Jenkins on AWS

  • Jenkins is an open source CICD tool
  • It can replace CodeBuild, CodePipeline and CodeDeploy
  • It must be deployed in master/slave configuration. This would require Multi-AZ deploy on EC2
  • All projects must have a Jenkinsfile for configuration, similar to buildspec.yml
  • Jenkins can be extended on AWS with the help of many plugins

Jenkins Integration with CodePipeline

  • Jenkins can be integrated as a stage in CodePipeline. For example it can replace CodeBuild by doing the build of the project

Jenkins Plugins

  • Amazon EC2 plugin: if Jenkins notices that our build cluster is overloaded, it will start instances using the EC2 API and automatically connect them as Jenkins agents. When the load goes down, excess EC2 instances will be terminated
  • AWS CodeBuild plugin: official AWS plugin. Jenkins will send all the build jobs to CodeBuild
  • Amazon Elastic Container Service plugin: Jenkins agents will be launched in AWS ECS
  • AWS CodePipeline plugin: use Jenkins and CodePipeline together
  • Artifact Manager on S3: keep artifacts and pipeline stats on S3
