Use the Automate with AWS task to run remote actions with AWS from Bamboo jobs, specifically from builds and deployments.



Configuration

To configure an Automate with AWS task:

1. Follow the initial steps in Create a task for a job

2. Select the Automate with AWS task

3. Complete the following settings:

Action

Select the remote AWS action.

Parameters

Specify the parameters (JSON).

Evaluate as condition

Check to fail build based when returning an expected response format.

AWS Security Credentials



Source

Select the AWS Credentials source (see below) – can be either 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.

Role ARN

(Conditional | Optional) Specify the ARN of another role that the agent's IAM role for EC2 should assume.

4. Configure the selected AWS action's parameters template as documented for each action:




Entity Variables

Besides regular Bamboo variables, you can also inject contextual variables with workflow entities into the remote action parameters template – applicable entities for the Bamboo task are:

Examples

The examples are currently composed to reference only core entity variables – you can also reference Bamboo variables and applicable Bamboo specific entity variables.

    Invoke Lambda Function — This parameters template demonstrates the Invoke Lambda Function action:

    JSON escaping requirements

    If a parameter within the JSON formatted parameters template is a JSON structure in itself (e.g. the Lambda function payload), it needs to be escaped before adding it as a value - this has two implications:

    • (tick) custom content needs to be escaped, which can be achieved by Composing action payloads with utility functions, specifically the $util.escapeJson() function

    • (warning) variables with conflicting content (e.g. multi line variables like JIRA's $issue.fields.description or Bamboo's $notification.textEmailContent or JSON structures retrieved via JSONPath) need to be escaped twice, via $util.escapeJson($util.escapeJson(...)) - we are exploring options on how to make this easier in a future release

    JSON Message Generator

    The AWS Management Console features a JSON Message Generator that eases composition of the required JSON message structure, refer to section Create Different Messages for Each Protocol for within Publish to a topic for details.
