Using the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Application task in Bamboo

Configuration

Application Management

While useful for end to end automation and test scenarios, it is quite common to create target applications e.g. via the AWS Management Console upfront and only manage Application Versions and Environments from your build and deployment projects.

To configure an AWS Elastic Beanstalk 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 Elastic Beanstalk Application task, or click Add Task and then AWS Elastic Beanstalk Application to create a new task.

Complete the following settings:

Task Description	(Optional) Identify the purpose of the task.
Disable this task	Check, or clear, to selectively run this task.
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:

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

Create Application
Update application, if it already exists	Check to cover both scenarios with a single task
Application Name	Specify an application name. Must be unique within your account. If the specified name already exists, the task will fail.
Description	(Optional) Describe the application for easier identification.
Update Application
Create application, if it does not already exist	Check to cover both scenarios with a single task
Application Name	see Create above
Description	see Create above
Delete Application
Application Name	see Create 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
