Working with sync configurations for linked repositories
In AWS CodeConnections, you use a connection to associate AWS resources to a third-party repository,
such as GitHub, Bitbucket Cloud, GitHub Enterprise Server, and GitLab. Using the
CFN_STACK_SYNC sync type, you can create a sync configuration, which allows AWS
to sync content from a Git repository to update a specified AWS resource. AWS CloudFormation integrates
with connections so that you can use Git sync to manage your template and parameter files in a
linked repository that you sync with.
After creating a connection, you can use the connections CLI or the AWS CloudFormation console to create your repository link and sync configuration.
-
Repository link: A repository link creates an association between your connection and an external Git repository. The repository link allows Git sync to monitor and sync changes to files in a specified Git repository.
-
Sync configuration: Use the sync configuration to sync content from a Git repository to update a specified AWS resource.
For more information, see the AWS CodeConnections API Reference.
For a tutorial that walks you through creating a sync configuration for an AWS CloudFormation stack using the AWS CloudFormation console, see Working with AWS CloudFormation Git sync in the CloudFormation User Guide.
