Automation with AWS 1.2

The Utoolity team is pleased to present Automation with AWS 1.2 – this release adds a Bamboo task to run remote actions with AWS from Bamboo jobs in build and deployment projects, and adds utility functions to ease JSON escaping, URL encoding, and Base64 encoding. You can now use the Automate with AWS task with all available AWS actions, and you can compose action payloads with utility functions.

Highlights (Core)

Compose action payloads with utility functions

You can now compose action payloads with utility functions to ease JSON escaping, URL encoding, and Base64 encoding. If custom content within the JSON formatted parameters template is a JSON structure in itself, it needs to be escaped - this can now be achieved right within the template so that JSON content can simply be pasted from other sources for example:

{
  "FunctionName": "arn:aws:lambda:ap-southeast-2:123456789012:function:sample-AutomationWithAWSQuickstartLamb-1RRX37PWXZXLS",
  "Payload": "$util.escapeJson('{
      "Event":"$event.simpleName",
      "Timestamp": "$event.timestamp",
      "TraceID": "$event.traceId"
    }')"
}

Highlights (Bamboo)

Run remote actions with AWS from a Bamboo task

You can now use the Automate with AWS task to run remote actions with AWS from Bamboo jobs, specifically from builds and deployments. The task supports all available actions and supports injection of regular Bamboo variables and contextual entity variables into the action payload.
