Configuration

Tip

To ease common scenarios, the Create action allows to Update [the] stack, if it already exists, similarly the Update action allows to Create [the] stack, if it does not already exist.

To configure an AWS CloudFormation task:

  1. Navigate to the Tasks configuration tab for the job (this will be the default job if creating a new plan).
  2. Click the name of an existing AWS CloudFormation task, or click Add Task and then AWS CloudFormation Task to create a new task.
  3. Complete the following settings:

    1. Common to all tasks

      Include Page
      _CommonTaskParametersTable
      _CommonTaskParametersTable

    2. Actions supported by this task:

      Create

       
      Update stack, if it already existsCheck to apply the Update action, if the stack already exists. Clear to trigger a build failure otherwise.
      Stack Name

      Specify a stack name.

      Stack Template Source

      Specify the stack template source as an S3 URL or inline in JSON format. Insert fragments from the inline Examples dialog to get started.

      Template Parameters(Optional) Specify parameters in JSON format. Insert fragments from the inline Examples dialog to get started.
      Advanced Options 
      Tags(Optional) Tag the stack.
      Notifications (Amazon SNS Topic Notification ARN)(Optional) Specify the Amazon SNS topic ARN stack related events should be published to.
      Creation Timeout (minutes)Specify how much time can pass before the stack creation is considered failed.
      On failure action

      Select the action that will be taken if stack creation fails.

      Info
      titleStack Rollback

      Stack rollback is currently handled as follows, hopefully covering the majority of use cases (please let us know otherwise):

      • A stack rolled back successfully by CloudFormation is treated as a failed build by Bamboo.
      • A stack not rolled back due to rollback being disabled explicitly is still treated as a failed build by Bamboo.
      Enable IAM

      (Optional) Check if the stack should be allowed to access IAM resources.

      • (info) Enabling IAM requires the AWS Security Credentials source to be either 'Inline', or 'IAM Role for EC2 (Agent)', or a shared 'Identity Federation for AWS' connector with principal type 'Assume Role'.
      Stack Policy Source(Optional) Specify which update actions users can do and which resources they can take action on. See the Stack Policy Reference and Sample Stack Policies for details.

      Update

       
      Create stack, if it does not already exist

      Check to apply the Create action, if the stack does not already exists. Clear to trigger a build failure otherwise.

      Don't fail for no-op updateCheck to not fail the build, if the update does not have affect any resource. Clear to trigger a build failure otherwise.
      Stack Name or IdID
      Specify the target stack. You can use its name or idID.

      Don't fail for non existing stackCheck to not fail the build, if the stack does not exist (anymore). Clear to trigger a build failure otherwise.

      Validate

      Info

      The Validate action operates on a template rather than a stack. It has been included in this task for ease of use.

Legacy Variable Naming

(warning) 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
    • (info) variables with legacy naming without prefix remain available for compatibility (e.g. bamboo.StringWithRegex=Hello)
