Limits in AWS CodePipeline
The following table lists current limits in AWS CodePipeline. For information about structural requirements, see CodePipeline Pipeline Structure Reference. For information about limits that can be changed, see AWS Service Limits.
Note
Limits that appear in both this table and in the AWS Service Limits table are configurable limits. All other limits in this table are not configurable.
|
Maximum number of total pipelines per AWS Region in an AWS account |
300 |
|
Maximum number of pipelines per AWS Region with change detection set to periodically check for source changes |
60 Note Instead of using periodic checks, configure your pipeline to use the recommended change detection method for your source type. For example, configure your AWS CodeCommit pipeline to use Amazon CloudWatch Events for change detection. See Change Detection Methods Used to Start Pipelines Automatically for instructions for your source type. |
|
Number of stages in a pipeline |
Minimum of 2, maximum of 10 |
|
Number of actions in a stage |
Minimum of 1, maximum of 50 |
| Maximum number of custom actions per AWS Region in an AWS account | 50 |
| Maximum number of parallel actions in a stage | 50 |
| Maximum number of sequential actions in a stage | 50 |
| Maximum number of webhooks per AWS Region in an AWS account | 300 |
|
Length of time before an action times out |
Approval action: 7 days AWS CloudFormation deployment action: 3 days CodeBuild build action and test action: 8 hours CodeDeploy and CodeDeploy ECS (blue/green) deployment actions: 5 days AWS Lambda invoke action: 1 hour Note CodePipeline waits one hour to determine if a Lambda invoke action failed. If the action times out, CodePipeline sets the invoke action state to failed. AWS Lambda has a maximum execution duration per request limit. This limit is set in AWS Lambda (see AWS Lambda Limits) and does not affect the action timeout in CodePipeline. Amazon S3 deployment action: 20 minutes All other actions: 1 hour |
| Maximum number of months that pipeline execution history information is retained | 12 |
