AWS

For some reason, credentials should be declared quite manually

Elastic Beanstalk

Script

CircleCI will leverage EB CLI. Add a deploy job in your workflow:

workflows:
  version: 2
  # Staging deployment
  build-deploy:
    jobs:
      - build
      - deploy:
          requires:
            - build

jobs:
  build: # build definition
  deploy:
    docker:
      # not requiring a specific stack
      - image: buildpack-deps:trusty
    steps:
      # Need to checkout not only the code but also the EB configuration
      - checkout
      # EB CLI
      - run:
          name: Install EB CLI
          command: |
            sudo apt-get -y update
            sudo apt-get -y install python-pip python-dev build-essential
            sudo pip install awsebcli --upgrade
      # Problem here
      - run:
          name: Create AWS credentials manually
          command: |
            mkdir ~/.aws
            touch ~/.aws/config
            chmod 600 ~/.aws/config
            echo "[profile eb-cli]" > ~/.aws/config
            echo "aws_access_key_id=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID" >> ~/.aws/config
            echo "aws_secret_access_key=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" >> ~/.aws/config
      - run:
          name: Deploy to AWS EB
          command: eb deploy {target environment} --profile eb-cli

I did not find a better solution than create a AWS config file

Troubleshooting

In case of

ERROR: This directory has not been set up with the EB CLI
You must first run "eb init".
Exited with code 126

Ensure that you have elastic beanstalk profiles in the .elasticbeanstalk/config.yml
