Difficulty: EasyAWS CodeBuild

A developer is configuring an AWS CodeBuild project for a repository that contains multiple build configurations. The developer needs the project to use a custom build specification file named `buildspec-dev.yml` located inside a nested folder named `config`. How should the developer configure CodeBuild to locate this file?

  1. A
    Move the file to a subdirectory named `build/` because CodeBuild automatically searches for any file ending in `.yml` within subdirectories.
  2. Specify the relative path to the file, `config/buildspec-dev.yml`, in the buildspec override setting of the CodeBuild project configuration.Answer
  3. C
    Define the custom path inside the trust policy of the IAM service role assigned to the CodeBuild project.
  4. D
    Store the entire content of `buildspec-dev.yml` as a secure string parameter in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store and configure CodeBuild to retrieve it.

Answer

Specify the relative path to the file, `config/buildspec-dev.yml`, in the buildspec override setting of the CodeBuild project configuration.
To use a buildspec file that has a custom name or is not located in the root of the source directory, the developer must specify the relative path to the file in the buildspec override setting of the CodeBuild project configuration. This instructs CodeBuild where to look for the file within the source code repository.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the default behavior of AWS CodeBuild regarding the buildspec file.
By default, AWS CodeBuild looks for a file named `buildspec.yml` in the root directory of the source provider.
This is the default convention for running builds without extra configuration.
2
Determine how to modify the buildspec file name or location.
AWS CodeBuild provides a 'buildspec override' configuration option at the project level.
This configuration allows developers to specify a custom buildspec file name or path relative to the root of the source directory.
3
Apply the custom path to the CodeBuild project settings.
Enter the relative path `config/buildspec-dev.yml` in the project's buildspec settings.
This tells CodeBuild exactly where to locate the configuration file for the build execution.

Key Concept

AWS CodeBuild supports overriding the default buildspec file name and location by configuring the buildspec path relative to the repository root.
