AWS CodeStar(Continuous Delivery Toolchain)

• Question: "How do I set up CodeCommit, and then CodeBuild and then CodeDeploy," and then I have to unify everything with CodePipeline?" It sounds like a lot of work -> So this is what CodeStar solves as a problem.
• CodeStar is going to be a unified UI to easily manage software development activities in one place.
• A "quick way" to get started to corectly set-up CodeCommit, CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, Elastic Beanstalk, EC2,...
• Can edit the code "in the cloud" using AWS Cloud9
• It gives you a one-stop shop for you to just start a project, a development project, and automatically, CodeStar, for you, will give you this neat dashboard. And in this dashboard and behind the scenes, it will have created a CodeCommit repository, a CodeBuild build process a CodeDeploy, a CodePipeline.

-> So all of this makes CodeStar a central service that allows you developers to quickly start with development while using the best CI/CD practices
