Creating a Build Project
Explore the process of creating and managing build projects in AWS CodeBuild. Learn to configure project settings, use buildspec.yml files, and execute build commands via AWS CLI. Understand how to start builds, list projects, and manage build artifacts in S3, enabling you to automate your build workflow efficiently.
Overview
A build is a process to convert files and other dependencies into an executable that can be used by an end user. When we use AWS CodeBuild for continuous integration, we need to create a build project which is a combination of the following:
- Our initial project settings, which include our build environment
- The place where we fetch our source code from
- The
buildspec.ymlfile containing the script to configure our build and manage artifacts
Creating a build project
The create-project command is used to create a build project.
Using AWS CLI, we can create a build project. The initial step is to bootstrap a template JSON file that will hold all our configuration details. We can do this by running the below command:
aws codebuild create-project --region us-east-1 --generate-cli-skeleton > file.json
Note: The
regionis set asus-east-1. Therefore, your resources will be created in that region. You can change this ...
