Integrations with CodePipeline Action Types

The integrations information in this topic is organized by CodePipeline action type.

Source Action Integrations

The following information is organized by CodePipeline action type and can help you configure CodePipeline to integrate with the products and services you use.

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)	Amazon S3 is storage for the internet. You can use Amazon S3 to store and retrieve any amount of data at any time, from anywhere on the web. You can configure CodePipeline to use a versioned Amazon S3 bucket as the source stage for your code. Create the bucket and enable versioning on it. Then you can create a pipeline that uses the bucket as part of a source action in a stage. Note Amazon S3 can also be included in a pipeline as a deploy action. Learn more: Step 1: Create an S3 Bucket for Your Application Create a Pipeline (CLI) CodePipeline uses Amazon CloudWatch Events to detect changes in your Amazon S3 source bucket. Each source action has a corresponding event rule. This event rule starts your pipeline when a change occurs in the source. See General Integrations with CodePipeline.
AWS CodeCommit	CodeCommit is a version control service that you can use to privately store and manage assets (such as documents, source code, and binary files) in the cloud. You can configure CodePipeline to use a branch in a CodeCommit repository as the source stage for your code. Create the repository and associate it with a working directory on your local machine. Then you can create a pipeline that uses the branch as part of a source action in a stage. You can connect to the CodeCommit repository by either creating a pipeline or editing an existing one. Learn more: Tutorial: Create a Simple Pipeline (CodeCommit Repository) CodePipeline uses Amazon CloudWatch Events to detect changes in CodeCommit repositories used as a source for a pipeline. Each source action has a corresponding event rule. This event rule starts your pipeline when a change occurs in the repository. See General Integrations with CodePipeline.
GitHub	You can configure CodePipeline to use a GitHub repository as the source stage for your code. You must have previously created a GitHub account and at least one GitHub repository. You can connect to the GitHub repository by either creating a pipeline or editing an existing one. Note CodePipeline integration with GitHub Enterprise is not supported. The first time you add a GitHub repository to a pipeline, you are prompted to authorize CodePipeline access to your repositories. To integrate with GitHub, CodePipeline creates an OAuth application for your pipeline. If you create or edit your pipeline in the console, CodePipeline creates a GitHub webhook that starts your pipeline when a change occurs in the repository. The token and webhook require the following GitHub scopes: The repo scope, which is used for full control to read and pull artifacts from public and private repositories into a pipeline. The admin:repo_hook scope, which is used for full control of repository hooks. For more information about GitHub scopes, see the GitHub Developer API Reference. Access for CodePipeline is configured for all repositories to which that GitHub account has access. It cannot currently be configured for individual repositories. To revoke this access from GitHub, choose Settings, and then choose Applications. Under Authorized applications, find CodePipeline in the list of authorized applications, and then choose Revoke. Revoking access immediately prevents CodePipeline from accessing any GitHub repositories previously configured for access with that GitHub account. If you want to limit the access CodePipeline has to repositories, create a GitHub account, grant that account access only to those repositories you want to integrate with CodePipeline, and then use that account when you configure CodePipeline to use GitHub repositories for source stages in pipelines.

AWS CodeStar Connections	You can set up resources called connections to allow your pipelines to access third-party code repositories. When you create a connection, you install the AWS CodeStar app with your third-party code repository, and then associate it with your connection. For more information, see Working with Connections in CodePipeline.

Build Action Integrations

AWS CodeBuild	CodeBuild is a fully managed build service that compiles your source code, runs unit tests, and produces artifacts that are ready to deploy.

You can connect to the Jenkins project by either creating a new pipeline or editing an existing one. Access for Jenkins is configured on a per-project basis. You must install the CodePipeline Plugin for Jenkins on every Jenkins instance you want to use with CodePipeline. You must also configure CodePipeline access to the Jenkins project. Secure your Jenkins project by configuring it to accept HTTPS/SSL connections only. If your Jenkins project is installed on an Amazon EC2 instance, consider providing your AWS credentials by installing the AWS CLI on each instance. Then configure an AWS profile on those instances with the IAM user profile and AWS credentials you want to use for connections. This is an alternative to adding and storing them through the Jenkins web interface. Learn more: Accessing Jenkins Tutorial: Create a Four-Stage Pipeline
