Automation with AWS 1.9 Release Notes

30 November 2020

The Utoolity team is pleased to present Automation with AWS 1.9 – this release adds an action to get parameters from the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store to evaluate remote conditions and inject remote configuration data and secrets. It also adds an IAM role for EC2/ECS credentials provider and introduces namespace and scope handling for generated Bamboo variables.

You can now use the Get Systems Manager Parameter action to evaluate remote conditions so that you can control Jira Service Management automation rules via the Automate with AWS if condition, control Jira workflow transitions via the Automate with AWS workflow condition and Automate with AWS workflow validator, and fail or succeed Bamboo builds and deployments via the Automate with AWS task. You can also use this action to inject remote configuration data and secrets stored as secure parameters in the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, or stored as secrets within AWS Secrets Manager. Further, you can now provide AWS security credentials via an IAM role for EC2/ECS when you run your Atlassian products on Amazon EC2, Amazon ECS, or AWS Fargate, and you can adjust the namespace and scope of generated Bamboo variables.
