Region config for S3DeployAction

[handk85]

Please add region configuration in S3DeployAction for cross-region deployment.

Use Case

I have a pipeline that supports cross-region deployment in us-west-2. A deployment stage of my pipeline looks like:

*Pipeline is in us-west-2
...
Deploy stage:
CF                 CF
(us-east-1)    (us-west-2)
 |
S3
(us-east-1)
...

I can set region for CloudFormationCreateUpdateStackAction, so it can support cross region deployment. However, S3DeployAction does not have region config in S3DeployActionProps. The target S3 bucket is created by the us-east-1 CF action above and the bucket is located in us-east-1. Therefore, S3DeployAction fails with the below message in console:

Invalid action configuration
The bucket named [BUCKET_NAME] is not located in the us-west-2 AWS region

I manually changed the region of the action in the console to resolve the problem.

Proposed Solution

It would be great if you can add region to S3DeployActionProps and support cross-region deployment for S3DeployAction.

Hey @handk85 ,

how are you referencing this bucket created by the CF action and used in S3DeployAction? Are you using a method like Bucket.fromBucketName() to do it?

[handk85]

Yes, I am using Bucket.fromBucketName() and provide it to bucket property of S3DeployActoin.

[skinny85]

Then you need to import the Bucket with fromBucketName into a Stack that is in the region you want (in your case, us-east-1). When that happens, the CodePipeline construct will recognize that situation, and correctly fill the configuration of the action so that it points to us-east-1.

Any progress on this one?

Any updates on this? :) I would also like to specify the bucket region, cause my pipeline is in eu-west-2 and my bucket is in us-east-1. Since it can be done manually from the GUI, I'm guessing there's a way to be done from CDK as well.

[skinny85]

@adrian-hincu yes. We're very close to finalizing this in #8280 . Then, you would be able to do:

const myBucket = s3.Bucket.fromBucketAttributes(this, 'Bucket', {
  bucketName: 'my-bucket',
  region: 'my-region',
});

And when you used that Bucket in the deploy Action, it would correctly set its region to 'my-region'.

@skinny85, was this just released in 1.61.0? :)

[skinny85]

In 1.60.0 actually 🙂

Trying to pass fromBucketAttributes retrieved bucket to codepipeline.Pipeline artifactBucket property, which still asks for a bucket in the same region.
Is it that codepipeline.Pipeline just does not accept an Artifacts bucket in a different region ?

Yes. The Bucket for artifacts must be in the same region as the pipeline itself. This issue is about S3DeployAction.
