# Implementing CI/CD integration with your Elastic Beanstalk environment
<a name="deployments.cicd"></a>

Elastic Beanstalk integrates with many CI/CD tools to automate your application development workflow. CI/CD practices enable you to automatically build, test, and deploy your applications with minimal manual intervention. Continuous delivery/deployment (CD) extends continuous integration (CI) by automating the deployment process. You can create streamlined deployment pipelines using Amazon services like CodePipeline or third-party tools such as Jenkins and GitLab to ensure consistent, reliable deployments to your Elastic Beanstalk environments.

The following list highlights CI/CD tools and the corresponding Amazon resources that provide step-by-step guidance for creating automated deployment pipelines to Elastic Beanstalk environments:
+ **Amazon CodePipeline** – This [Amazon Getting Started Resource Center](https://www.amazonaws.cn/getting-started/hands-on/continuous-deployment-pipeline/) tutorial shows you how to set up a continuous deployment pipeline to Elastic Beanstalk from GitHub , S3, or Amazon CodeCommit.
+ **GitHub Actions** – See [Using GitHub Actions to deploy to Elastic Beanstalk](deploying-github-actions.md) to learn how to configure YAML-based workflows to set up a continuous deployment pipeline to Elastic Beanstalk directly from GitHub.
+ **GitLab** – This [Amazon DevOps Developer Productivity Blog](https://amazonaws-china.com/blogs/devops/deploy-a-docker-application-on-aws-elastic-beanstalk-with-gitlab/) post demonstrates how to configure GitLab continuous pipelines to deploy Node.js applications to Elastic Beanstalk Docker environments.
+ **Azure DevOps** – This [.NET on Amazon Blog](https://amazonaws-china.com/blogs/dotnet/deploy-to-elastic-beanstalk-with-azure-devops/) post guides you through implementing a continuous deployment pipeline from an Azure DevOps Git repository to Elastic Beanstalk using Azure Pipelines.

## Additional resources

The following third-party tools and resources can help you implement automated deployment pipelines to Elastic Beanstalk environments:
+ **Jenkins** – The [Amazon EBDeployment Jenkins plugin](https://plugins.jenkins.io/awseb-deployment-plugin/) enables direct deployment to Elastic Beanstalk environments from your Jenkins Job Configuration page.
+ **Circle CI:** – The [Orbs for Elastic Beanstalk](https://circleci.com/developer/orbs/orb/circleci/aws-elastic-beanstalk) provide reusable configuration packages to deploy and scale applications to Elastic Beanstalk.
+ **Bitbucket Pipelines** – The article [Deploy Elastic Beanstalk Application using Bitbucket Pipelines](https://avishayil.medium.com/deploy-to-elastic-beanstalk-using-bitbucket-pipelines-189eb75cf052) provides a basic configuration example for implementing Bitbucket Pipelines with Elastic Beanstalk.
