AWS CodePipeline supports parameterized pipelines
Today, AWS CodePipeline announces the general availability of parameterized pipelines, a new feature that enables customers to dynamically pass input parameters to a pipeline execution. For a pipeline to accept input parameters, customers have to declare the variables and use them in action configurations. When releasing a change through the console, customers can set values for variables to use in the pipeline execution. These input variables can be used in configuration of all action types except Source action types. Customers can also set the values for the input parameters when starting a pipeline through API, CLI, SDK and CDK.
AWS CodePipeline supports triggering on git tags
Today, AWS CodePipeline announces support for staring a pipeline execution on git tags pushed to repositories in GitHub, GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab Cloud and Bitbucket Cloud using CodeStarSourceConnection source actions. Customers can now add a “triggers” section in their pipeline definition that has a filter for git tags using include and exclude patterns. When a git tag applied to a commit in the source repository matches the trigger filter, CodePipeline starts a pipeline execution. The CodeStarSourceConnection action clones the commit associated with the git tag. Customers can see the git tag that started the pipeline execution in the console as output variable of the corresponding source action. Customers can use the triggers section using API/CLI/SDK and CDK.
