Use triggers to automatically start a deployment pipeline based on application updates in your artifact repository or the execution of another pipeline. You can also schedule a pipeline to run at a specific day and time.

You can add the following types of triggers to a deployment pipeline.

GitHub  Launch the deployment pipeline automatically when a selected GitHub event is received.

Chef Habitat  Launch the deployment pipeline automatically if an application component is updated in the artifact repository.

Pipeline  Launch a deployment pipeline automatically once another build or deployment pipeline has been successfully executed. This allows you to automatically execute a sequence of pipelines with no manual intervention required.

Scheduled  Schedule a deployment pipeline to run at a specific day and time.

Click the Deploy tab. Clickto create a new deployment pipeline or click Edit on an existing pipeline.

Push  This event is triggered when you push a commit to the master (main) branch or push a git tag.

Release  This event is triggered when you create a release via GitHub.
