Getting Started with Elastic Bamboo

Elastic Bamboo を最初に使用する場合は、まず次の重要なドキュメントを読むところから始めることを強くお勧めします。

• About Elastic Bamboo — This high-level overview explains the key concepts behind the Elastic Bamboo feature.
• Elastic Bamboo Security — We strongly recommend that you read this document to understand the security implications of enabling Elastic Bamboo. This includes important information on securing your version control system (VCS) for use with Elastic Bamboo.
• Elastic Bamboo Costs — Elastic Bamboo sources resources from the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) which are charged separately to your Bamboo license fee. We recommend that you read this document to understand how you will be charged for using Elastic Bamboo.

Elastic Bamboo の概念、セキュリティへの影響、コストを理解したら、Bamboo インストールで Elastic Bamboo を有効化して設定します。また、Elastic Bamboo を正しく動作させるために、バージョン管理システム (VCS) を Amazon で利用できるようにする必要があります。

2.1. Elastic Bamboo を有効化する

To enable Elastic Bamboo,

2.2) にアップグレードする場合に大変便利です。Elastic Bamboo の設定

Elastic Bamboo を使用するには、「Elastic Bamboo の設定」ドキュメントに記載されている説明に沿って設定する必要があります。これは次のとおり、3 ステップの簡単なプロセスです。

1. アマゾン ウェブ サービスのアカウントの詳細を入力します。
2. Elastic Bamboo のグローバル設定を構成します。
3. エラスティック インスタンス設定を構成します。

• Read the Configuring Elastic Bamboo document.

2.3. Providing Access to your VCS

You need to make your version control system available to Amazon to run builds using Elastic Bamboo. This has security implications, particularly if your VCS is behind a firewall.

• Read the Elastic Bamboo Security document for further instructions, if you have not read it already.

Now that you have enabled and configured Elastic Bamboo for your Bamboo installation, you can try running a build with Elastic Bamboo. You can manually start an elastic instance via the Bamboo administration console. Starting an elastic instance will automatically start an elastic agent process on it.

• Read about starting an elastic instance

To run a build on your elastic agent, you must set up a build with requirements that can be met by your elastic agent's capabilities. Elastic agents inherit the capabilities of the image that they are started from. This will be the default Elastic Bamboo image, unless you have customised it.

• Read about the capabilities of the default image.

For the purposes of this guide, you should set up your build so that its requirements can only be met by the elastic agent's capabilities. This will ensure that the build runs on your elastic agent. If you cannot set up any build requirements that are uniquely met by the elastic agent's capabilities in your Bamboo installation, you can customise your elastic agent's capabilities to add a unique custom capability, e.g. 'elastic=true'). To do this, you will need to customise the capabilities of your default image and start a new elastic instance.

• Read about customising the capabilities of the default image.

Builds on elastic agents are run just like builds on any other agent. You will see the progress of your build on your dashboard and can view the build result when it has completed.

Tip: You can significantly reduce the costs and time taken to run a build by configuring Elastic Bamboo to use Amazon's Elastic Block Store (EBS).

When your build has completed successfully, shut down your elastic instance. As described in Elastic Bamboo Costs, the bulk of your Elastic Bamboo costs are from instance uptime. We strongly recommend that you shut down your elastic instances when not in use.

• Read about shutting down an elastic instance.

エラスティック インスタンスをシャットダウンすると、実行中のエージェント プロセスが終了することにご注意ください。つまり、エラスティック エージェントは、オンラインでない限り、Bamboo の "エージェント" ページに表示されません。終了されたエラスティック エージェントに関する情報を表示する場合は、エラスティック エージェントの使用履歴でそのエージェントを確認できます。

• Read about viewing your elastic agent usage history.
