GitHub Actions SAM Deployment Example

The purpose of this repository is to illustrate a GitHub Actions pipeline deploying a SAM template.

In this particular example we are deploying Amazon API Gateway, AWS StateMachine, AWS Lambda Functions, and corresponding IAM Roles.

How it Works

There are two workflows sam-validate-build-test-deploy and sam-validate-build-test.

In this repository's current configuration, deployment only occurs when changes land into the main branch. This is seen within the .github/workflows/sam-validate-build-test-deploy.yml file:

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]

For all other branches, we will run the sam-validate-build-test workflow when pull requests are created. This ensures that the code they are looking to merge passes the sam validate and sam build steps.

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

How To Configure

  • Fork this repo and update the code and SAM template to reflect the code you are looking to deploy.
  • Within the Repository settings for your fork or repo, create the following Secrets to configure the permissions to be used by the GitHub Actions pipeline:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
AWS_SESSION_TOKEN
AWS_REGION

Please note the AWS_SESSION_TOKEN is optional, but preferable.
