Description

CodePipelines allows for cross-region deploys but this cannot be set via Terraform. My use case is initiating a deploy stage from a CodePipeline in us-east-2 to an ECS Fargate cluster in us-east-1.

In the AWS CodePipeline docs, Add a Cross-Region Action in CodePipeline, the region can be set programatically in CloudFormation JSON:

 {
                "name": "Deploy",
                "actions": [
                    {
                        "inputArtifacts": [
                            {
                                "name": "SourceArtifact"
                            }
                        ],
                        "name": "Deploy",
                        "region": "RegionB",
                        "actionTypeId": {
                            "category": "Deploy",
                            "owner": "AWS",
                            "version": "1",
                            "provider": "CodeDeploy"
                        },
                        "outputArtifacts": [],
                        "configuration": {
                            "ApplicationName": "name",
                            "DeploymentGroupName": "name"
                        },
                        "runOrder": 1
                    }

However, the current aws_codepipeline resource documentation, does not have an argument reference for region.

This is not a blocking issue as it can easily be remedied in the console. Even so, it would be nice to have the ability to set region for cross-region deploys within the code itself.

Potential Terraform Configuration

  stage {
    name = "Deploy_Stage"

    action {
      name            = "Deploy_In_Another_Region"
      category        = "Deploy"
      owner           = "AWS"
      provider        = "ECS"
      input_artifacts = ["input_artifact"]
      version         = "1"
      region          = "us-east-1" 

      configuration {
        ClusterName = "${data.terraform_remote_state.other_region.cluster_name}"
        FileName    = "imagedefinitions.json"
        ServiceName = "${data.terraform_remote_state.other_region.service_name}"
      }
    }
  }
