AWS CodePipeline announces the ability to start a pipeline execution with source revision overrides. Until today, a manually started pipeline execution would automatically select the “latest revision” for each source in the pipeline. The “latest revision” depended on the source action type. For example, for a CodeCommit source, the HEAD commit reference in the configured repository and branch was used, and for Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) source, the latest digest of the configured image repository and tag was used. Now, when you start a pipeline execution, you can override the source revisions for the source actions in your pipeline.
With this launch, you can manually start a pipeline execution and select previously successfully processed source revisions to roll back your production environment to a last known good state when the newly processed source revisions causes failures. Starting a pipeline execution with source revision override is available only with the new V2 pipeline type. To learn more about the new pipeline type, included features, and billing implications, visit the documentation.
