CodePipeline limits #128
Description
Hello,
I am seriously worried about the CodePipeline limits.
Let please somebody check my math and give me a hint how can I configure ADF to manage the baseline in 80 production accounts each of which operate in multiple (different) regions.
A pipeline can have maximum of 10 stages and 50 actions in a stage, this means theoretical maximum of 500 actions.
Two of the stages are always reserved for CodeCommit and CodeBuild, so it's actually 400 actions.
Each regional deployment needs 2 actions (replace->execute), so we go down to 200 account/regions per pipeline.
Because of the hard limit of 50 actions per stage (as per AWS Support), we can have maximum of 25 account/regions per stage.
This can be something between one account with 25 regions or 25 accounts with one region.
A stage in ADF represents also an AWS Organizaton Unit, which means also maximum of 25 accounts per OU.
The only workaround that I found is to use multiple pipelines to the same repository, but we still have the limit to 25 accounts per region, so we have to separate them in OU buckets on the Organization
like this:
regions: eu-west-1
/customers1/
/customers2/
..
regions: eu-central-1
/customers1/
/customers2/
Looks ugly and because of limit the 200 regional deployments per pipeline, we can have maximum of 8 OU buckets with maximum of 25 accounts per bucket.
Please let somebody tell me that I am wrong here, because I don't see how these 80 accounts will scale to 300 so that we can move our SaaS to AWS.
Thank you
