Objective
You have a shell script in a Git repository. The goal of the tutorial is to execute the shell script.
This process will include:
Copy the shell script from a Git repository
Execute the shell script
We will walk through each of the FlexDeploy features that will be created/configured to accomplish this goal and Execute the shell script
Checklist
Checklist | Description |
|---|---|
Access Key | Access Key ID of IAM user |
Access Key | Access Key of the IAM user |
AWS CLI installation | AWS CLI needs to be installed on the Target m/c where the plugin operation shall run |
AWS CLI in class path | AWS CLI should be added to the classpath in target m/c. Else the path can also be set under FlexDeploy environment level property |
Configure cloud account
First, AWSaccount needs to be configured under Topology. FlexDeploy will connect to the AWS cloud and execute the script
Navigate to the Integrations from the left-hand pane
Navigate to the Cloud tab under Topology
Navigate Create a new Cloud account of provider type “Azure” with the “+” button.
It should have a Client ID, Client Key, Tenant Id, and Subscription Id configured in it.
AWS Access Key is a password field and hence needs to be kept hidden. To update the same click on the pencil icon as shown below
next update the AWS Access Key value under Secret Text. This is to make sure no one else can retrieve the password
Git repository structure
The Git repository should contain shell script to execute.
The Sample Git repository structure is given below:
Build Workflow
Navigate to the Workflows tab and create a workflow using the “+”(Click to create new Workflow) button as highlighted below.
Next, create one Build workflow as shown below. The workflow Type field defines the type of workflow.
Build Workflow
Navigate to the Workflows Tab
Select the “+” button from the left-hand pane to create a new workflow with type as Build.
The Workflow Group and Subgroup define the folder hierarchy. Once both workflows are created it should look like the below. No constraint on workflow or folder naming convention.
The steps of the workflow execution can be configured through the Workflow Definition section.
Below given is a sample build workflow to copy and execute the script.
Step-i: Clone Git Repository
This step will clone the Git repository codebase into the project execution working directory. The Git URL will be retrieved from Source Control configured under Project Configuration.
Step-ii: Copy the script file
The below step will copy the script file.
Step-iiI: execute the script file
Project configuration
Navigate to the Project tab and create a Project with a logical name(AWS-Command in this case)
Configure the Build workflow that has been created in previous steps as shown below.
Source Control
Configure the Source SCM repository under Source Control as shown below.
To configure Project specific Source Control one first need to navigate to the Project Configuration tab.
Next, expand the SOURCE CONTROL option from the left-hand pane.

Properties | Mandatory field | Description |
AWS ACCOUNT | Optional | AWS cloud account name |
AWS CLI | Optional | Directory Where AWS CLI is installed |

Build Execution
For detailed steps on how to initiate Build and push docker image please refer to https://flexagon.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FD65/pages/edit-v2/10197762066?draftShareId
Congratulations! You have successfully completed the Push Image on Amazon Private container registry tutorial.
Now that you have configured FlexDeploy to push image to AWS private container registry, it is extremely easy to replicate the same for other container registry as well. Simply use the Copy Project feature and a new project will be created with all of the configuration completed already. You just need to make the necessary configuration changes.
