Automation with AWS 1.8

Automation with AWS icon The Utoolity team is pleased to present Automation with AWS 1.8 – this release introduces remote conditions with AWS for Jira Service Desk automation, Jira workflow transitions, and Bamboo builds and deployments.

You can now use the Invoke Lambda Function action to evaluate remote conditions so that you can control Jira Service Desk automation rules via the Automate with AWS if condition, control Jira workflow transitions via the Automate with AWS workflow condition and Automate with AWS workflow validator, and fail or succeed Bamboo builds and deployments via the Automate with AWS task.

Highlights (Core)

Evaluate remote conditions with the Invoke Lambda Function action

AWS Lambda icon You can now use the Invoke Lambda Function action in applicable integrations to evaluate arbitrary remote conditions by returning a JSON result shape that adheres to the action response format schema:

{
    'result': false,
    'errorMessage': "Deployment blocked due to service being in alarm state"
}

This allows you to call AWS services and third-party REST APIs to ensure that any prerequisites for your workflows are automatically checked right before dependent steps are initiated.

Highlights (Jira)

Evaluate remote conditions to control Jira Service Desk automation rules

You can now use the Automate with AWS if condition to conditionally run Jira Service Desk automation rules based on the response returned from the Invoke Lambda Function.

Evaluate remote conditions to control Jira workflow transitions

You can now use the Automate with AWS workflow condition and Automate with AWS workflow validator to control Jira workflow transitions based on the response returned from the Invoke Lambda Function.

Highlights (Bamboo)

Evaluate remote conditions to fail or succeed Bamboo builds and deployments

You can now check Evaluate as condition within the Automate with AWS task to conditionally fail or succeed Bamboo builds and deployments based on the response returned from the Invoke Lambda Function.
