Cloud deployment

Interacting with a major cloud provider such as Amazon AWS may have become a much needed task that's part of your delivery process. GitLab is making this process less painful by providing Docker images that come with the needed libraries and tools pre-installed. By referencing them in your CI/CD pipeline, you'll be able to interact with your chosen cloud provider more easily.

AWS

Introduced in GitLab 12.6.

GitLab's AWS Docker image provides the AWS Command Line Interface, which enables you to run aws commands. As part of your deployment strategy, you can run aws commands directly from .gitlab-ci.yml by specifying GitLab's AWS Docker image.

Some credentials are required to be able to run aws commands:

  1. Sign up for an AWS account if you don't have one yet.

  2. Log in onto the console and create a new IAM user.

  3. Select your newly created user to access its details. Navigate to Security credentials > Create a new access key.

    NOTE: Note: A new Access key ID and Secret access key pair will be generated. Please take a note of them right away.

  4. In your GitLab project, go to Settings > CI / CD. Set the Access key ID and Secret access key as environment variables, using the following variable names:

    Env. variable name Value
    AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID Your "Access key ID"
    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY Your "Secret access key"

  5. You can now use aws commands in the .gitlab-ci.yml file of this project:

    deploy:
  stage: deploy
  image: registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cloud-deploy:latest
  script:
    - aws s3 ...
    - aws create-deployment ...
