Individual skill
aws-deployment
Configures CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodeConnections, and CodeArtifact. Covers CodePipeline V2 (triggers, variables, execution modes, cross-account), buildspec.yml (caching, VPC, Docker), CodeDeploy strategies (blue/green, canary, linear), CodeArtifact (private package registries, auth tokens, cross-account), and source connections (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket). Applies when CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodeConnections, CodeArtifact, buildspec.yml, appspec.yml, or CI/CD pipeline orchestration is referenced. Does NOT cover: ECS Fargate services or task definitions (use aws-containers), CDK Pipelines or cdk deploy (use aws-cdk), sam deploy (use aws-serverless), Amplify deployments (use aws-amplify), or GitHub Actions/GitLab CI.

# AWS Deploy (CI/CD)
**Works best with** the [AWS MCP server](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-mcp/) for running CLI commands and validating configurations directly. All guidance also works with standard AWS CLI.
## Critical Warnings
**CodeConnections PENDING trap**: Connections created via CLI/CloudFormation remain `PENDING` indefinitely — MUST complete OAuth in the AWS Console. No API-only path exists.
**Cross-account triple requirement**: Cross-account deploys need ALL THREE: (1) KMS key policy granting target account (use key ID, not alias), (2) S3 bucket policy for target account, (3) cross-account IAM role with trust policy. Missing any one = cryptic `Access Denied`.
**CodeDeploy ApplicationStop uses PREVIOUS revision**: Broken stop scripts in a prior deployment block ALL future deploys. Make stop scripts idempotent (exit 0 if service absent). Unblock with `--ignore-application-stop-failures`.
**CodeBuild VPC without NAT**: Builds in VPC subnets without NAT gateway hang at `DOWNLOAD_SOURCE` silently. Private subnets MUST have NAT gateway or VPC endpoints.
