Use Docker Agents in Jenkins to Build, Push to ECR, and Deploy to ECS

In this tutorial, we explore how to use Docker as a build agent in a Jenkins Pipeline, leveraging the power of containers for efficient and isolated builds. Additionally, we cover how to push Docker images to Amazon ECR and deploy them to ECS for production-ready containerized applications.

#jenkins #ecs #ecr #aws #docker

What you'll learn:
1. Installing the Docker Pipeline Plugin: Step-by-step instructions to set up Docker support in Jenkins.
2. Advantages of Docker Agents: Learn why Docker containers are ideal for consistent and portable build environments.
3. Using AWS Plugins: Integrating AWS authentication and pipeline credentials for seamless deployments to ECR and ECS.
4. Docker Build Methods: Discover how to use the Docker Pipeline Plugin to build and manage Docker images directly from Jenkins.
5. Pushing Images to Amazon ECR: Automating the process of storing your Docker images in ECR.
6. Deploying to Amazon ECS: Configuring ECS services to deploy containerized applications efficiently.
7. Configuring Docker Socket Permissions: Ensure your host machine’s Docker socket is correctly configured so that Jenkins can communicate securely with Docker.

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of using Docker in Jenkins pipelines and deploying containerized applications on AWS.
