Jenkinsfile to automatically deploy to EKS - amazon-web-services

Question

How do I pass my aws credentials when I am running a Jenkinsjob
taking this as an example https://github.com/PaulMaddox/amazon-eks-kubectl
$ docker run -v ~/.aws:/home/kubectl/.aws -e CLUSTER=demo maddox/kubectl get services
The above works on my laptop , but I want to pass aws credentials on the file.I have aws configured in my Jenkins-->credentials .I also have a bitbucket repo which contains a Jenkinsfile and a yam file for "service" and "deployment"
the way I do it now is run the kubectl create -f filename.yaml and it deploys to eks .. just want to do the same thing but automate it with a Jenkinsfile , suggestions on how to do it either with kubectl or with helm

Answer 1

In your Jenkinsfile you should include similar section:
stage('Deploy on Dev') {
node('master'){
withEnv(["KUBECONFIG=${JENKINS_HOME}/.kube/dev-config","IMAGE=${ACCOUNT}.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/${ECR_REPO_NAME}:${IMAGETAG}"]){
sh "sed -i 's|IMAGE|${IMAGE}|g' k8s/deployment.yaml"
sh "sed -i 's|ACCOUNT|${ACCOUNT}|g' k8s/service.yaml"
sh "sed -i 's|ENVIRONMENT|dev|g' k8s/*.yaml"
sh "sed -i 's|BUILD_NUMBER|01|g' k8s/*.yaml"
sh "kubectl apply -f k8s"
DEPLOYMENT = sh (
script: 'cat k8s/deployment.yaml | yq -r .metadata.name',
returnStdout: true
).trim()
echo "Creating k8s resources..."
sleep 180
DESIRED= sh (
script: "kubectl get deployment/$DEPLOYMENT | awk '{print \$2}' | grep -v DESIRED",
returnStdout: true
).trim()
CURRENT= sh (
script: "kubectl get deployment/$DEPLOYMENT | awk '{print \$3}' | grep -v CURRENT",
returnStdout: true
).trim()
if (DESIRED.equals(CURRENT)) {
currentBuild.result = "SUCCESS"
return
} else {
error("Deployment Unsuccessful.")
currentBuild.result = "FAILURE"
return
}
}
}
}
}
which will be responsible for automating deployment proccess.
I hope it helps.
