• Easy to integrate AWS CodePipeline can easily be extended to adapt to your specific needs. You can use AWS pre-built plugins or your own custom plugins in any step of your release process. For example, you can pull your source code from GitHub or use your on-premises Jenkins build server. You can run load tests using a third-party service or pass on deployment information to your custom operations dashboard.
