Follow this guide to configure a plan in Bamboo and then run a trial build on one of your repositories.

Before you begin

Subscribing to Bamboo Cloud

You can try Bamboo Cloud for free for 7 days. If you don't renew the subscription, the account will be deleted. 

Configuring Bamboo Cloud

Open your Bamboo Cloud instance and provide the details in the wizard.

Getting to your Bamboo Cloud instance

To open your Bamboo Cloud instance:

1. Click the link to your brand new service. Atlassian sent it to you in an email after you subscribed.
2. Log in to your Atlassian Cloud instance.
3. In the main view, click the menu icon in the top-left corner and select Bamboo:

Working with the wizard

When you open a Bamboo Cloud instance for the first time, you can set it up with a wizard.

To get ready for your first Bamboo Cloud build:

1. Provide the AWS details.

   Use the credentials of the IAM user that you created in AWS. For more information, see Before you begin. 

   For more information about how to configure Elastic Bamboo, see Configuring Elastic Bamboo.

2. Provide the plan details:
   
   • Project and build plan names
     A deployment project in Bamboo is a container for holding the software project you are deploying: releases that have been built and tested, and the environments to which releases are deployed.
     A build plan in Bamboo is where you configure the work that you want done for the build. A plan defines everything about your build process, including what gets built, how the build is triggered and what jobs are executed.
     For more information about projects and plans, see Deployment projects and Configuring plans.

   • Link a repository to a new build plan. You can select from the following:

     Bitbucket	A free code DVCS hosting site for Git and Mercurial. Learn more...
     Other	These repository hosts are also supported: Git GitHub 2021-12-08_10-16-29_Mercurial Stash Subversion

     For more information about repositories, see Linking to source code repositories.

3. Add and configure the tasks within the plan. As an example, you might want to run a Maven build on one of your Git repositories.
   For more information about tasks, see Configuring tasks.
4. Select the Enable this plan check box at the bottom of the configuration tasks view.
5. Click Create.

Results

Your build starts automatically.

Bamboo Cloud uses the AWS credentials that you provided in the wizard to start elastic agents with the default Elastic Bamboo EC2 settings. 

For more information about how to start elastic instances manually, see Managing your elastic images.
