help Jenkins AWS Steps Plugin FAQ

What does the Jenkins Pipeline: AWS Steps plugin let a Jenkinsfile do?

It adds Pipeline steps that call AWS services directly from a Jenkinsfile. Examples include s3Upload for Amazon S3, cfnUpdate for CloudFormation stacks, and withAWS for supplying credentials and a region to nested steps.

How does withAWS authenticate a Jenkins pipeline?

withAWS can use Jenkins-managed AWS credentials or assume an IAM role for the enclosed pipeline steps. The Jenkins controller or agent still needs network access to the relevant AWS API endpoints.

Can the plugin deploy a CloudFormation stack?

Yes. The cfnUpdate step can create or update a stack from a CloudFormation template, while cfnValidate can check the template before deployment.

Is Pipeline: AWS Steps the same as the AWS CLI plugin?

No. Pipeline: AWS Steps exposes service-specific Jenkins steps, whereas an AWS CLI installation lets a pipeline run commands such as aws s3 cp through a shell step.
