Use CreatePipeline with an AWS SDK or CLI

To create a pipeline

This example creates a pipeline in AWS CodePipeline using an already-created JSON file (here named MySecondPipeline.json) that contains the structure of the pipeline. For more information about the requirements for creating a pipeline, including the structure of the file, see the AWS CodePipeline User Guide.

Command:

aws codepipeline create-pipeline --cli-input-json file://MySecondPipeline.json

JSON file sample contents:

 "pipeline": {
  "roleArn": "arn:aws:iam::111111111111:role/AWS-CodePipeline-Service",

Output:

This command returns the structure of the pipeline.

Example 1: This examples creates a new pipeline with the specified settings.

$sourceStageAction.ActionTypeId = @{"Category" = "Source"; "Owner" = "AWS"; "Provider" = "S3"; "Version" = 1}
$sourceStageAction.Configuration.Add("S3Bucket", "MyBucketName")
