Terraform module to create AWS CodeBuild project for AWS CodePipeline.

Tip

👽 Use Atmos with Terraform

Cloud Posse uses atmos to easily orchestrate multiple environments using Terraform.
Works with Github Actions, Atlantis, or Spacelift.

Watch demo of using Atmos with Terraform

Example of running atmos to manage infrastructure from our Quick Start tutorial.

Usage

Include this module in your existing terraform code:

module "build" {
  source = "cloudposse/codebuild/aws"
  # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
  # version     = "x.x.x"
  namespace           = "eg"
  stage               = "staging"
  name                = "app"

  # https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/build-env-ref-available.html
  build_image         = "aws/codebuild/standard:2.0"
  build_compute_type  = "BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL"
  build_timeout       = 60

  # These attributes are optional, used as ENV variables when building Docker images and pushing them to ECR
  # For more info:
  # http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/sample-docker.html
  # https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/codebuild_project.html

  privileged_mode     = true
  aws_region          = "us-east-1"
  aws_account_id      = "xxxxxxxxxx"
  image_repo_name     = "ecr-repo-name"
  image_tag           = "latest"

  # Optional extra environment variables
  environment_variables = [
    {
      name  = "JENKINS_URL"
      value = "https://jenkins.example.com"
      type  = "PLAINTEXT"
    },
    {
      name  = "COMPANY_NAME"
      value = "Amazon"
      type  = "PLAINTEXT"
    },
    {
      name = "TIME_ZONE"
      value = "Pacific/Auckland"
      type  = "PLAINTEXT"
    }
  ]
}

Important

In Cloud Posse's examples, we avoid pinning modules to specific versions to prevent discrepancies between the documentation and the latest released versions. However, for your own projects, we strongly advise pinning each module to the exact version you're using. This practice ensures the stability of your infrastructure. Additionally, we recommend implementing a systematic approach for updating versions to avoid unexpected changes.
