Better interface to AWS Code Pipeline

AWS CodePipeline Construct Library

---

---

Pipeline

To construct an empty Pipeline:

# Example automatically generated. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
import aws_cdk.aws_codepipeline as codepipeline

pipeline = codepipeline.Pipeline(self, "MyFirstPipeline")

To give the Pipeline a nice, human-readable name:

# Example automatically generated. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
pipeline = codepipeline.Pipeline(self, "MyFirstPipeline",
    pipeline_name="MyPipeline"
)

Stages

You can provide Stages when creating the Pipeline:

# Example automatically generated. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
pipeline = codepipeline.Pipeline(self, "MyFirstPipeline",
    stages=[{
        "stage_name": "Source",
        "actions": []
    }
    ]
)

Or append a Stage to an existing Pipeline:

# Example automatically generated. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
source_stage = pipeline.add_stage(
    stage_name="Source",
    actions=[]
)

You can insert the new Stage at an arbitrary point in the Pipeline:

# Example automatically generated. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
some_stage = pipeline.add_stage(
    stage_name="SomeStage",
    placement={
        # note: you can only specify one of the below properties
        "right_before": another_stage,
        "just_after": another_stage
    }
)

Actions

Actions live in a separate package, @aws-cdk/aws-codepipeline-actions.

To add an Action to a Stage, you can provide it when creating the Stage, in the actions property, or you can use the IStage.addAction() method to mutate an existing Stage:

# Example automatically generated. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
source_stage.add_action(some_action)

Cross-region CodePipelines

You can also use the cross-region feature to deploy resources (currently, only CloudFormation Stacks are supported) into a different region than your Pipeline is in.

It works like this:

# Example automatically generated. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
pipeline = codepipeline.Pipeline(self, "MyFirstPipeline",
    # ...
    cross_region_replication_buckets={
        # note that a physical name of the replication Bucket must be known at synthesis time
        "us-west-1": s3.Bucket.from_bucket_attributes(self, "UsWest1ReplicationBucket",
            bucket_name="my-us-west-1-replication-bucket",
            # optional KMS key
            encryption_key=kms.Key.from_key_arn(self, "UsWest1ReplicationKey", "arn:aws:kms:us-west-1:123456789012:key/1234-5678-9012")
        )
    }
)

# later in the code...
codepipeline_actions.CloudFormationCreateUpdateStackAction(
    action_name="CFN_US_West_1",
    # ...
    region="us-west-1"
)

This way, the CFN_US_West_1 Action will operate in the us-west-1 region, regardless of which region your Pipeline is in.

If you don't provide a bucket for a region (other than the Pipeline's region) that you're using for an Action, there will be a new Stack, called <nameOfYourPipelineStack>-support-<region>, defined for you, containing a replication Bucket. This new Stack will depend on your Pipeline Stack, so deploying the Pipeline Stack will deploy the support Stack(s) first. Example:

$ cdk ls
MyMainStack
MyMainStack-support-us-west-1
$ cdk deploy MyMainStack
# output of cdk deploy here...

See the AWS docs here for more information on cross-region CodePipelines.

Creating an encrypted replication bucket

If you're passing a replication bucket created in a different stack, like this:

# Example automatically generated. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
replication_stack = Stack(app, "ReplicationStack",
    env={
        "region": "us-west-1"
    }
)
key = kms.Key(replication_stack, "ReplicationKey")
replication_bucket = s3.Bucket(replication_stack, "ReplicationBucket",
    # like was said above - replication buckets need a set physical name
    bucket_name=PhysicalName.GENERATE_IF_NEEDED,
    encryption_key=key
)

# later...
codepipeline.Pipeline(pipeline_stack, "Pipeline",
    cross_region_replication_buckets={
        "us-west-1": replication_bucket
    }
)

When trying to encrypt it (and note that if any of the cross-region actions happen to be cross-account as well, the bucket has to be encrypted - otherwise the pipeline will fail at runtime), you cannot use a key directly - KMS keys don't have physical names, and so you can't reference them across environments.

In this case, you need to use an alias in place of the key when creating the bucket:

# Example automatically generated. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
key = kms.Key(replication_stack, "ReplicationKey")
alias = kms.Alias(replication_stack, "ReplicationAlias",
    # aliasName is required
    alias_name=PhysicalName.GENERATE_IF_NEEDED,
    target_key=key
)
replication_bucket = s3.Bucket(replication_stack, "ReplicationBucket",
    bucket_name=PhysicalName.GENERATE_IF_NEEDED,
    encryption_key=alias
)

Events

Using a pipeline as an event target

A pipeline can be used as a target for a CloudWatch event rule:

# Example automatically generated. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
import aws_cdk.aws_events_targets as targets
import aws_cdk.aws_events as events

# kick off the pipeline every day
rule = events.Rule(self, "Daily",
    schedule=events.Schedule.rate(Duration.days(1))
)

rule.add_target(targets.CodePipeline(pipeline))

When a pipeline is used as an event target, the "codepipeline:StartPipelineExecution" permission is granted to the AWS CloudWatch Events service.

Event sources

Pipelines emit CloudWatch events. To define event rules for events emitted by the pipeline, stages or action, use the onXxx methods on the respective construct:

# Example automatically generated. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
my_pipeline.on_state_change("MyPipelineStateChange", target)
my_stage.on_state_change("MyStageStateChange", target)
my_action.on_state_change("MyActionStateChange", target)
