Module: cicd

Terraform module to create AWS CodePipeline with CodeBuild for CI/CD

This module supports three use-cases:

  1. GitHub -> S3 (build artifact) -> Elastic Beanstalk (running application stack). The module gets the code from a GitHub repository (public or private), builds it by executing the buildspec.yml file from the repository, pushes the built artifact to an S3 bucket, and deploys the artifact to Elastic Beanstalk running one of the supported stacks (e.g. Java, Go, Node, IIS, Python, Ruby, etc.).

    - http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/sample-nodejs-hw.html
    - http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/sample-go-hw.html
  1. GitHub -> ECR (Docker image) -> Elastic Beanstalk (running Docker stack). The module gets the code from a GitHub repository, builds a Docker image from it by executing the buildspec.yml and Dockerfile files from the repository, pushes the Docker image to an ECR repository, and deploys the Docker image to Elastic Beanstalk running Docker stack.
    - http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/sample-docker.html
  1. GitHub -> ECR (Docker image). The module gets the code from a GitHub repository, builds a Docker image from it by executing the buildspec.yml and Dockerfile files from the repository, and pushes the Docker image to an ECR repository. This is used when we want to build a Docker image from the code and push it to ECR without deploying to Elastic Beanstalk. To activate this mode, don't specify the app and env attributes for the module.

Usage

Include this repository as a module in your existing terraform code:

module "build" {
source = "cloudposse/cicd/aws"
# Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
# version = "x.x.x"
namespace = "eg"
stage = "staging"
name = "app"

# Enable the pipeline creation
enabled = true

# Elastic Beanstalk
elastic_beanstalk_application_name = "<(Optional) Elastic Beanstalk application name>"

branch = "<Branch of the GitHub repository>"

# http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/build-env-ref.html
# http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/build-spec-ref.html
build_image = "aws/codebuild/standard:2.0"
build_compute_type = "BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL"

# These attributes are optional, used as ENV variables when building Docker images and pushing them to ECR
# For more info:

privileged_mode = true
region = "us-east-1"
aws_account_id = "xxxxxxxxxx"
image_repo_name = "ecr-repo-name"
image_tag = "latest"

# Optional extra environment variables
environment_variables = [{
name = "JENKINS_URL"
value = "https://jenkins.example.com"

additional_tag_mapAdditional key-value pairs to add to each map in tags_as_list_of_maps. Not added to tags or id.
This is for some rare cases where resources want additional configuration of tags
and therefore take a list of maps with tag key, value, and additional configuration.
map(string){}no
attributesID element. Additional attributes (e.g. workers or cluster) to add to id,
in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the
end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the delimiter
and treated as a single ID element.

cache_typeThe type of storage that will be used for the AWS CodeBuild project cache. Valid values: NO_CACHE, LOCAL, and S3. Defaults to S3 to keep same behavior as before upgrading codebuild module to 0.18+ version. If cache_type is S3, it will create an S3 bucket for storing codebuild cache insidestring"S3"no
codebuild_cache_bucket_suffix_enabledThe cache bucket generates a random 13 character string to generate a unique bucket name. If set to false it uses terraform-null-label's id valuebooltrueno
contextSingle object for setting entire context at once.
See description of individual variables for details.
Leave string and numeric variables as null to use default value.
Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object,
except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.

descriptor_formatsDescribe additional descriptors to be output in the descriptors output map.
Map of maps. Keys are names of descriptors. Values are maps of the form
{<br/> format = string<br/> labels = list(string)<br/>}
(Type is any so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.)
format is a Terraform format string to be passed to the format() function.
labels is a list of labels, in order, to pass to format() function.
Label values will be normalized before being passed to format() so they will be
identical to how they appear in id.
Default is {} (descriptors output will be empty).
