Connections rename - Summary of changes

The connections feature in the Developer Tools console allows you to connect your AWS resources to third-party source repositories. On March 29, 2024, AWS CodeStar Connections was renamed to AWS CodeConnections. The following sections describe the different parts of the feature that changed with the rename, and what actions you need to take to ensure that your resources continue to function properly.

Note that this list is not exhaustive. While other parts of the product also changed, these updates are the most relevant.

Note

Actions for resources that are created under the new service prefix codeconnections are available. Creating a resource under the new service prefix will use codeconnections in the resource ARN. Actions and resources for the codestar-connections service prefix remain available. When specifying a resource in the IAM policy, the service prefix needs to match that of the resource.

Note

Beginning July 1, 2024, the console creates connections with codeconnections in the resource ARN. Resources with both service prefixes will continue to display in the console.

Renamed service prefix

Connections APIs use a renamed service prefix: codeconnections.

To use the new prefix in CLI commands, download the version 2 of the AWS CLI. The following is an example command with the updated prefix.

aws codeconnections delete-connection --connection-arn arn:aws:codeconnections:us-west-2:account_id:connection/aEXAMPLE-8aad-4d5d-8878-dfcab0bc441f

Renamed actions in IAM

The actions in IAM use the new prefix, as shown in the following examples: 

codeconnections:CreateConnection
codeconnections:DeleteConnection
codeconnections:GetConnection
codeconnections:ListConnections

New resource ARN

Connections resources that are created will have a new ARN: 

arn:aws:codeconnections:us-west-2:account-ID:connection/*

Affected service role policies

For the following services, service role policies will use the new prefix in policy statements. You can also update your existing service role policies to use the new permissions, but policies created with the old prefix will continue to be supported.

  • The CodePipeline customer-managed service role policy

  • The AWS CodeStar service role AWSCodeStarServiceRole policy

New CloudFormation resource

To use the AWS CloudFormation resources for connections, a new resource will be available. The existing resource will still be supported.
