I am novice at Jenkins. My demo project built in github and with AWS codedeploy I can run my project succesfully. If I use AWS codepipeline without Jenkins, whatever changed in github its automatically integrated and run the project. So I want to use Jenkins, if codes have successfully built then it should run. So when I add jenkins in AWS codepipeline and integrated with my jenkins server this process has not run and it just processing in build section. What is the error or it's not integrated with jenkins? So what should I do? Kindly help me.
If your project is simple single html page then no need of using build provider.
If your project is based on maven or gradle then Jenkins will build the job and generate the output artifact file as zip and stored in jenkins workplace. Then these output artifact file is taken as input artifact file for next stage mostly for deployment purpose.
For using jenkins as Build Provider in AWS CodePipeline you should use IAM role for accessing between Jenkins server and AWS CodePipeline.
Purpose of IAM role:
Jenkins server will get input artifact files from the source provider such as AWS S3 bucket, GitHub.
Jenkins server will poll SCM based on Build trigger in your job.
After build successful, Jenkins server will store the output artifact file as zip in jenkins workplace as I mentioned earlier.
These output artifact file is taken as input for next stage. For example, Artefact file should be deployed on AWS CodeDeploy.
Thanks

I have created a CI/CD pipeline with AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild and Bitbucket as a source. I have done this using console, and that worked for me. But now I want to create the same CICD with AWS CLI. I have followed the official guide and I have created CodeBuild project successfully.
My Problem
Now I have tried to create AWS CodePipeline but the json file is very confusing. There is no proper flow and not enough description for fields described in the JSON file. I also googled it but didn't get any related result.
Can someone tell me how to create proper json formatted file to create CodePipeline with Bitbucket as a source?
I am looking to integrate enterprise bitbucket server with aws ci/cd pipeline features.
I have tried creating a project within aws codebuild but do not see any option for bitbucket enterprise .
If this is not possible then what is the long route using api gateway / webhooks etc ?
AWS Codebuild only supports the Bitbucket cloud. To integrate with Bitbucket self hosted solution, you will need to create a API gateway + Lambda. And then add this gateway address as a webhook in the bitbucket repo. The Lambda will then be responsible to process the incoming events from Bitbucket server. There could be 2 routes from here.
One way could be to download the zip for the particular commit and upload it on a S3 bucket. Add S3 as a source trigger for the build project. You lose the ability to run any git specific commands in such a case though as it's just a zip file containing the specific version of files.
Second option could be to pass on the relevant info to codebuild by directly invoking it from Lambda. Passing off details like commit_id, event (pr or push), branch etc as environment variables. Based on this info, run a git clone in codebuild before running other build steps. This way you would have access to git specific commands.
Here is an example workflow from AWS (it is for codepipeline, but you can modify it suitably for codebuild)
I have a repository in bitbucket. now I want to deploy it to my aws EC2 instance using amazon code-deploy.how can I do that? what steps should I follow?
Use AWS code-pipeline to take source code from the bitbucket and If you want build it, you can build using the code-build and then deploy it using the code-deploy.
Follow this link for more details:

I have a React application that I am bundling using Webpack. The app relies on a MongoDB database and a Node/Express server to field the backend of the app (API requests, etc.).
I want to set up continuous integration/deployment (C.I/D.), but am not sure where to start. As my app's GIT repo is with Bitbucket and I have had experience with AWS in the past, it would be good to enable C.I/D. using these. How do I go about this?
You can use Jenkins to build your project from BitBucket.
Make use of AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeDeploy for continuous delivery on AWS.
Jenkins gives you the flexibility to work with any source control system, and has plugins for AWS CodePipeline.
From AWS CodePipeline, you can configure a stage to call a Jenkins build job.
I've been using this system in production for quite some time now, without any issues.
What I'm trying to do is to create a following CI flow with standard AWS tools: run a build of a commit when a Pull Request in Github is created or updated. Or run a build of any branch on my command. Very similar to what Codeship, Travis and many other CI services offer.
Is it possible with CodeBuild + CodePipeline? I noticed that I have to specify exact branch in CodePipeline and, unfortunately, could not find how to integrate Github Pull requests into it. Maybe I overlooked it?
CodeBuild now directly supports building GitHub pull requests (without Lambda intermediate step), if you're looking to simply run a build as part of the PR. For running more steps with CodePipeline as part of a PR, you'll still need to set up some scaffolding as the other answers suggest.

CodePipeline does support basic, fully-managed integrations with both GitHub and CodeBuild, as listed in Product and Service Integrations with AWS CodePipeline. With these integrations, it is possible to use CodeBuild with CodePipeline to run a build of a commit when a commit is pushed to a branch on GitHub. See Use AWS CodePipeline with AWS CodeBuild to Run Builds for details on integrating CodeBuild with CodePipeline as a Build action provider, and see the Four-Stage Pipeline Tutorial for details on integrating Github with CodePipeline as a Source action provider.
Currently, the Pull Request feature in Github is not supported in the official CodePipeline integration, you did not overlook anything. For an interesting AWS-ecosystem open source project (not yet v1.0) that does support GitHub Pull Request integration (though not yet CodePipeline), you might want to check out LambCI.
It looks like this can be done somewhat manually by using Lambda and S3 - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/integrating-git-with-aws-codepipeline/
Webhooks notify a remote service by issuing an HTTP POST when a commit is pushed to the repository. AWS Lambda receives the HTTP POST through Amazon API Gateway, and then downloads a copy of the repository. It places a zipped copy of the repository into a versioned S3 bucket. AWS CodePipeline can then use the zip file in S3 as a source; the pipeline will be triggered whenever the Git repository is updated.
You could try https://www.deploytoproduction.com for Github Pull Request build status integration with AWS CodeBuild. It is free for a single Github repository with a subscription plan available for multiple repositories.
The service doesn't currently integrate with CodePipeline but that is coming soon.
If you wanted to build something yourself, you could make a new integration on GitHub that uses the webhook functionality to trigger a lambda function which in turn triggers your CodeBuild jobs or pushes an artifact to S3 to start a CodePipeline.
