Pass Container image value to AWS cloudformation template dynamically from jenkins
To do this you would instead need to make the Image value a parameter passed into the CloudFormation stack.
In your CloudFormation stack create a parameter named "Image" such as below
"Parameters": { "Image": { "Type": String, "Description": "The image name to use within the container definition" }}Then in your code you can reference it using the Ref intrinsic function within the Container Definition like below
ContainerDefinitions" : [ { "Image": { "Ref": "Image" }, ]When you create the stack using the CLI you would create like this below
aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name myteststack --template-body file://sampletemplate.json --parameters ParameterKey=Image,ParameterValue=amazon/amazon-ecs-sampleIf you're using a parameter in the Jenkins Pipeline you could replace the image name like the below
aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name myteststack --template-body file://sampletemplate.json --parameters ParameterKey=Image,ParameterValue=${env.Image}
