Automation with AWS 1.7 Release Notes

02 October 2019

The Utoolity team is pleased to present Automation with AWS 1.7 – this release rebrands the existing Put CloudWatch Events action to also support Amazon EventBridge to relay, match and route Atlassian workflow events to AWS where they can be processed by one or more target services and adds support for managed IAM policies.

You can now use the Put EventBridge/CloudWatch Events action with all existing integrations for Bamboo, Jira and Jira Service Desk, and you can use managed IAM policies in addition to (or replacing) the former inline IAM policies to consolidate IAM policy management.

Highlights (Core)

Use the Put EventBridge Events action to route Atlassian workflow events

You can now use the Put EventBridge/CloudWatch Events action to relay Bamboo notifications, Jira workflow transitions, and Jira Service Desk automation rule executions via Amazon EventBridge so that you can match events and route them to one or more target functions or streams. This allows you to decouple the capturing of events like Jira Service Desk approvals, Jira workflow transitions or Bamboo plan executions from the decision to trigger subsequent automation by one or more target services:

Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that makes it easy to connect applications together using data from your own applications, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, and AWS services. [...] You can set up routing rules to determine where to send your data to build application architectures that react in real time to all of your data sources. EventBridge makes it easy to build event-driven applications because it takes care of event ingestion and delivery, security, authorization, and error handling for you.

Use managed policies to consolidate IAM policy management

You can now use managed IAM policies in addition to (or replacing) the former inline IAM policies to consolidate IAM policy management.

This feature is provided by Identity Federation for AWS, which is bundled and free for Automation with AWS licensees, see the resp. FAQ for details.
