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

This module supports three use-cases:

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.).
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.

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.

Tip

👽 Use Atmos with Terraform

Cloud Posse uses atmos to easily orchestrate multiple environments using Terraform.
Works with Github Actions, Atlantis, or Spacelift.

Watch demo of using Atmos with Terraform

Example of running atmos to manage infrastructure from our Quick Start tutorial.

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>"
  elastic_beanstalk_environment_name = "<(Optional) Elastic Beanstalk environment name>"

  # Application repository on GitHub
  github_oauth_token  = "(Required) <GitHub Oauth Token with permissions to access private repositories>"
  repo_owner          = "<GitHub Organization or Person name>"
  repo_name           = "<GitHub repository name of the application to be built and deployed to Elastic Beanstalk>"
  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:
  # http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/sample-docker.html
  # https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/codebuild_project.html
  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"
  },
  {
    name  = "COMPANY_NAME"
    value = "Amazon"
  },
  {
    name = "TIME_ZONE"
    value = "Pacific/Auckland"
  }]
}

Important

In Cloud Posse's examples, we avoid pinning modules to specific versions to prevent discrepancies between the documentation and the latest released versions. However, for your own projects, we strongly advise pinning each module to the exact version you're using. This practice ensures the stability of your infrastructure. Additionally, we recommend implementing a systematic approach for updating versions to avoid unexpected changes.

Examples

Example: GitHub, NodeJS, S3 and EB

This is an example to build a Node app, store the build artifact to an S3 bucket, and then deploy it to Elastic Beanstalk running Node stack
