Creating a project in Amazon CodeCatalyst

With CodeCatalyst projects, you can conduct development tasks with shared continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) workflows and repositories, manage resources, track issues, and add users.

Before you create a project, you must have the Space administrator role, and you must create or join the space where you want to create the project.

Creating a project with a blueprint

You can provision all of your project resources and sample code with a project blueprint. For information about blueprints, see the blueprint reference at Project blueprint reference.
