This is the official plugin for AWS CodeBuild that's managed by CodeBuild engineering team. You can reach out to us for submitting feedback or feature requests at codebuild-feedback@amazon.com.
The AWS CodeBuild plugin for Jenkins provides a build step for your Jenkins project.
Setup Jenkins
We have written a blog post for setting up Jenkins with AWS CodeBuild plugin pre-installed. Learn more: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/simplify-your-jenkins-builds-with-aws-codebuild/.
Plugin Installation (Optional)
If you already have a Jenkins setup and would like to only install the AWS CodeBuild plugin, then the recommended approach would be to search for "AWS CodeBuild Plugin for Jenkins"
in the Plugin Manager on your Jenkins instance.
Plugin Usage
Using the AWS CodeBuild plugin with the Jenkins Pipeline plugin
Your CodeBuild project can be configured in a Jenkins Pipeline. as shown below. You can use the snippet generator (click "Pipeline Syntax" on your pipeline project page) to generate the pipeline script that adds CodeBuild as a step in your pipeline. It should generate something like:
awsCodeBuild
projectName: 'project', credentialsType: 'keys', region:
'us-west-2', sourceControlType: 'jenkins'
View without Jenkins Blue Ocean plugin:
(Recommended) View with Jenkins Blue Ocean plugin:
Using AWS CodeBuild with Jenkins
- Create Project on the AWS CodeBuild console.
- Switch to the region you would prefer to run the build in.
- You can optionally set the Amazon VPC configuration to allow CodeBuild build container to access resources within your VPC.
- Make sure to write down the project's name.
- (Optional) If your source repository is not natively supported by CodeBuild, you can set the input source type for your project as S3 for the CodeBuild project.
- Create AWS IAM user to be used by the Jenkins plugin.
- Create a policy similar to the one following this section.
- Go to the IAM console, and create a new user.
- Access type should be: Programmatic Access.
- Attach policy to user that you created previously.
- Create a freestyle project in Jenkins.
- On the Configure page, choose Add build step > Run build on AWS AWS CodeBuild.
- Configure your build step.
- Enter Region, Credentials from the user created previously, and ProjectName.
- Select Use Project source.
- Save the configuration and run a build from Jenkins.
- For the Source Code Management make sure to select how you would like to retrieve your source. You may need to install the GitHub Plugin (or the relevant source repository provider's Jenkins plugin) to your Jenkins server.
- On the Configure page, choose Add build step > Run build on AWS CodeBuild.
- Configure the build step.
- Enter Region, Credentials from the user created previously, and Project name.
- Select Use Jenkins source.
- Save the configuration and run a build from Jenkins.
Policy sample for IAM user:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": ["arn:aws:logs:{{region}}:{{awsAccountId}}:log-group:/aws/codebuild/{{projectName}}:*"], "Action": ["logs:GetLogEvents"] }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::{{inputBucket}}"], "Action": ["s3:GetBucketVersioning"] }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::{{inputBucket}}/{{inputObject}}"], "Action": ["s3:PutObject"] }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::{{outputBucket}}/*"], "Action": ["s3:GetObject"] }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": ["arn:aws:codebuild:{{region}}:{{awsAccountId}}:project/{{projectName}}"], "Action": ["codebuild:StartBuild", "codebuild:BatchGetBuilds", "codebuild:BatchGetProjects"] } ] }
Using the AWS CodeBuild plugin with the Jenkins Pipeline plugin
Use the snippet generator (click "Pipeline Syntax" on your pipeline project page) to generate the pipeline script that adds CodeBuild as a step in your pipeline. It should generate something like
awsCodeBuild projectName: 'project', credentialsType: 'keys', region: 'us-west-2', sourceControlType: 'jenkins'
Additionally, this returns a result object which exposes the following methods which can be useful to later steps:
getBuildId()
: returns the build ID of the build (similar tocodebuild-project-name:12346789-ffff-0000-aaaa-bbbbccccdddd
)getArn()
: returns the ARN of the build (similar toarn:aws:codebuild:AWS_REGION:AWS_ACCOUNT_ID:build/CODEBUILD_BUILD_ID
, whereCODEBUILD_BUILD_ID
is the same information returned in getBuildId)getArtifactsLocation()
: returns the S3 ARN of the artifacts location (similar toarn:aws:s3:::s3-bucket-name/path/to/my/artifacts
)
AWS Credentials in Jenkins
It's recommended to use the Jenkins credentials store for your AWS credentials. Your Jenkins credentials must be of type CodeBuild Credentials
to be compatible with the CodeBuild plugin. When creating new CodeBuild Credentials
, the plugin will attempt to use the default credentials provider chain if AWS access and secret keys are not defined.
You can also specify your AWS access and secret keys in the CodeBuild configuration when using credentialsType: 'keys'
. If the access and secret keys are not specified, the plugin will attempt to use the default credentials provider chain. When running a Jenkins pipeline build, the plugin will attempt to use credentials from the pipeline-aws plugin before falling back to the default credentials provider chain. If you are running Jenkins on an EC2 instance, leave the access and secret key fields blank and specify credentialsType: 'keys'
to use credentials from your EC2 instance profile, which is in the default credentials provider chain.
