Creating Jenkins on AWS
- Jenkins is an open-source automation server that can be deployed on AWS using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).
- To create Jenkins on AWS, you need an AWS account, an Amazon EC2 key pair, and an AWS IAM User with proper permissions.
- Creating a key pair is essential for secure authentication during the Jenkins installation process.
- When creating a security group for your EC2 instance, rules like allowing inbound HTTP access and SSH traffic from your IP address should be added.
- After configuring the key pair and security group, you can launch an Amazon EC2 instance and connect to it as you would with your local machine.
- Installing Jenkins involves updating software, adding Jenkins repository, importing a key file, installing Java, and finally installing Jenkins itself.
- Once Jenkins is installed, you can configure it by accessing it through the browser, entering the initial password, installing suggested plugins, creating an admin user, and configuring Jenkins cloud settings.
- To use EC2 instances as Jenkins agents, set up AWS credentials, define the EC2 key pair's private key, and configure SSH settings in Jenkins.
- Ensure successful setup by testing the connection and saving the configurations in Jenkins.
- With Jenkins configured on AWS, you can now use EC2 instances as Jenkins agents for your automation tasks.
