AWS CLI version 2

What it does

This action executes AWS CLI ver.2 commands. The AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a unified tool to manage AWS services. With just one tool to download and configure, it’s possible to control multiple AWS services from the command line and automate them through scripts.

How it works

The action launches a container with preinstalled AWS CLI version 2, which is Ubuntu 18.04. Once launched, it’s already authorized against the AWS account and region provided in the action settings. The container has mounted the pipeline filesystem which contains pulled repository.

• The action is marked as failed when a command exits with non-zero value
• If commands change the variable's value, which is marked as settable on the Environment variables tab, the new value will be passed to the next actions
• Commands are run in the working directory by default, which is a mounted pipelines filesystem
• The result of the action execution (Artifacts) is saved to the pipeline filesystem and can be deployed by another action
