具有 jenkins 构建阶段的代码管道的 AWS Cloudformation 模板

Question

I need to write a CFT for pipeline with Jenkins integration for build/test. I found this documentation to setup ActionTypeId for the jenkins stage. But this doc does not specify how to set the server url of the jenkins server . And also it is not clear to me where to give the Jenkins Provider name . Is it in the ActionTypeId or in configuration properties?

I could not find any example for this use case in the internet as well.

Please provide a proper example for setup Jenkins Action Provider for AWS Codepipeline using AWS Cloudformation template.

Following is a section from the sample cft I wrote from what I learnt from above doc.

"stages": [
    {
        "name": "Jenkins",
        "actions": [
            ...
            {
                "name": "Jenkins Build",
                "actionTypeId": {
                    "category": "Build",
                    "owner": "Custom",
                    "provider": "Jenkins",
                    "version": "1"
                },
                "runOrder": 2,
                "configuration": {
                    ???
                },
                ...
            }
        ]
    },
    ...
]

The piece of information which was missing for me was that I need to create a Custom Action to use Jenkins as the Action provider for my codepipeline.

First I added the custom action as below:

JenkinsCustomActionType: 
    Type: AWS::CodePipeline::CustomActionType
    Properties: 
        Category: Build 
        Provider: !Ref JenkinsProviderName
        Version: 1
        ConfigurationProperties: 
            - 
                Description: "The name of the build project must be provided when this action is added to the pipeline." 
                Key: true 
                Name: ProjectName 
                Queryable: false
                Required: true 
                Secret: false 
                Type: String 
        InputArtifactDetails: 
            MaximumCount: 5
            MinimumCount: 0 
        OutputArtifactDetails: 
            MaximumCount: 5
            MinimumCount: 0 
        Settings: 
            EntityUrlTemplate: !Join ['', [!Ref JenkinsServerURL, "/job/{Config:ProjectName}/"]]
            ExecutionUrlTemplate: !Join ['', [!Ref JenkinsServerURL, "/job/{Config:ProjectName}/{ExternalExecutionId}/"]]
        Tags:
            - Key: Name
              Value: custom-jenkins-action-type

The jenkins server URL is given in the settings for Custom Action and the Jenkins provider name is given for Provider . Which were the issues I had initially.

Then configure the pipeline stage as following:

DevPipeline:
    Type: AWS::CodePipeline::Pipeline
    DependsOn: JenkinsCustomActionType
    Properties:
        Name: Dev-CodePipeline
        RoleArn:
            Fn::GetAtt: [ CodePipelineRole, Arn ]
        Stages:
            ...
            - Name: DevBuildVerificationTest
              Actions:
                  - Name: JenkinsDevBVT
                    ActionTypeId:
                        Category: Build
                        Owner: Custom
                        Version: 1
                        Provider: !Ref JenkinsProviderName
                    Configuration:
                        # JenkinsDevBVTProjectName - Jenkins Job name defined as a parameter in the CFT
                        ProjectName: !Ref JenkinsDevBVTProjectName
                    RunOrder: 4

The Custom Action has to be created before the Pipeline. Hence DependsOn: JenkinsCustomActionType
