AWS News - 2026-07-06

Starting today, AWS CodePipeline is now available in Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region (ap-southeast-6). AWS CodePipeline is a continuous delivery service that enables you to model, visualize, and automate the steps required to release your software. With CodePipeline, you model the full release process for building your code, deploying to pre-production environments, testing your application and releasing it to production. CodePipeline then builds, tests, and deploys your application according to the defined workflow every time there is a code change. You can integrate partner tools and your own custom tools into any stage of the release process to form an end-to-end continuous delivery solution.

CodePipeline integrates natively with other AWS services (such as CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, and CloudFormation) and supports third-party integrations, such as GitHub or with your own custom plugin, offering a comprehensive solution for orchestrating end-to-end CI/CD pipelines. By integrating manual approval gates, IAM-based access controls, and encryption of artifacts at rest and in transit, CodePipeline helps teams enforce governance policies and maintain a robust security posture throughout the software delivery lifecycle. CodePipeline enables organizations to automate security scans and compliance checks directly within their CI/CD workflows, ensuring consistent and reliable validation against industry frameworks.

To get started, you can sign in to the AWS Management Console and create a pipeline to start using the service. If you want an introduction to CodePipeline, see Getting Started, which includes step-by-step tutorials.  With CodePipeline, you only pay for what you use. There are no upfront fees or long-term commitments. See the pricing page for additional details on CodePipeline.
