Deploy application using Jenkinsfile and AWS Code deploy - jenkins

Question

I am migrating from Jenkins 1.x to Jenkins 2. I want to build and deploy application using Jenkinsfile.
I am able to build gradle application, but I am confused about deploying application via AWS Codedeploy using Jenkinsfile.
Here is my jenkinsfile
node {
// Mark the code checkout 'stage'....
stage 'Checkout'
// Get some code from a GitHub repository
git branch: 'master',
credentialsId: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxx',
url: 'https://github.com/somerepo/someapplication.git'
// Mark the code build 'stage'....
stage 'Build'
// Run the gradle build
sh '/usr/share/gradle/bin/gradle build -x test -q buildZip -Pmule_env=aws-dev -Pmule_config=server'
stage 'Deploy via Codedeploy'
//Run using codedeploy agent
}
I have searched many tutorial but they're using AWS Code deploy plugin instead.
Could you help me deploying application via AWS Codedeploy using Jenkinsfile?
Thank you.

Answer 1

Alternatively you can use AWS CLI commands to do code deployment. This involves two steps.
Step 1 - Push the deployment bundle to S3 bucket. See the following command:
aws --profile {profile_name} deploy push --application-name {code_deploy_application_name} --s3-location s3://<s3_file_path>.zip
Where:
profile_name = name of AWS profile (if using multiple accounts)
code_deploy_application_name = name of AWS code deployment application.
s3_file_path = S3 file path for deployment bundle zip file.
Step 2 - Initiate code deployment
The second command is the used to trigger code deployment. See the following command:
aws --profile {profile} deploy create-deployment --application-name {code_deploy_application_name} --deployment-group-name {code_deploy_group_name} --s3-location bucket={s3_bucket_name},bundleType=zip,key={s3_bucket_zip_file_path}
Where:
profile = name of your AWS profile (if using multiple accounts)
code_deploy_application_name = same as step 1.
code_deploy_group_name = name of code deployment group. This is associated with your code deploy application.
s3_bucket_name = name of S3 bucket which will store your deployment artefacts. (Make sure that your role that performs code deploy has permissions to s3 bucket.)
s3_bucket_zip_file_path = same as step 1.
