Using the AWS CodeDeploy Application task in Bamboo

Configuration

Application Management

While useful for end to end automation and test scenarios, it is quite common to create CodeDeploy Applications e.g. via the AWS Management Console upfront and only manage Deployment Groups and Deployments from your build and deployment projects.

To configure an AWS CodeDeploy Application task:

Navigate to the Tasks configuration tab for the job (this will be the default job if creating a new plan).

Click the name of an existing AWS CodeDeploy Application task, or click Add Task and then AWS CodeDeploy Application to create a new task.

Complete the following settings:

Common (Bamboo)
Task Description	(Optional) Identify the purpose of the task.
Disable this task	Check, or clear, to selectively run this task.
...	Configure task/action specific parameters, see below ...
Bamboo Variables
Namespace	Provide the namespace for generated variables – defaults to `custom.aws` for backward compatibility.
Scope	Select the scope for generated variables – can be either Local (Variables will only be available in this job), or Result (Variables will be available in subsequent plan stages and deployment releases).
Common (AWS)
Action	Each task supports one or more actions depending on the target AWS resource. Select the desired action and configure the action specific parameters below.
Region	Select the desired AWS Region. Alternatively, select [Use region variable ...] to supply the region dynamically via Bamboo variables (needs to be a region code such as `ap-southeast-2`) - refer to How to parametrize the AWS region via a Bamboo variable for details.
...	Configure task/action specific parameters, see below ...
AWS Security Credentials
Source	Select the source for the required AWS Security Credentials – can be either Inline, an IAM Role for EC2 or a shared Identity Federation for AWS Connector.
Connector	(Conditional) Select the shared Identity Federation for AWS Connector. Alternatively, select [Use connector variable ...] to supply the connector dynamically via Bamboo variables (needs to be a connector id such as `f24e81bc-7aff-42db-86a2-7cf82e24d871`) - refer to How to parametrize the AWS connector via a Bamboo variable for details.

Actions supported by this task:

Create Application
Application Name	Specify an application name. This name must be unique within your account. If the specified name already exists, the task will fail.
Update Application
Application Name	Specify the application name.
New Application Name	Specify the new application name.
Delete Application
Application Name	see Update above

Variables

All tasks support Bamboo Variable Substitution/Definition - this task's actions generate variables as follows:

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
