53 and IAM Center - Developers request changes via GitHub - SRE team implements changes Motivation for POC: - Democratize the process by allowing developers to create pull requests directly - Reduce cognitive load for developers Code Catalyst constraints: - Free plan limited to 5 creations per month - Pro plan ($19/user/month) allows 30 creations - Maximum 3 free plan builder IDs per AWS account Results: 1. Route 53: - Successfully created correct DNS records after refining instructions 2. IAM Center: - Encountered issues with list management and user creation - Refined instructions improved results but still had some problems Key takeaways: - Code Catalyst generally produces good code for simple, resource-based operations - List manipulations and context-dependent tasks are challenging - Results vary based on instruction nuances and context - Refining instructions sometimes led to unexpected outcomes - Generated code may require manual modifications before use Conclusion: While Code Catalyst can generate usable code with some manual adjustments, it doesn't fully achieve the goal of allowing developers to create pull requests that SRE can approve without modification. Further updates or fine-tuning may improve its capabilities in the future.
