How to update ECS container/TASK through Jenkins? - jenkins

Here's a beautiful related Q - "How do I deploy updated Docker images to Amazon ECS tasks?"
But my concern is how to integrate this with CI/CD pipeline when using Jenkins for CI.
Using Jenkins or any Jenkin's plugin is it possible to push the recently build docker image to ECR.
Using Jenkins or any Jenkin's plugin is it possible to update the ECS container/task with the recently built or published (to ECR) image.

you can using aws ecs cli comand to update your services

How to deploy the built docker image built by Cloud Build on Cloud Run automatically

Currently I trigger a Cloud Build each time a pull request is completed.
The image is built correctly, but we have to manually go to Edit and Deploy New Revision and select the most recent docker image to deploy.
How can we automate this process and have the a container deployed from the image automatically?
You can do it with a pretty simple GitHub Action. I have followed this article:
https://towardsdatascience.com/deploy-to-google-cloud-run-using-github-actions-590ecf957af0
Cloud Run also natively integrates with Cloud Build. You can import a GitHub repository and it sets up a GCB trigger for your repository (on the specified branch or tag filter).
You can use GitLab CI to automate your Cloud Run deployment.
Here are the tutorial if you want to automate your deployment with GitLab CI Link

Jenkins CI/CD deployment to AWS EKS without Docker registry

We are trying to setup a development CI/CD pipeline with Jenkins that builds the Docker Images and deploy that Directly to AWS EKS cluster. Is this even possible??
Our Existing system
Jenkins as CI to pick the Code from GitLab and Build Docker Image
After Build, Jenkins push the Image to Jfrog Artifactory(Professional)
We use Harness for CD, that picks the Image from Artifactory and deploy that
to AWS
Here, Artifiactory and Harness Incurs cost for us and we don't want to use that for Development builds. So, we have setup a Docker Registry with Soantype Nexus3 OSS(open source version).
I would like to know two Options here:
if I can use Jenkins to Build Docker Image and Push that to Nexus Docker Registry and Use Jenkins Itself for CD to deploy that to AWS EKS?
Build Docker images with Jenkins and directly deploy that to AWS EKS without even having to store it in a docker registry?
Any suggestions and help is highly appreciated!
the first option much better.
because one day may need roll-back docker image on Kubernetes. (even development environment)
or you can use AWS ECR. it's easier to use on EKS.
and I think ECR is cheaper than Nexus operation cost.
You may be happy to know that Harness has created a free software version of it's CD service, called Harness Continuous Delivery Community Edition, which should work nicely for your development builds.

Can Jenkins be used for Docker Swarm deployment?

How to automate Jenkins for Docker Swarm deployment.
I am wondering if there are any plugins available in Jenkins which will help in Docker Swarm deployment or any other alternative way through which we can achieve the automation of Swarm deployment using Jenkins existing plugins?
Fixed this problem by using a plugin called Publish over SSH
Need to install a Jenkins plugins “Publish over SSH”, this plugin will allows us to
Sends files over SSH(SFTP)
Execute commands on a remote server
First step will be to add remote hosts and second will be to add an execution/build step where the commands will be executed

How to connect jenkins to docker?

I have one jenkins server. There I cannot install docker. So the question is what is the correct way of integrating jenkins with a docker server? Whats the fastest easiest and most convenient way to integrate it?
1.Through a jenkins node with docker installed there
2.Through ssh? And if - how would the configuration look?
3.Only through installed docker on the main jenkins server
4.Other?
that depends on the version of Docker engine you are about to install and the jobs you want to sue it for ( pipeline , freestyle )
basically if your docker engine is no greater then version 1.11 the best way is to use Docker Plugin from Jenkins if you want to simulate containers as slaves.
you can also use workflow docker plugin and even ssh as you said.
it all depends on what you want to achieve from your docker usage

Continuous Deployment using Jenkins and Docker

We are building a java based high-availability service for a financial application. I am part of the team for managing continuous integration using Jenkins.
Lately we introduced continuous deployment too in the list and we opted for Docker containers.
Here is the the infrastructure:
The production cluster will have 3 RHEL machines running the following docker containers on each of them:
3 instances of Wildfly
Cassandra
Nginx
Application IDE is Netbeans and source code is in git.
Currently we are doing manual deployment on this infrastructure.
Please suggest me some tools which I use with Jenkins to complete the continuous deployment process.
You might want jenkins to trigger on each push to your jenkins repository. There are plugins that help you do that with a webhook.Gitlab-plugin is a solution similar solution exist for Github and other git solutions.
Instead of heavily relying on bash and jenkins configuration you might want to setup a jenkins pipeline with the jenkins pipeline plugin or even pipeline: multibranch plugin. With those you can automate your build in groovy code (jenkinsfile) in a repository with the possibility to add functunality with other plugins building on them.
You can then use the docker pipeline plugin to easily build docker containers, push docker images and run code inside docker containers.
I would suggest building your services inside docker so that your jenkins machine does not have all the different dependencies installed (and therefore maybe conflicting versions). Use docker containers with all the dependencies and run your build code in there with the docker pipeline plugin from groovy.
Install a registry solution to push and pull your docker images to.
Use the Pipeline: Shared Groovy Libraries to extract libraries from your jenkinsfiles so that they can be reused. Those library files should have their own repository which your jenkins knows about and keeps up to date. Possibly you can even have an entire pipeline process shared between multiple projects which simply add parameters in their jenkinsfile.
A lot of text and no examples. If you think something is interesting and you want to see some code just ask. I am currently setting all this up.
