How to use

Authentication

You must provide credentials in order to make requests to AWS services. You can either specify the credentials in the plugin configuration or rely on the default credential provider chain, which attemps to find the credentials in different sources. The followin order is used to find the AWS credentials:

If serverId is specified, the plugin checks the Maven server authentication profile. In that case your ~/.m2/settings.xml has to include AWS access keys. In the servers tag, add a child server tag with an id with the serverId you specified earlier in the plugin configuration. Use username and password to define your AWS access and AWS secret access keys respectively:
```
<server>
    <id>mycompany.aws</id>
    <username>AWS_ACCESS_KEY_HERE</username>
    <password>AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_HERE</password>
</server>
```
Only the password field (secret access key) in the server element can be encrypted (as per mvn -ep).
Plugin configuration – awsAccessKey and awsSecretAccessKey parameters.
Default AWS credential provider chain:
1. Environment variables – AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
2. Java system properties – aws.accessKeyId and aws.secretKey.
3. The default credential profiles file, that is usually located at ~/.aws/credentials
4. Amazon ECS container credentials.
5. Instance profile credentials.
6. Web Identity Token credentials from the environment or container.

Deploy to Beanstalk

Add this to the <plugins> section of your pom.xml:

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.github.davidmoten</groupId>
    <artifactId>aws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>[LATEST_VERSION]</version>
    <configuration>
        <!-- Optional authentication configuration. The default credential provider chain is used if the configuration is omitted -->
        <!-- if you have serverId then exclude awsAccessKey and awsSecretAccessKey parameters -->
        <serverId>aws</serverId>
        <!-- if you omit serverId then put explicit keys here as below -->
        <awsAccessKey>${env.YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY}</awsAccessKey>
        <awsSecretAccessKey>${env.YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}</awsSecretAccessKey>
        
        <!-- The default region provider chain is used if the region is omitted -->
        <region>ap-southeast-2</region>
        
        <artifact>${project.build.directory}/my-artifact.war</artifact>
        <applicationName>my-application-name</applicationName>
        <environmentName>my-environment-name</environmentName>
        <!-- optional versionLabel -->
        <versionLabel>my-artifact-${maven.build.timestamp}.war</versionLabel>
        <!-- optional proxy config -->
        <httpsProxyHost>proxy.me.com</httpsProxyHost>
        <httpsProxyPort>8080</httpsProxyPort>
        <httpsProxyUsername>user</httpsProxyUsername>
        <httpsProxyPassword>pass</httpsProxyPassword>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Notes:

If you don't access AWS via an https proxy then leave those configuration settings out.
You can also specify a <versionLabel> in configuration if you want. If you don't it is automatically generated for you using the application name and a timestamp.

To deploy a war and get it running on Beanstalk:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=<your_key>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your_secret>
mvn package aws:deploy

The user represented by the AWS access key must have put permission on S3 and full access permission on ElasticBeanstalk.

Deploy to Lambda

Add this to the <plugins> section of your pom.xml:

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.github.davidmoten</groupId>
    <artifactId>aws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>[LATEST_VERSION]</version>
    <configuration>
        <!-- Optional authentication configuration. The default credential provider chain is used if the configuration is omitted -->
        <!-- if you have serverId then exclude awsAccessKey and awsSecretAccessKey parameters -->
        <serverId>aws</serverId>
        <!-- if you omit serverId then put explicit keys here as below -->
        <awsAccessKey>${env.YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY}</awsAccessKey>
        <awsSecretAccessKey>${env.YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}</awsSecretAccessKey>
        
        <!-- The default region provider chain is used if the region is omitted -->
        <region>ap-southeast-2</region>
        
        <artifact>${project.build.directory}/my-artifact.war</artifact>
        <functionName>myFunction</functionName>
        <!-- optional functionAlias, if included an alias for the new lambda version is created -->
        <functionAlias>${project.version}-${maven.build.timestamp}</functionAlias>
        <!-- optional proxy config -->
        <httpsProxyHost>proxy.mycompany</httpsProxyHost>
        <httpsProxyPort>8080</httpsProxyPort>
        <httpsProxyUsername>user</httpsProxyUsername>
        <httpsProxyPassword>pass</httpsProxyPassword>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Notes:

If you don't access AWS via an https proxy then leave those configuration settings out.
Adding AWSLambdaFullAccess managed policy to your user in IAM doesn't give you the ability to call UpdateFunctionCode. To fix this add an inline policy as below:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "Stmt1464440182000",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "lambda:InvokeAsync",
                "lambda:InvokeFunction",
                "lambda:UpdateFunctionCode"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

To deploy a jar and get it running on Lambda:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=<your_key>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your_secret>
mvn package aws:deployLambda

Deploy directory to S3

deploys a directory to a path in an S3 bucket
all uploaded files are given public read permissions (can configure this off)
designed for upload of public websites

Add this to the <plugins> section of your pom.xml:

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.github.davidmoten</groupId>
    <artifactId>aws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>[LATEST_VERSION]</version>
    <configuration>
        <!-- Optional authentication configuration. The default credential provider chain is used if the configuration is omitted -->
        <!-- if you have serverId then exclude awsAccessKey and awsSecretAccessKey parameters -->
        <serverId>aws</serverId>
        <!-- if you omit serverId then put explicit keys here as below -->
        <awsAccessKey>${env.YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY}</awsAccessKey>
        <awsSecretAccessKey>${env.YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}</awsSecretAccessKey>
        
        <!-- The default region provider chain is used if the region is omitted -->
        <region>ap-southeast-2</region>
        
        <inputDirectory>src/main/webapp</inputDirectory>

        <!-- if false uses bucket default ACL -->
        <!-- default is true -->
        <publicRead>false</publicRead>

        <bucketName>the_bucket</bucketName>
        <outputBasePath></outputBasePath>
        <!-- optional proxy config -->
        <httpsProxyHost>proxy.mycompany</httpsProxyHost>
        <httpsProxyPort>8080</httpsProxyPort>
        <httpsProxyUsername>user</httpsProxyUsername>
        <httpsProxyPassword>pass</httpsProxyPassword>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Notes:

If you don't access AWS via an https proxy then leave those configuration settings out.

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=<your_key>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your_secret>
mvn package aws:deployS3
