Question

A development team has an AWS CodePipeline that builds an application with CodeBuild and deploys it to a staging environment. Before the artifact is promoted to the production deployment stage, the compliance team requires a designated release manager to review the staging results and explicitly authorize the promotion. The team wants to implement this using native pipeline capabilities without writing custom code. What should they configure?

Accepted Answer

Add a manual approval action to the pipeline stage before the production deployment stage, configured with an SNS topic to notify the release manager.

Answer

Configure a CodeBuild project with a buildspec that pauses execution until an environment variable is manually set to 'approved'.

Answer

Enable a CodeDeploy canary deployment configuration so traffic is shifted only after the release manager confirms.

Answer

Add a Lambda invoke action that polls a DynamoDB table every minute until an approval record is written by the release manager.
