  1. The action has four configuration tabs:
  • Trigger – here you select the AWS integration, AWS region, and target application. The tab also contains four variables that you can use in other steps of the pipeline: AWS_PIPELINE_NAME, AWS_PIPELINE_VERSION, AWS_PIPELINE_EXECUTION_ID, and AWS_PIPELINE_EXECUTION_STATUS
  • Variables – here you can view default and create your own variables 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

Tip
Checking 'Wait for CodePipeline to complete' will force the action to wait until AWS finishes the operation before marking it as successful/failed.
  1. When ready, click Add this action to finish configuration.
Success
Congratulations – you have just automated CodePipeline with Buddy! 🥳
