In this blog post, we will be using CloudFormation to set up Jenkins on AWS. CloudFormation is a service that helps you model and set up your AWS resources so that you can spend less time managing those resources and more time focusing on your applications that run on AWS. ## [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) - AWS CLI installed and configured - IAM user with the following permissions: - AmazonVPCFullAccess - AmazonEC2FullAccess - AmazonS3FullAccess ## [Create the CloudFormation stack](#create-the-cloudformation-stack) ### [Step 1: Create a key pair](#step-1-create-a-key-pair) Create a key pair to access the EC2 instance via SSH. Terminal window ``` 1# Create a key pair2aws ec2 create-key-pair \3 --key-name jenkins-server-key-pair \4 --query 'KeyMaterial' \5 --output text > jenkins-server-key-pair.pem6 7# Change the permission of the key pair8chmod 400 jenkins-server-key-pair.pem ``` Note Store the key pair at a safe place. You will need it to access the EC2 instance via SSH. ### [Step 2: Create a CloudFormation template](#step-2-create-a-cloudformation-template) Create a file named `jenkins-server.yml` and add the following content: Terminal window ``` 1touch jenkins-server.yml ``` jenkins-server.yml ``` 1AWSTemplateFormatVersion: 2010-09-092Description: >-3 This template creates a VPC with a public subnet and an EC2 instance with4 Jenkins installed.

Terminal window ``` 1aws cloudformation create-stack \2 --stack-name jenkins-server \3 --template-body file://jenkins-server.yml ``` ### [Step 4: Check the status of the stack](#step-4-check-the-status-of-the-stack) You can check the status of the stack using the AWS CLI. Terminal window ``` 1aws cloudformation describe-stacks \2 --stack-name jenkins-server ``` ### [Step 5: Access the Jenkins server](#step-5-access-the-jenkins-server) You can access the Jenkins server using the public IP address of the instance. Terminal window ``` 1# Get the public IP address of the Jenkins server instance2AWS_PUBLIC_IP=$(aws ec2 describe-instances \3 --filters "Name=tag:Name,Values=jenkins-server-instance" \4 --query "Reservations[*].Instances[*].PublicIpAddress" \5 --output text)6 7# Open the Jenkins dashboard in the browser8echo "http://${AWS_PUBLIC_IP}:8080" ``` ## [Connect to the Jenkins server and set up Jenkins](#connect-to-the-jenkins-server-and-set-up-jenkins) ### [Step 1: Connect to the Jenkins server](#step-1-connect-to-the-jenkins-server) Connect to the Jenkins server using SSH. Terminal window ``` 1# Get the public IP address of the Jenkins server instance2AWS_PUBLIC_IP=$(aws ec2 describe-instances \3 --filters "Name=tag:Name,Values=jenkins-server-instance" \4 --query "Reservations[*].Instances[*].PublicIpAddress" \5 --output text)6 7# Connect to the Jenkins server instance via SSH8ssh -i jenkins-server-key-pair.pem ec2-user@${AWS_PUBLIC_IP} ``` ### [Step 2: Configure Jenkins](#step-2-configure-jenkins) Connect to the EC2 instance using SSH and run the following commands to configure Jenkins. Terminal window ``` 1sudo cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword ``` ![jenkins-initial-password](/assets/blog/0033-how-to-setup-jenkins-on-aws-using-cloudformation/jenkins-initial-password.png) Copy the initial password and paste it in the Jenkins login page. ![jenkins-login](/assets/blog/0033-how-to-setup-jenkins-on-aws-using-cloudformation/jenkins-login.png) Select the recommended plugins and click on the Install button. ![jenkins-install-plugins](/assets/blog/0033-how-to-setup-jenkins-on-aws-using-cloudformation/jenkins-install-plugins.png) Create an admin user and click on the Save and Finish button. ![jenkins-create-admin-user](/assets/blog/0033-how-to-setup-jenkins-on-aws-using-cloudformation/jenkins-create-admin-user.png) Done! You have set up Jenkins on AWS using CloudFormation. ![jenkins-dashboard](/assets/blog/0033-how-to-setup-jenkins-on-aws-using-cloudformation/jenkins-dashboard.png) ## [Cleanup](#cleanup) You can delete the stack using the AWS CLI. Terminal window ``` 1# Delete the stack2aws cloudformation delete-stack \3 --stack-name jenkins-server4 5# Check the status of the stack6aws cloudformation describe-stacks \7 --stack-name jenkins-server8 9# Delete the key pair10aws ec2 delete-key-pair \11 --key-name jenkins-server-key-pair ``` ## [Conclusion](#conclusion) In this article, we have learned how to set up Jenkins on AWS using CloudFormation. We have also learned how to create a CloudFormation template and create a stack using the AWS CLI. ## [References](#references) - [AWS CloudFormation User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/Welcome.html) - [AWS CloudFormation Template Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/template-reference.html) - [Jenkins Official Website](https://www.jenkins.io/) - [Jenkins User Documentation](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/) - [Installing Jenkins](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/) - [AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-welcome.html) - [Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/concepts.html) - [Amazon VPC User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/what-is-amazon-vpc.html) - [AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/introduction.html) - [AWS Key Pairs and Amazon EC2 Instances](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-key-pairs.html) - [Working with AWS CloudFormation Stacks](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/stacks.html) - [User data in CloudFormation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-ec2-instance.html#cfn-ec2-instance-userdata) - [Elastic IP addresses - Amazon EC2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/elastic-ip-addresses-eip.html) - [How to Install Jenkins on AWS EC2 Instance](/blog/install-jenkins-on-aws-ec2-instance) (Previous related post) - [AWS CloudFormation Best Practices](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/aws-cloudformation-best-practices/) Was this useful? ## Tags [#AWS CloudFormation](/blog/tags/aws-cloudformation)[#Jenkins Setup](/blog/tags/jenkins-setup)[#EC2 Instance](/blog/tags/ec2-instance)[#Infrastructure as Code](/blog/tags/infrastructure-as-code)[#CI/CD Pipeline](/blog/tags/cicd-pipeline)[#AWS CLI](/blog/tags/aws-cli)[#VPC Configuration](/blog/tags/vpc-configuration)[#YAML](/blog/tags/yaml) ## Share [Facebook](https://facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmkabumattar.com%2Fblog%2Fpost%2Fhow-to-setup-jenkins-on-aws-using-cloudformation "Share on Facebook")[Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet/?text=How%20to%20Setup%20Jenkins%20on%20AWS%20Using%20CloudFormation&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmkabumattar.com%2Fblog%2Fpost%2Fhow-to-setup-jenkins-on-aws-using-cloudformation "Share on Twitter")[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmkabumattar.com%2Fblog%2Fpost%2Fhow-to-setup-jenkins-on-aws-using-cloudformation&title=How%20to%20Setup%20Jenkins%20on%20AWS%20Using%20CloudFormation&summary=We%20will%20be%20using%20CloudFormation%20to%20set%20up%20Jenkins%20on%20AWS.%20CloudFormation%20is%20a%20service%20that%20helps%20you%20model%20and%20set%20up%20your%20AWS%20resources%20so%20that%20you%20can%20spend%20less%20time%20managing%20those%20resources%20and%20more%20time%20focusing%20on%20your%20applications%20that%20run%20in%20AWS.&source=https://mkabumattar.com "Share on LinkedIn")[WhatsApp](https://wa.me/?text=How%20to%20Setup%20Jenkins%20on%20AWS%20Using%20CloudFormation%20https%3A%2F%2Fmkabumattar.com%2Fblog%2Fpost%2Fhow-to-setup-jenkins-on-aws-using-cloudformation "Share on WhatsApp")[Telegram](https://t.me/share/url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmkabumattar.com%2Fblog%2Fpost%2Fhow-to-setup-jenkins-on-aws-using-cloudformation&text=How%20to%20Setup%20Jenkins%20on%20AWS%20Using%20CloudFormation "Share on Telegram")[Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmkabumattar.com%2Fblog%2Fpost%2Fhow-to-setup-jenkins-on-aws-using-cloudformation&title=How%20to%20Setup%20Jenkins%20on%20AWS%20Using%20CloudFormation "Share on Reddit")[Hacker News](http://news.ycombinator.com/submitlink?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmkabumattar.com%2Fblog%2Fpost%2Fhow-to-setup-jenkins-on-aws-using-cloudformation&t=How%20to%20Setup%20Jenkins%20on%20AWS%20Using%20CloudFormation "Share on Hacker News")[Pinterest](https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmkabumattar.com%2Fblog%2Fpost%2Fhow-to-setup-jenkins-on-aws-using-cloudformation&media=&description=We%20will%20be%20using%20CloudFormation%20to%20set%20up%20Jenkins%20on%20AWS.%20CloudFormation%20is%20a%20service%20that%20helps%20you%20model%20and%20set%20up%20your%20AWS%20resources%20so%20that%20you%20can%20spend%20less%20time%20managing%20those%20resources%20and%20more%20time%20focusing%20on%20your%20applications%20that%20run%20in%20AWS.
