2. The action launches a container either with AWS CLI or AWS CDK CLI preinstalled in the container. Both actions are very similar and have five configuration tabs:

• Run – here you select the AWS integration and provide the commands to run
• Environment – if your process requires specific dependencies, you can install them here. The files will stay cached in the container for future pipeline runs
• Variables – here you can view your AWS integration variables, and create your own if required
• Conditions – here you configure the trigger conditions for which the action will run
• Options – here you define the action's name and behavior on failure and timeout
