help AWS CodePipeline FAQ
How does AWS CodePipeline connect a code change to a deployment?
CodePipeline models a release as stages containing actions, such as Source, Build, Test, and Deploy. AWS documents integrations with services such as CodeBuild and CodeDeploy, so a pipeline can pass build artifacts from one step to the next. ([AWS documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/concepts.html))
Can AWS CodePipeline add tests and manual approval before production?
Yes. AWS lists Test and Approval as supported action types, and actions within a stage can run in sequence or in parallel, so a production gate can be placed after validation. ([AWS action types](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/actions.html))
What is an artifact in AWS CodePipeline?
An artifact is the source code, build output, template, or other file set passed between pipeline actions. AWS describes the artifact store as the place where CodePipeline copies outputs so later actions can pick them up. ([AWS concepts](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/concepts.html))
Does AWS CodePipeline only work with AWS-hosted source and build tools?
No. AWS documents pipelines that use a GitHub source action and a Jenkins build action, alongside AWS deployment services, and it also supports custom actions. ([AWS CodePipeline User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/codepipeline-user.pdf))
