AWS — CodePipeline

What is CodePipeline?

Automate release pipelines for fast and reliable updates.

Create pipeline

aws codepipeline create-pipeline \
  --pipeline '{
    "name": "my-pipeline",
    "roleArn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789:role/codepipeline-role",
    "stages": [
      {
        "name": "Source",
        "actions": [{"name": "Source", "actionTypeId": {"category": "Source", "owner": "AWS", "provider": "CodeCommit", "version": "1"}, "configuration": {"RepositoryName": "my-repo", "BranchName": "main"}}]
      },
      {
        "name": "Build",
        "actions": [{"name": "Build", "actionTypeId": {"category": "Build", "owner": "AWS", "provider": "CodeBuild", "version": "1"}, "configuration": {"ProjectName": "my-build"}}]
      },
      {
        "name": "Deploy",
        "actions": [{"name": "Deploy", "actionTypeId": {"category": "Deploy", "owner": "AWS", "provider": "ElasticBeanstalk", "version": "1"}, "configuration": {"ApplicationName": "my-app", "EnvironmentName": "my-env"}}]
      }
    ]
  }'
