• Create a build project (console)
• Create a build project (AWS CLI)
• Create a build project (AWS SDKs)
• Create a build project (AWS CloudFormation)

Prerequisites

Before creating a build project, answer the questions in Plan a build.

Create a build project (console)

Open the AWS CodeBuild console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/codesuite/codebuild/home.

If a CodeBuild information page is displayed, choose Create build project. Otherwise, on the navigation pane, expand Build, choose Build projects, and then choose Create build project.

Choose Create build project.

Fill in the following sections. Once complete, choose Create build project at the bottom of the page.

Project configuration

Project name

Enter a name for this build project. Build project names must be unique across each AWS account.

Description

Enter an optional description of the build project to help other users understand what this project is used for.

Build badge

(Optional) Select Enable build badge to make your project's build status visible and embeddable. For more information, see Build badges sample.

Note

Build badge does not apply if your source provider is Amazon S3.

Enable concurrent build limit

(Optional) If you want to limit the number of concurrent builds for this project, perform the following steps:

1. Select Restrict number of concurrent builds this project can start.
2. In Concurrent build limit, enter the maximum number of concurrent builds that are allowed for this project. This limit cannot be greater than the concurrent build limit set for the account. If you try to enter a number greater than the account limit, an error message is displayed.

New builds are only started if the current number of builds is less than or equal to this limit. If the current build count meets this limit, new builds are throttled and are not run.

Additional information

(Optional) For Tags, enter the name and value of any tags that you want supporting AWS services to use. Use Add row to add a tag. You can add up to 50 tags.

Environment

Provisioning model

Do one of the following:

• To use on-demand fleets managed by AWS CodeBuild, choose On-demand. With on-demand fleets, CodeBuild provides compute for your builds. The machines are destroyed when the build finishes. On-demand fleets are fully managed, and includes automatic scaling capabilities to handle spikes in demand.
• To use reserved capacity fleets managed by AWS CodeBuild, choose Reserved capacity, and then select a Fleet name. With reserved capacity fleets, you configure a set of dedicated instances for your build environment. These machines remain idle, ready to process builds or tests immediately and reduces build durations. With reserved capacity fleets, your machines are always running and will continue to incur costs as long they're provisioned.

For information, see Run builds on reserved capacity fleets.

Environment image

Do one of the following:

• To use a Docker image managed by AWS CodeBuild, choose Managed image, and then make selections fromOperating system, Runtime(s), Image, andImage version. Make a selection from Environment type if it is available.
• To use another Docker image, choose Custom image. For Environment type, choose ARM, Linux, Linux GPU, or Windows. If you choose Other registry, for External registry URL, enter the name and tag of the Docker image in Docker Hub, using the format`docker repository`/`docker image name`. If you choose Amazon ECR, use Amazon ECR repository and Amazon ECR image to choose the Docker image in your AWS account.
• To use a private Docker image, choose Custom image. For Environment type, chooseARM, Linux, Linux GPU, or Windows. For Image registry, chooseOther registry, and then enter the ARN of the credentials for your private Docker image. The credentials must be created by Secrets Manager. For more information, see What Is AWS Secrets Manager? in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide.

Note

CodeBuild overrides the ENTRYPOINT for custom Docker images.

Compute

Do one of the following:

• To use EC2 compute, choose EC2. EC2 compute offers optimized flexibility during action runs.
• To use Lambda compute, choose Lambda. Lambda compute offers optimized start-up speeds for your builds. Lambda supports faster builds due to a lower start-up latency. Lambda also automatically scales, so builds aren’t waiting in queue to run. For information, see Run builds on AWS Lambda compute.

Service role

Do one of the following:

• If you do not have a CodeBuild service role, choose New service role. In Role name, enter a name for the new role.
• If you have a CodeBuild service role, choose Existing service role. In Role ARN, choose the service role.

Note

When you use the console to create a build project, you can create a CodeBuild service role at the same time. By default, the role works with that build project only. If you use the console to associate this service role with another build project, the role is updated to work with the other build project. A service role can work with up to 10 build projects.

Additional configuration

Auto-retry limit

Specify the number of additional automatic retries after a failed build. For example, if the auto-retry limit is set to 2, CodeBuild will call the RetryBuild API to automatically retry your build for up to 2 additional times.

Timeout

Specify a value, between 5 minutes and 36 hours, after which CodeBuild stops the build if it is not complete. Ifhours and minutes are left blank, the default value of 60 minutes is used.

Privileged

(Optional) Select Enable this flag if you want to build Docker images or want your builds to get elevated privileges only if you plan to use this build project to build Docker images. Otherwise, all associated builds that attempt to interact with the Docker daemon fail. You must also start the Docker daemon so that your builds can interact with it. One way to do this is to initialize the Docker daemon in theinstall phase of your build spec by running the following build commands. Do not run these commands if you chose a build environment image provided by CodeBuild with Docker support.

Note

By default, Docker daemon is enabled for non-VPC builds. If you would like to use Docker containers for VPC builds, see Runtime Privilege and Linux Capabilities on the Docker Docs website and enable privileged mode. Also, Windows does not support privileged mode.

- nohup /usr/local/bin/dockerd --host=unix:///var/run/docker.sock --host=tcp://127.0.0.1:2375 --storage-driver=overlay2 &
- timeout 15 sh -c "until docker info; do echo .; sleep 1; done"

VPC

If you want CodeBuild to work with your VPC:

• For VPC, choose the VPC ID that CodeBuild uses.
• For VPC Subnets, choose the subnets that include resources that CodeBuild uses.
• For VPC Security groups, choose the security groups that CodeBuild uses to allow access to resources in the VPCs.

For more information, see Use AWS CodeBuild with Amazon Virtual Private Cloud.

Compute

Choose one of the available options.

Registry credential

Specify a registry credential when the project is configured with a non-private registry image.

Note

This credential will only be utilized if the images are overridden with those from private registries.

Environment variables

Enter the name and value, and then choose the type of each environment variable for builds to use.

Note

CodeBuild sets the environment variable for your AWS Region automatically. You must set the following environment variables if you haven't added them to your buildspec.yml:

• AWS_ACCOUNT_ID
• IMAGE_REPO_NAME
• IMAGE_TAG

Console and AWS CLI users can see environment variables. If you have no concerns about the visibility of your environment variable, set the Name andValue fields, and then setType toPlaintext.

We recommend that you store an environment variable with a sensitive value, such as an AWS access key ID, an AWS secret access key, or a password as a parameter in Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Parameter Store or AWS Secrets Manager.

If you use Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Parameter Store, then forType, chooseParameter. ForName, enter an identifier for CodeBuild to reference. For Value, enter the parameter's name as stored in Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Parameter Store. Using a parameter named /CodeBuild/dockerLoginPassword as an example, for Type, chooseParameter. ForName, enterLOGIN_PASSWORD. For Value, enter /CodeBuild/dockerLoginPassword.

Important

If you use Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Parameter Store, we recommend that you store parameters with parameter names that start with /CodeBuild/ (for example, /CodeBuild/dockerLoginPassword). You can use the CodeBuild console to create a parameter in Amazon EC2 Systems Manager. Choose Create parameter, and then follow the instructions in the dialog box. (In that dialog box, for KMS key, you can specify the ARN of an AWS KMS key in your account. Amazon EC2 Systems Manager uses this key to encrypt the parameter's value during storage and decrypt it during retrieval.) If you use the CodeBuild console to create a parameter, the console starts the parameter name with /CodeBuild/ as it is being stored. For more information, see Systems Manager Parameter Store and Systems Manager Parameter Store Console Walkthrough in the_Amazon EC2 Systems Manager User Guide_.

If your build project refers to parameters stored in Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Parameter Store, the build project's service role must allow thessm:GetParameters action. If you chose New service role earlier, CodeBuild includes this action in the default service role for your build project. However, if you chose Existing service role, you must include this action to your service role separately.

If your build project refers to parameters stored in Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Parameter Store with parameter names that do not start with /CodeBuild/, and you chose New service role, you must update that service role to allow access to parameter names that do not start with/CodeBuild/. This is because that service role allows access only to parameter names that start with/CodeBuild/.

If you choose New service role, the service role includes permission to decrypt all parameters under the/CodeBuild/ namespace in the Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Parameter Store.

Environment variables you set replace existing environment variables. For example, if the Docker image already contains an environment variable namedMY_VAR with a value of my_value, and you set an environment variable named MY_VAR with a value ofother_value, then my_value is replaced byother_value. Similarly, if the Docker image already contains an environment variable named PATH with a value of/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin, and you set an environment variable named PATH with a value of$PATH:/usr/share/ant/bin, then/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin is replaced by the literal value $PATH:/usr/share/ant/bin.

Do not set any environment variable with a name that begins withCODEBUILD_. This prefix is reserved for internal use.

If an environment variable with the same name is defined in multiple places, the value is determined as follows:

• The value in the start build operation call takes highest precedence.
• The value in the build project definition takes next precedence.
• The value in the buildspec declaration takes lowest precedence.

If you use Secrets Manager, for Type, chooseSecrets Manager. ForName, enter an identifier for CodeBuild to reference. For Value, enter areference-key using the pattern`secret-id`:`json-key`:`version-stage`:`version-id`. For information, see Secrets Manager reference-key in the buildspec file.

Important

If you use Secrets Manager, we recommend that you store secrets with names that start with /CodeBuild/ (for example,/CodeBuild/dockerLoginPassword). For more information, seeWhat Is AWS Secrets Manager? in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide.

If your build project refers to secrets stored in Secrets Manager, the build project's service role must allow thesecretsmanager:GetSecretValue action. If you choseNew service role earlier, CodeBuild includes this action in the default service role for your build project. However, if you chose Existing service role, you must include this action to your service role separately.

If your build project refers to secrets stored in Secrets Manager with secret names that do not start with /CodeBuild/, and you chose New service role, you must update the service role to allow access to secret names that do not start with /CodeBuild/. This is because the service role allows access only to secret names that start with /CodeBuild/.

If you choose New service role, the service role includes permission to decrypt all secrets under the/CodeBuild/ namespace in the Secrets Manager.

Buildspec

Build specifications

Do one of the following:

• If your source code includes a buildspec file, chooseUse a buildspec file. By default, CodeBuild looks for a file named buildspec.yml in the source code root directory. If your buildspec file uses a different name or location, enter its path from the source root inBuildspec name (for example,buildspec-two.yml orconfiguration/buildspec.yml. If the buildspec file is in an S3 bucket, it must be in the same AWS Region as your build project. Specify the buildspec file using its ARN (for example,arn:aws:s3:::`<my-codebuild-sample2>`/buildspec.yml).
• If your source code does not include a buildspec file, or if you want to run build commands different from the ones specified for thebuild phase in thebuildspec.yml file in the source code's root directory, choose Insert build commands. For Build commands, enter the commands you want to run in the build phase. For multiple commands, separate each command by && (for example,mvn test && mvn package). To run commands in other phases, or if you have a long list of commands for thebuild phase, add abuildspec.yml file to the source code root directory, add the commands to the file, and then chooseUse the buildspec.yml in the source code root directory.

For more information, see the Buildspec reference.

Batch configuration

You can run a group of builds as a single operation. For more information, see Run builds in batches.

Define batch configuration

Select to allow batch builds in this project.

Batch service role

Provides the service role for batch builds.

Choose one of the following:

• If you do not have a batch service role, choose New service role. In Service role, enter a name for the new role.
• If you have a batch service role, choose Existing service role. In Service role, choose the service role.

Batch builds introduce a new security role in the batch configuration. This new role is required as CodeBuild must be able to call the StartBuild, StopBuild, andRetryBuild actions on your behalf to run builds as part of a batch. Customers should use a new role, and not the same role they use in their build, for two reasons:

• Giving the build role StartBuild, StopBuild, and RetryBuild permissions would allow a single build to start more builds via the buildspec.
• CodeBuild batch builds provide restrictions that restrict the number of builds and compute types that can be used for the builds in the batch. If the build role has these permissions, it is possible the builds themselves could bypass these restrictions.

Allowed compute types for batch

Select the compute types allowed for the batch. Select all that apply.

Allowed fleets for batch

Select the fleets allowed for the batch. Select all that apply.

Maximum builds allowed in batch

Enter the maximum number of builds allowed in the batch. If a batch exceeds this limit, the batch will fail.

Batch timeout

Enter the maximum amount of time for the batch build to complete.

Combine artifacts

Select Combine all artifacts from batch into a single location to have all of the artifacts from the batch combined into a single location.

Batch report mode

Select the desired build status report mode for batch builds.

Note

This field is only available when the project source is Bitbucket, GitHub, or GitHub Enterprise, and Report build statuses to source provider when your builds start and finish is selected under Source.

Aggregated builds

Select to have the statuses for all builds in the batch combined into a single status report.

Individual builds

Select to have the build statuses for all builds in the batch reported separately.

Artifacts

Type

Do one of the following:

• If you do not want to create any build output artifacts, chooseNo artifacts. You might want to do this if you're only running build tests or you want to push a Docker image to an Amazon ECR repository.
• To store the build output in an S3 bucket, chooseAmazon S3, and then do the following:
  • If you want to use your project name for the build output ZIP file or folder, leave Name blank. Otherwise, enter the name. (If you want to output a ZIP file, and you want the ZIP file to have a file extension, be sure to include it after the ZIP file name.)
  • Select Enable semantic versioning if you want a name specified in the buildspec file to override any name that is specified in the console. The name in a buildspec file is calculated at build time and uses the Shell command language. For example, you can append a date and time to your artifact name so that it is always unique. Unique artifact names prevent artifacts from being overwritten. For more information, see Buildspec syntax.
  • For Bucket name, choose the name of the output bucket.
  • If you chose Insert build commands earlier in this procedure, then for Output files, enter the locations of the files from the build that you want to put into the build output ZIP file or folder. For multiple locations, separate each location with a comma (for example, appspec.yml, target/my-app.jar). For more information, see the description of files in Buildspec syntax.
  • If you do not want your build artifacts encrypted, selectRemove artifacts encryption.

For each secondary set of artifacts you want:

1. For Artifact identifier, enter a value that is fewer than 128 characters and contains only alphanumeric characters and underscores.
2. Choose Add artifact.
3. Follow the previous steps to configure your secondary artifacts.
4. Choose Save artifact.

Additional configuration

Encryption key

(Optional) Do one of the following:

• To use the AWS managed key for Amazon S3 in your account to encrypt the build output artifacts, leave Encryption key blank. This is the default.
• To use a customer managed key to encrypt the build output artifacts, in Encryption key, enter the ARN of the KMS key. Use the formatarn:aws:kms:`region-ID`:`account-ID`:key/`key-ID`.

Cache type

For Cache type, choose one of the following:

• If you do not want to use a cache, choose No cache.
• If you want to use an Amazon S3 cache, choose Amazon S3, and then do the following:
  • For Bucket, choose the name of the S3 bucket where the cache is stored.
  • (Optional) For Cache path prefix, enter an Amazon S3 path prefix. The Cache path prefix value is similar to a directory name. It makes it possible for you to store the cache under the same directory in a bucket.

  Important

  Do not append a trailing slash (/) to the end of the path prefix.

• If you want to use a local cache, choose Local, and then choose one or more local cache modes.

Note

Docker layer cache mode is available for Linux only. If you choose it, your project must run in privileged mode.

Using a cache saves considerable build time because reusable pieces of the build environment are stored in the cache and used across builds. For information about specifying a cache in the buildspec file, see Buildspec syntax. For more information about caching, see Cache builds to improve performance.

Logs

Choose the logs you want to create. You can create Amazon CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3 logs, or both.

CloudWatch

If you want Amazon CloudWatch Logs logs:

CloudWatch logs

Select CloudWatch logs.

Group name

Enter the name of your Amazon CloudWatch Logs log group.

Stream name

Enter your Amazon CloudWatch Logs log stream name.

S3

If you want Amazon S3 logs:

S3 logs

Select S3 logs.

Bucket

Choose the name of the S3 bucket for your logs.

Path prefix

Enter the prefix for your logs.

Disable S3 log encryption

Select if you do not want your S3 logs encrypted.

Create a build project (AWS CLI)

For more information about using the AWS CLI with CodeBuild, see the Command line reference.

To create a CodeBuild build project using the AWS CLI, you create a JSON-formatted Project structure, fill in the structure, and call the create-project command to create the project.

Create the JSON file

Create a skeleton JSON file with the create-project command, using the--generate-cli-skeleton option:

aws codebuild create-project --generate-cli-skeleton > <json-file>

This creates a JSON file with the path and file name specified by<json-file>.

Fill in the JSON file

Modify the JSON data as follows and save your results.

Replace the following:

name

Required. The name for this build project. This name must be unique across all of the build projects in your AWS account.

description

Optional. The description for this build project.

source

Required. A ProjectSource object that contains information about this build project's source code settings. After you add a source object, you can add up to 12 more sources using the secondarySources. These settings include the following:

source/type

Required. The type of repository that contains the source code to build. Valid values include:

• CODECOMMIT
• CODEPIPELINE
• GITHUB
• GITHUB_ENTERPRISE
• GITLAB
• GITLAB_SELF_MANAGED
• BITBUCKET
• S3
• NO_SOURCE

If you use NO_SOURCE, the buildspec cannot be a file because the project does not have a source. Instead, you must use thebuildspec attribute to specify a YAML-formatted string for your buildspec. For more information, see Create a build project without a source.

source/location

Required unless you set <source-type> toCODEPIPELINE. The location of the source code for the specified repository type.

• For CodeCommit, the HTTPS clone URL to the repository that contains the source code and the buildspec file (for example,https://git-codecommit.`<region-id>`.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/`<repo-name>`).
• For Amazon S3, the build input bucket name, followed by the path and name of the ZIP file that contains the source code and the buildspec. For example:
  • For a ZIP file located at the root of the input bucket:`<bucket-name>`/`<object-name>`.zip.
  • For a ZIP file located in a subfolder in the input bucket:`<bucket-name>`/`<subfoler-path>`/`<object-name>`.zip.
• For GitHub, the HTTPS clone URL to the repository that contains the source code and the buildspec file. The URL must contain github.com. You must connect your AWS account to your GitHub account. To do this, use the CodeBuild console to create a build project.
  • Choose Authorize application. (After you have connected to your GitHub account, you do not need to finish creating the build project. You can close the CodeBuild console.)
• For GitHub Enterprise Server, the HTTP or HTTPS clone URL to the repository that contains the source code and the buildspec file. You must also connect your AWS account to your GitHub Enterprise Server account. To do this, use the CodeBuild console to create a build project.
  1. Create a personal access token in GitHub Enterprise Server.
  2. Copy this token to your clipboard so you can use it when you create your CodeBuild project. For more information, see Creating a personal access token for the command line on the GitHub Help website.
  3. When you use the console to create your CodeBuild project, in Source, for Source provider, choose GitHub Enterprise.
  4. For Personal Access Token, paste the token that was copied to your clipboard. ChooseSave Token. Your CodeBuild account is now connected to your GitHub Enterprise Server account.
• For GitLab and GitLab self-managed, the HTTPS clone URL to the repository that contains the source code and the buildspec file. Note that if you use GitLab, the URL must contain gitlab.com. If you use GitLab self-managed, the URL does not need to contain gitlab.com. You must connect your AWS account to your GitLab or GitLab self-managed account. To do this, use the CodeBuild console to create a build project.
  • In the Developer Tools navigation pane, chooseSettings,Connections, and thenCreate connection. On this page, create either a GitLab or GitLab self-managed connection, and then choose Connect to GitLab.
• For Bitbucket, the HTTPS clone URL to the repository that contains the source code and the buildspec file. The URL must contain bitbucket.org. You must also connect your AWS account to your Bitbucket account. To do this, use the CodeBuild console to create a build project.
  1. When you use the console to connect (or reconnect) with Bitbucket, on the Bitbucket Confirm access to your account page, chooseGrant access. (After you have connected to your Bitbucket account, you do not need to finish creating the build project. You can close the CodeBuild console.)
• For AWS CodePipeline, do not specify a location value for source. CodePipeline ignores this value because when you create a pipeline in CodePipeline, you specify the source code location in the Source stage of the pipeline.

source/gitCloneDepth

Optional. The depth of history to download. Minimum value is 0. If this value is 0, greater than 25, or not provided, then the full history is downloaded with each build project. If your source type is Amazon S3, this value is not supported.

source/buildspec

Optional. The build specification definition or file to use. If this value is not provided or is set to an empty string, the source code must contain a buildspec.yml file in its root directory. If this value is set, it can be either an inline buildspec definition, the path to an alternate buildspec file relative to the root directory of your primary source, or the path to an S3 bucket. The bucket must be in the same AWS Region as the build project. Specify the buildspec file using its ARN (for example,arn:aws:s3:::`<my-codebuild-sample2>`/buildspec.yml). For more information, see Buildspec file name and storage location.

source/auth

Contains information about the authorization settings for CodeBuild to access the source code to be built.

source/auth/type

Required. The authorization type to use. Valid values are:

• OAUTH
• CODECONNECTIONS
• SECRETS_MANAGER

source/auth/resource

Optional. The resource value that applies to the specified authorization type. This can be the Secrets Manager ARN or the CodeConnections ARN.

source/reportBuildStatus

Specifies whether to send your source provider the status of a build's start and completion. If you set this with a source provider other than GitHub, GitHub Enterprise Server, or Bitbucket, aninvalidInputException is thrown.

To be able to report the build status to the source provider, the user associated with the source provider must have write access to the repo. If the user does not have write access, the build status cannot be updated. For more information, see Source provider access.

source/buildStatusConfig

Contains information that defines how the CodeBuild build project reports the build status to the source provider. This option is only used when the source type is GITHUB, GITHUB_ENTERPRISE, or BITBUCKET.

source/buildStatusConfig/context

For Bitbucket sources, this parameter is used for thename parameter in the Bitbucket commit status. For GitHub sources, this parameter is used for thecontext parameter in the GitHub commit status.

For example, you can have the context contain the build number and the webhook trigger using the CodeBuild environment variables:

AWS CodeBuild sample-project Build #$CODEBUILD_BUILD_NUMBER - $CODEBUILD_WEBHOOK_TRIGGER

This results in the context appearing like this for build #24 triggered by a webhook pull request event:

AWS CodeBuild sample-project Build #24 - pr/8

source/buildStatusConfig/targetUrl

For Bitbucket sources, this parameter is used for theurl parameter in the Bitbucket commit status. For GitHub sources, this parameter is used for thetarget_url parameter in the GitHub commit status.

For example, you can set the targetUrl tohttps://aws.amazon.com/codebuild/`<path to build>` and the commit status will link to this URL.

You can also include CodeBuild environment variables in thetargetUrl to add additional information to the URL. For example, to add the build region to the URL, set the targetUrl to:

"targetUrl": "https://aws.amazon.com/codebuild/<path to build>?region=$AWS_REGION"

If the build region isus-east-2, this will expand to:

https://aws.amazon.com/codebuild/<path to build>?region=us-east-2

source/gitSubmodulesConfig

Optional. Information about the Git submodules configuration. Used with CodeCommit, GitHub, GitHub Enterprise Server, and Bitbucket only.

source/gitSubmodulesConfig/fetchSubmodules

Set fetchSubmodules to true if you want to include the Git submodules in your repository. Git submodules that are included must be configured as HTTPS.

source/InsecureSsl

Optional. Used with GitHub Enterprise Server only. Set this value totrue to ignore TLS warnings while connecting to your GitHub Enterprise Server project repository. The default value isfalse. InsecureSsl should be used for testing purposes only. It should not be used in a production environment.

source/sourceIdentifier

A user-defined identifier for the project source. Optional for the primary source. Required for secondary sources.

secondarySources

Optional. An array of ProjectSource objects that contain information about the secondary sources for a build project. You can add up to 12 secondary sources. The secondarySources objects use the same properties used by the source object. In a secondary source object, thesourceIdentifier is required.

secondarySourceVersions

Optional. An array of ProjectSourceVersion objects. If secondarySourceVersions is specified at the build level, then they take precedence over this.

sourceVersion

Optional. The version of the build input to be built for this project. If not specified, the latest version is used. If specified, it must be one of:

• For CodeCommit, the commit ID, branch, or Git tag to use.
• For GitHub, the commit ID, pull request ID, branch name, or tag name that corresponds to the version of the source code you want to build. If a pull request ID is specified, it must use the formatpr/pull-request-ID (for example pr/25). If a branch name is specified, the branch's HEAD commit ID is used. If not specified, the default branch's HEAD commit ID is used.
• For GitLab, the commit ID, pull request ID, branch name, tag name, or reference and a commit ID. For more information, see Source version sample with AWS CodeBuild.
• For Bitbucket, the commit ID, branch name, or tag name that corresponds to the version of the source code you want to build. If a branch name is specified, the branch's HEAD commit ID is used. If not specified, the default branch's HEAD commit ID is used.
• For Amazon S3, the version ID of the object that represents the build input ZIP file to use.

If sourceVersion is specified at the build level, then that version takes precedence over this sourceVersion (at the project level). For more information, see Source version sample with AWS CodeBuild.

artifacts

Required. A ProjectArtifacts object that contains information about this build project's output artifact settings. After you add an artifacts object, you can add up to 12 more artifacts using the secondaryArtifacts. These settings include the following:

artifacts/type

Required. The type of build output artifact. Valid values are:

• CODEPIPELINE
• NO_ARTIFACTS
• S3

artifacts/location

Only used with the S3 artifact type. Not used for other artifact types.

The name of the output bucket you created or identified in the prerequisites.

artifacts/path

Only used with the S3 artifact type. Not used for other artifact types.

The path in of the output bucket to place ZIP file or folder. If you do not specify a value for path, CodeBuild usesnamespaceType (if specified) and name to determine the path and name of the build output ZIP file or folder. For example, if you specify MyPath for path andMyArtifact.zip for name, the path and name would be MyPath/MyArtifact.zip.

artifacts/namespaceType

Only used with the S3 artifact type. Not used for other artifact types.

The namespace of the build output ZIP file or folder. Valid values include BUILD_ID and NONE. UseBUILD_ID to insert the build ID into the path of the build output ZIP file or folder. Otherwise, use NONE. If you do not specify a value for namespaceType, CodeBuild usespath (if specified) and name to determine the path and name of the build output ZIP file or folder. For example, if you specify MyPath for path,BUILD_ID for namespaceType, andMyArtifact.zip for name, the path and name would beMyPath/`build-ID`/MyArtifact.zip.

artifacts/name

Only used with the S3 artifact type. Not used for other artifact types.

The name of the build output ZIP file or folder inside oflocation. For example, if you specifyMyPath for path andMyArtifact.zip for name, the path and name would be MyPath/MyArtifact.zip.

artifacts/overrideArtifactName

Only used with the S3 artifact type. Not used for other artifact types.

Optional. If set to true, the name specified in theartifacts block of the buildspec file overridesname. For more information, see Build specification reference for CodeBuild.

artifacts/packaging

Only used with the S3 artifact type. Not used for other artifact types.

Optional. Specifies how to package the artifacts. Allowed values are:

NONE

Create a folder that contains the build artifacts. This is the default value.

ZIP

Create a ZIP file that contains the build artifacts.

secondaryArtifacts

Optional. An array of ProjectArtifacts objects that contain information about the secondary artifacts settings for a build project. You can add up to 12 secondary artifacts. The secondaryArtifacts uses many of the same settings used by the artifacts object.

cache

Required. A ProjectCache object that contains information about this build project's cache settings. For more information, see Cache builds.

environment

Required. A ProjectEnvironment object that contains information about this project's build environment settings. These settings include:

environment/type

Required. The type of build environment. For more information, seetype in the CodeBuild API Reference.

environment/image

Required. The Docker image identifier used by this build environment. Typically, this identifier is expressed asimage-name:tag. For example, in the Docker repository that CodeBuild uses to manage its Docker images, this could be aws/codebuild/standard:5.0. In Docker Hub, maven:3.3.9-jdk-8. In Amazon ECR,`account-id`.dkr.ecr.`region-id`.amazonaws.com/`your-Amazon-ECR-repo-name`:`tag`. For more information, see Docker images provided by CodeBuild.

environment/computeType

Required. Specifies the compute resources used by this build environment. For more information, see computeType in the CodeBuild API Reference.

environment/certificate

Optional. The ARN of the Amazon S3 bucket, path prefix, and object key that contains the PEM-encoded certificate. The object key can be either just the .pem file or a .zip file containing the PEM-encoded certificate. For example, if your Amazon S3 bucket name is`<my-bucket>`, your path prefix is `<cert>`, and your object key name is`<certificate.pem>`, then acceptable formats for certificate are`<my-bucket/cert/certificate.pem>` orarn:aws:s3:::`<my-bucket/cert/certificate.pem>`.

environment/environmentVariables

Optional. An array of EnvironmentVariable objects that contains the environment variables you want to specify for this build environment. Each environment variable is expressed as an object that contains aname, value, and type ofname, value, and type.

Console and AWS CLI users can see all environment variables. If you have no concerns about the visibility of your environment variable, setname and value, and set type to PLAINTEXT.

We recommend you store environment variables with sensitive values, such as an AWS access key ID, an AWS secret access key, or a password, as a parameter in Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Parameter Store or AWS Secrets Manager. Forname, for that stored parameter, set an identifier for CodeBuild to reference.

If you use Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Parameter Store, for value, set the parameter's name as stored in the Parameter Store. Set type to PARAMETER_STORE. Using a parameter named/CodeBuild/dockerLoginPassword as an example, setname to LOGIN_PASSWORD. Setvalue to /CodeBuild/dockerLoginPassword. Set type to PARAMETER_STORE.

Important

If you use Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Parameter Store, we recommend that you store parameters with parameter names that start with /CodeBuild/ (for example, /CodeBuild/dockerLoginPassword). You can use the CodeBuild console to create a parameter in Amazon EC2 Systems Manager. Choose Create parameter, and then follow the instructions in the dialog box. (In that dialog box, for KMS key, you can specify the ARN of an AWS KMS key in your account. Amazon EC2 Systems Manager uses this key to encrypt the parameter's value during storage and decrypt it during retrieval.) If you use the CodeBuild console to create a parameter, the console starts the parameter name with /CodeBuild/ as it is being stored. For more information, see Systems Manager Parameter Store and Systems Manager Parameter Store Console Walkthrough in the_Amazon EC2 Systems Manager User Guide_.

If your build project refers to parameters stored in Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Parameter Store, the build project's service role must allow thessm:GetParameters action. If you chose New service role earlier, CodeBuild includes this action in the default service role for your build project. However, if you chose Existing service role, you must include this action to your service role separately.

If your build project refers to parameters stored in Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Parameter Store with parameter names that do not start with /CodeBuild/, and you chose New service role, you must update that service role to allow access to parameter names that do not start with/CodeBuild/. This is because that service role allows access only to parameter names that start with/CodeBuild/.

If you choose New service role, the service role includes permission to decrypt all parameters under the/CodeBuild/ namespace in the Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Parameter Store.

Environment variables you set replace existing environment variables. For example, if the Docker image already contains an environment variable namedMY_VAR with a value of my_value, and you set an environment variable named MY_VAR with a value ofother_value, then my_value is replaced byother_value. Similarly, if the Docker image already contains an environment variable named PATH with a value of/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin, and you set an environment variable named PATH with a value of$PATH:/usr/share/ant/bin, then/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin is replaced by the literal value $PATH:/usr/share/ant/bin.

Do not set any environment variable with a name that begins withCODEBUILD_. This prefix is reserved for internal use.

If an environment variable with the same name is defined in multiple places, the value is determined as follows:

• The value in the start build operation call takes highest precedence.
• The value in the build project definition takes next precedence.
• The value in the buildspec declaration takes lowest precedence.

If you use Secrets Manager, for value, set the parameter's name as stored in Secrets Manager. Set type toSECRETS_MANAGER. Using a secret named/CodeBuild/dockerLoginPassword as an example, setname to LOGIN_PASSWORD. Setvalue to /CodeBuild/dockerLoginPassword. Set type to SECRETS_MANAGER.

Important

If you use Secrets Manager, we recommend that you store secrets with names that start with /CodeBuild/ (for example,/CodeBuild/dockerLoginPassword). For more information, seeWhat Is AWS Secrets Manager? in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide.

If your build project refers to secrets stored in Secrets Manager, the build project's service role must allow thesecretsmanager:GetSecretValue action. If you choseNew service role earlier, CodeBuild includes this action in the default service role for your build project. However, if you chose Existing service role, you must include this action to your service role separately.

If your build project refers to secrets stored in Secrets Manager with secret names that do not start with /CodeBuild/, and you chose New service role, you must update the service role to allow access to secret names that do not start with /CodeBuild/. This is because the service role allows access only to secret names that start with /CodeBuild/.

If you choose New service role, the service role includes permission to decrypt all secrets under the/CodeBuild/ namespace in the Secrets Manager.

environment/registryCredential

Optional. A RegistryCredential object that specifies the credentials that provide access to a private Docker registry.

environment/registryCredential/credential

Specifies the ARN or name of credentials created using AWS Managed Services. You can use the name of the credentials only if they exist in your current Region.

environment/registryCredential/credentialProvider

The only valid value isSECRETS_MANAGER.

When this is set:

• imagePullCredentials must be set toSERVICE_ROLE.
• The image cannot be a curated image or an Amazon ECR image.

environment/imagePullCredentialsType

Optional. The type of credentials CodeBuild uses to pull images in your build. There are two valid values:

CODEBUILD

CODEBUILD specifies that CodeBuild uses its own credentials. You must edit your Amazon ECR repository policy to trust the CodeBuild service principal.

SERVICE_ROLE

Specifies that CodeBuild uses your build project's service role.

When you use a cross-account or private registry image, you must useSERVICE_ROLE credentials. When you use a CodeBuild curated image, you must use CODEBUILD credentials.

environment/privilegedMode

Set to true only if you plan to use this build project to build Docker images. Otherwise, all associated builds that attempt to interact with the Docker daemon fail. You must also start the Docker daemon so that your builds can interact with it. One way to do this is to initialize the Docker daemon in the install phase of your buildspec file by running the following build commands. Do not run these commands if you specified a build environment image provided by CodeBuild with Docker support.

Note

By default, Docker daemon is enabled for non-VPC builds. If you would like to use Docker containers for VPC builds, see Runtime Privilege and Linux Capabilities on the Docker Docs website and enable privileged mode. Also, Windows does not support privileged mode.

- nohup /usr/local/bin/dockerd --host=unix:///var/run/docker.sock --host=tcp://127.0.0.1:2375 --storage-driver=overlay2 &
- timeout 15 sh -c "until docker info; do echo .; sleep 1; done"

serviceRole

Required. The ARN of the service role CodeBuild uses to interact with services on behalf of the user (for example,arn:aws:iam::`account-id`:role/`role-name`).

autoRetryLimit

Optional. The number of additional automatic retries after a failed build. For example, if the auto-retry limit is set to 2, CodeBuild will call the RetryBuild API to automatically retry your build for up to 2 additional times.

timeoutInMinutes

Optional. The number of minutes, between 5 to 2160 (36 hours), after which CodeBuild stops the build if it is not complete. If not specified, the default of 60 is used. To determine if and when CodeBuild stopped a build due to a timeout, run thebatch-get-builds command. To determine if the build has stopped, look in the output for a buildStatus value ofFAILED. To determine when the build timed out, look in the output for the endTime value associated with a phaseStatus value of TIMED_OUT.

queuedTimeoutInMinutes

Optional. The number of minutes, between 5 to 480 (8 hours), after which CodeBuild stops the build if it is is still queued. If not specified, the default of 60 is used.

encryptionKey

Optional. The alias or ARN of the AWS KMS key used by CodeBuild to encrypt the build output. If you specify an alias, use the formatarn:aws:kms:`region-ID`:`account-ID`:key/`key-ID` or, if an alias exists, use the formatalias/`key-alias`. If not specified, the AWS-managed KMS key for Amazon S3 is used.

tags

Optional. An array of Tag objects that provide the tags you want to associate with this build project. You can specify up to 50 tags. These tags can be used by any AWS service that supports CodeBuild build project tags. Each tag is expressed as an object with a key and avalue.

vpcConfig

Optional. A VpcConfig object that contains information information about the VPC configuration for your project. For more information, see Use AWS CodeBuild with Amazon Virtual Private Cloud.

These properties include:

vpcId

Required. The VPC ID that CodeBuild uses. Run this command to get a list of all VPC IDs in your Region:

aws ec2 describe-vpcs --region <region-ID>

subnets

Required. An array of subnet IDs that include resources used by CodeBuild. Run this command to get these IDs:

aws ec2 describe-subnets --filters "Name=vpc-id,Values=<vpc-id>" --region <region-ID>

securityGroupIds

Required. An array of security group IDs used by CodeBuild to allow access to resources in the VPC. Run this command to get these IDs:

aws ec2 describe-security-groups --filters "Name=vpc-id,Values=<vpc-id>" --<region-ID>

badgeEnabled

Optional. Specifies whether to include build badges with your CodeBuild project. Set to true to enable build badges, or false otherwise. For more information, see Build badges sample with CodeBuild.

logsConfig

A LogsConfig object that contains information about where this build's logs are located.

logsConfig/cloudWatchLogs

A CloudWatchLogsConfig object that contains information about pushing logs to CloudWatch Logs.

logsConfig/s3Logs

An S3LogsConfig object that contains information about pushing logs to Amazon S3.

fileSystemLocations

Optional. An array of ProjectFileSystemsLocation objects that contains informationabout your Amazon EFS configuration.

buildBatchConfig

Optional. The buildBatchConfig object is a ProjectBuildBatchConfig structure that contains the batch build configuration information for the project.

buildBatchConfig/serviceRole

The service role ARN for the batch build project.

buildBatchConfig/combineArtifacts

A Boolean value that specifies whether to combine the build artifacts for the batch build into a single artifact location.

buildBatchConfig/restrictions/maximumBuildsAllowed

buildBatchConfig/restrictions/computeTypesAllowed

An array of strings that specify the compute types that are allowed for the batch build. See Build environment compute types for these values.

buildBatchConfig/restrictions/fleetsAllowed

An array of strings that specify the fleets that are allowed for the batch build. See Run builds on reserved capacity fleets for more information.

buildBatchConfig/timeoutInMinutes

The maximum amount of time, in minutes, that the batch build must be completed in.

buildBatchConfig/batchReportMode

Specifies how build status reports are sent to the source provider for the batch build. Valid values include:

REPORT_AGGREGATED_BATCH

(Default) Aggregate all of the build statuses into a single status report.

REPORT_INDIVIDUAL_BUILDS

Send a separate status report for each individual build.

concurrentBuildLimit

The maximum number of concurrent builds that are allowed for this project.

New builds are only started if the current number of builds is less than or equal to this limit. If the current build count meets this limit, new builds are throttled and are not run.

Create the project

To create the project, run the create-project command again, passing your JSON file:

aws codebuild create-project --cli-input-json file://<json-file>

If successful, the JSON representation of a Project object appears in the console output. See the CreateProject Response Syntax for an example of this data.

Except for the build project name, you can change any of the build project's settings later. For more information, see Change a build project's settings (AWS CLI).

To start running a build, see Run a build (AWS CLI).

If your source code is stored in a GitHub repository, and you want CodeBuild to rebuild the source code every time a code change is pushed to the repository, see Start running builds automatically (AWS CLI).
