Question

A development team uses AWS CodePipeline in the us-east-1 region to build and deploy an application. The pipeline must add a deployment stage that provisions a CloudFormation stack in the eu-west-1 region as part of the same pipeline execution. When the developer adds the cross-region deploy action, the pipeline fails at that action. What must the team configure to allow CodePipeline to perform this cross-region deployment?

Accepted Answer

Create an artifact store (S3 bucket) in eu-west-1 and associate it with the pipeline for that region so CodePipeline can replicate artifacts to the target region.

Answer

Enable versioning on the existing us-east-1 artifact bucket and grant CloudFormation cross-region read access via a bucket policy.

Answer

Recreate the entire pipeline in eu-west-1 because CodePipeline cannot execute actions in more than one region.

Answer

Configure a VPC peering connection between the two regions so the pipeline artifacts can be transferred over the private network.
