How to Trigger AWS code Pipeline on any branch with specific Tag

If you are using CodeCommit as Repo you can use an EventBridge trigger to invoke your pipeline:

1. Create Eventbridge rule - here is an example rule:

{
  "source": ["aws.codecommit"],
  "detail-type": ["CodeCommit Repository State Change"],
  "resources": ["arn:aws:codecommit:{{region}}:{{account_id}}:Test-Repo"],
  "detail": {
    "event": ["referenceCreated", "referenceUpdated"],
    "repositoryName": ["Test-Repo"],
    "referenceType": ["tag"],
    "referenceName": [{
      "prefix": "dev"
    }]
  }
}

2. Configuring the CodePipeline target by providing the ARN of the created pipeline.

Here are the docs for Eventbrdige: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/

If you are using GitHub you may use a github action for the specific tag and inside the action you can use the AWS CodePipeline Trigger

You can just use any branch name and remove that afterwards eg.:

Find out the name of the webhook: aws codepipeline list-webhooks De-register: aws codepipeline deregister-webhook-with-third-party --webhook-name <webhook-name> Delete: aws codepipeline delete-webhook --name <webhook-name>
