Aws cli commands from the ecs (fargate) agent task

Using Jenkins
1

How do I go about running aws cli commands from the ecs (fargate) agent task (jenkins/inbound-agent) using the amazon-ecs plugin? Specifically updating the task definitions image after a build.

Thanks!

sh('aws ... do thingie')?

if you are asking because the agent doesn’t have aws cli in it. You can extend the agent yourself

FROM jenkins/inbound-agent
RUN apt-get ...

or use the Jenkins Tools system to install it as needed.
