The Utoolity team is pleased to present
Automation with AWS 1.10 –
this release adds full compatibility with Bamboo Data Center and adds an integration to start synchronous AWS Step Functions Express workflow executions.
You can now use the app with non-clustered and clustered Bamboo Data Center deployments to gain the flexibility and administrative control to manage mission-critical Bamboo sites, and you can run actions and evaluate conditions by starting synchronous Express workflow executions via the Start Synchronous Step Functions Execution action.
Highlights (Core)
Integrate distributed workflows with the Start Synchronous Step Functions Execution action
In addition to the asynchronous Start Step Functions Execution action, you can now also use the Start Synchronous Step Functions Execution action to process Bamboo notifications, Jira workflow transitions and Jira Service Management automation rule executions remotely with AWS Step Functions:
Synchronous Express Workflows allow developers to quickly receive the workflow response without needing to poll additional services or build a custom solution. This is useful for high-volume microservice orchestration and fast compute tasks that communicate via HTTPS.
Evaluate remote conditions with the Start Synchronous Step Functions Execution action
You can now use the Start Synchronous Step Functions Execution 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': "Workflow transition blocked due to a prerequisite condition being false"
}
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.
Supported integrations are the Jira Service Management Automate with AWS if condition, the Jira Automate with AWS workflow condition and Automate with AWS workflow validator, and the Bamboo Automate with AWS task.
Highlights (Bamboo)
Use the app with clustered Bamboo Data Center deployments
You can now also use the app with clustered Bamboo Data Center deployments to gain the flexibility and administrative control to manage mission-critical Bamboo sites.
Upgrade task for private secret keys
Previously, the app stored private secret keys used for encrypting long-term AWS security credentials in the local home directory. This worked fine for non-clustered (single node) usage, and clustered usage has still been possible by manually performing the few steps required to migrate the keys to the new Bamboo Data Center shared home directory.
To remove these manual steps, an upgrade task now automatically migrates the private secret keys from the local home to the new Bamboo Data Center shared home directory – this should be a quick and seamless process, refer to the Identity Federation for AWS 2.15 Upgrade Notes for details.
- This feature is provided by Identity Federation for AWS, which is bundled and free for Automation with AWS licensees, see the resp. FAQ for details.
