All Tasks support Bamboo variables, both substituting them within parameters for AWS resource management and defining them from created AWS resources.

Info
To empower advanced build and automation scenarios, it his highly recommended to become acquainted with Using Global, Plan or Build-specific Variables.

Variables are substituted in all Task configuration text fields (e.g. Stack Name, Template URL, Instance ID, Volume ID etc.).Please note the following feature

Note
titleSensitive Data Masking

Tasks may emit sensitive data like credentials which are not supposed to surface in build logs - this can be achieved as follows:

  • if the variable key contains the phrase "password", the value will be masked with "********" in the build logs;

...

  • for example, if the key is "password", "awsAccessKeyPassword" or "awsSecretKeyPassword", the build log will show the substituted value as "********"

Variable Definition

Variables are defined by all most Tasks for reuse in subsequent Tasks as follows, see Bamboo Variable Substitution/Definition for details, and each task's documentation for example log outputs.

  • (info) A task's generated variables might get amended with respective AWS API additions over time - a live build log will always provide the most current variable shape accordingly.

Example

This example  illustrates the variable generation pattern:

  • variables have a dedicated prefix like bamboo.custom.aws.*, with * being a task specific prefix, e.g. bamboo.custom.aws.cfncloudformation.stack
  • variables refering referring to a collection of resources provide their ids in a semicolon separated list (i.e. the same format available on input), e.g. ${bamboo.custom.aws.ec2.imageinstance.resources} with values amii-985b21f1a316b842;ami-9a5b21f3i-b4210842 (line 2)
  • you can refer to these variables from subsequent tasks via something like ${

    bamboo.

    custom.aws.ec2.instance.

    cfn

    resources.

    stack

    i-a316b842.

    sampleStackOutputKey}
  • these variables are also available as environment variables in the Script Task for example, albeit named slightly different, e.g. $bamboo_custom_aws_cfn_stack_StringWithRegex (Unix) or %bamboo_custom_aws_cfn_stack_StringWithRegex% (Windows)

 

Info
title Please note the following constraints:
  • variables are only reusable in subsequent tasks and not in other jobs/stages due to the implied concurrency, see the following discussion and workaround

Available Task Variables

The following variables are available in the various tasks:

AWS CloudFormation Stack

...

relevant resource values for each affected stack, e.g. custom.aws.cloudformation.stack.resources.SampleStack-42.StackStatus=CREATE_COMPLETE

  • properties converted to variables: StackName, StackStatus, CreationTime, LastUpdatedTime
  • collection converted to variables: tags, parameters, resources, outputs

...

  • the value of each provided stack parameter , e.g. bamboo.custom.aws.cloudformation.stack.resources.SampleStack-42.parameters.NumberWithRange=2

...

  • the value of each generated stack output, e.g. bamboo.custom.aws.cloudformation.stack.resources.SampleStack-42.outputs.StringWithRegex=Hello

...

  • relevant resource values for each affected stack resource, e.g. custom.aws.cloudformation.stack.resources.SampleStack-42.resources.i-3280997f.ResourceStatus=CREATE_COMPLETE

    • properties converted to variables: ResourceStatus, LogicalResourceId, PhysicalResourceId, Timestamp

...

Info
titleLegacy Variable Naming

CloudFormation Variables had been named inconsistently in previous versions of this add-on - the following names are deprecated, but remain available for compatibility reasons for the time being:

  • the collection of affected stack resources, e.g. bamboo.custom.aws.cfn.stack.resources=i-3280997f;vol-e1debbcd;test-stack-SecurityGroup-KZWPADIUPCL6
  • the status of each affected stack resource, e.g. bamboo.custom.aws.cfn.stack.i-3280997f=CREATE_COMPLETE
  • the collection of generated stack outputs, e.g. bamboo.custom.aws.cfn.stack.outputs=sampleStackOutputKey;StringWithRegex;...
  • the value of each generated stack output, e.g. bamboo.custom.aws.cfn.stack.StringWithRegex=Hello
    • Note: The variables with legacy naming without prefix remain available for compatibility (e.g. bamboo.StringWithRegex=Hello)

AWS Elastic Beanstalk Environment

  • the collection of affected environments, e.g. bamboo.custom.aws.elasticbeanstalk.environment.resources=e-3rcffs78rn
  • relevant resource values for each affected environment, e.g. custom.aws.cloudformation.stack.resources.SampleStack-42.StackStatus=CREATE_COMPLETE

    • properties converted to variables: EnvironmentId, ApplicationName, CNAME, DateCreated, DateUpdated, Description, EndpointURL, EnvironmentName, Health, SolutionStackName, Status, TemplateName, VersionLabel

Amazon EC2 Instance

  • the collection of affected instances, e.g. bamboo.custom.aws.ec2.instance.resources=i-fa7b4596;i-080eec64
  • relevant resource values for each affected instance, e.g. custom.aws.ec2.image.resources.i-fa7b4596.State=running

    • properties converted to variables: InstanceId, State, PrivateDnsName, PrivateIpAddress, PublicDnsName, PublicIpAddress, LaunchTime
    • collection converted to variables: tags

Amazon EC2 Image

  • the collection of affected images, e.g. bamboo.custom.aws.ec2.image.resources=ami-985b21f1;ami-9a5b21f3
  • relevant resource values for each affected image, e.g. custom.aws.ec2.image.resources.ami-985b21f1.State=available
    • properties converted to variables: ImageId, State
    • collection converted to variables: tags

Amazon EBS Snapshots

  • the collection of affected snapshots, e.g. bamboo.custom.aws.ec2.snapshots.resources=snap-f4dc35a1
  • relevant resource values for each affected snapshot, e.g. custom.aws.ec2.snapshot.resources.snap-f4dc35a1.State=completed
  • properties converted to variables: SnapshotId, State, VolumeId, VolumeSize, StartTime
  • collection converted to variables: tags

    PrivateDnsName} (line 6) - however, given script access to such a named resource is difficult, there is a shortcut to ease reusing the first (and often only) affected resource via something like ${custom.aws.ec2.instance.first.i-a316b842.PrivateDnsName} (line 19):
