Module: ecs-codepipeline

Terraform Module for CI/CD with AWS Code Pipeline using GitHub webhook triggers and Code Build for ECS.

Usage

For a complete example, see examples/complete.

For automated tests of the complete example using bats and Terratest, see test.

Trigger on GitHub Push

In this example, we'll trigger the pipeline anytime the master branch is updated.

module "ecs_push_pipeline" {
source = "cloudposse/ecs-codepipeline/aws"
# Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
# version = "x.x.x"
name = "app"
namespace = "eg"
stage = "staging"
github_oauth_token = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
github_webhooks_token = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
repo_owner = "cloudposse"
repo_name = "example"
branch = "master"
service_name = "example"
ecs_cluster_name = "eg-staging-example-cluster"
privileged_mode = "true"
}

Trigger on GitHub Releases

In this example, we'll trigger anytime a new GitHub release is cut by setting the even type to release and using the json_path to exactly match an action of published.

module "ecs_release_pipeline" {
source = "cloudposse/ecs-codepipeline/aws"
# Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
# version = "x.x.x"
name = "app"
namespace = "eg"
stage = "staging"
github_oauth_token = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
github_webhooks_token = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
repo_owner = "cloudposse"
repo_name = "example"
branch = "master"
service_name = "example"
ecs_cluster_name = "eg-staging-example-cluster"
privileged_mode = "true"
github_webhook_events = ["release"]
webhook_filter_json_path = "$.action"
webhook_filter_match_equals = "published"
}

Example Buildspec

Here's an example buildspec.yaml. Stick this in the root of your project repository.

version: 0.2
phases:
pre_build:
commands:
- echo Logging in to Amazon ECR...
- aws --version
- eval $(aws ecr get-login --region $AWS_DEFAULT_REGION --no-include-email)
- REPOSITORY_URI=$AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.$AWS_REGION.amazonaws.com/$IMAGE_REPO_NAME
- IMAGE_TAG=$(echo $CODEBUILD_RESOLVED_SOURCE_VERSION | cut -c 1-7)
build:
commands:
- echo Build started on `date`
- echo Building the Docker image...
- REPO_URI=$AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.$AWS_REGION.amazonaws.com/$IMAGE_REPO_NAME
- docker pull $REPO_URI:latest || true
- docker build --cache-from $REPO_URI:latest --tag $REPO_URI:latest --tag $REPO_URI:$IMAGE_TAG .
post_build:
commands:
- echo Build completed on `date`
- echo Pushing the Docker images...
- REPO_URI=$AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.$AWS_REGION.amazonaws.com/$IMAGE_REPO_NAME
- docker push $REPO_URI:latest
- docker push $REPO_URI:$IMAGE_TAG
- echo Writing image definitions file...
- printf '[{"name":"%s","imageUri":"%s"}]' "$CONTAINER_NAME" "$REPO_URI:$IMAGE_TAG" | tee imagedefinitions.json
artifacts:
files: imagedefinitions.json

Inputs

NameDescriptionTypeDefaultRequired
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.
list(string)[]no
aws_account_idAWS Account ID. Used as CodeBuild ENV variable when building Docker images. For more infostring""no
badge_enabledGenerates a publicly-accessible URL for the projects build badge. Available as badge_url attribute when enabledboolfalseno

buildspecDeclaration to use for building the project. For more infostring""no
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 value. It only works when cache_type is 'S3'booltrueno
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. If cache_type is S3, it will create an S3 bucket for storing codebuild cache insidestring"S3"no
codebuild_extra_policy_arnsList of ARNs of extra policies to attach to the CodeBuild rolelist(string)[]no
codebuild_vpc_configConfiguration for the builds to run inside a VPC.any{}no
codestar_connection_arnCodeStar connection ARN required for Bitbucket integration with CodePipelinestring""no
codestar_output_artifact_formatOutput artifact type for Source stage in pipeline. Valid values are "CODE_ZIP" (default) and "CODEBUILD_CLONE_REF". See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/action-reference-CodestarConnectionSource.htmlstring"CODE_ZIP"no
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.

delimiterDelimiter to be used between ID elements.
Defaults to - (hyphen). Set to "" to use no delimiter at all.
stringnullno
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).

list(string)nullno
label_value_caseControls the letter case of ID elements (labels) as included in id,
set as tag values, and output by this module individually.
Does not affect values of tags passed in via the tags input.
