Jenkins with AWS Fargate using ECS-Fargate plugin

Question

I am trying to create a Jenkins/Fargate CI-CD workflow ( via the ECS-Fargate plugin). So jenkins would make use of Fargate tasks to do its work.

Two of the stages that i'm trying as part of the workflow:

1. Docker Build

   How can we build or create a docker image out of a docker file on Fargate?

2. Docker Image scan

   How and what tools can we use to scan and run the docker image scan stage on Fargate.

Answer 1

You can refer to this blog post for #1.

As per #2, Amazon ECR supports image scans so you can leverage that.

Answer 2

You can use kaniko for building image in fargate container. You can check this github repository Jenkins agent docker kaniko.
