Deploying using GitHub Actions

To configure your GitHub pipeline to automate the build and deployment of your AWS SAM application, you must first install the AWS SAM command line interface (CLI) on your host. You can use GitHub Actions in your GitHub workflow to help with this setup.

The following example GitHub workflow sets up an Ubuntu host using a series of GitHub Actions, then runs AWS SAM CLI commands to build and deploy an AWS SAM application:

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v3
      - uses: aws-actions/setup-sam@v2
      - uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v1
        with:
          aws-access-key-id: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
          aws-secret-access-key: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
          aws-region: us-east-2
      - run: sam build --use-container
      - run: sam deploy --no-confirm-changeset --no-fail-on-empty-changeset
