append the account name to the customization pipeline name

Open v-rosa opened this issue 2 years ago • 8 comments

Appending the account name to the customization pipeline name (under AWS Code Pipeline)

e.g. 1234567890-customizations-pipeline to 1234567890-customizations-pipeline-awsome-account-name

Having the account number its already an unique way to distinguish the pipelines, but for us, humans, it quite hard to memorize and map the account numbers to the account names.

In my opinion this should be handled with tags - ref. #253 Appending the account name to the workspace would create clutter

If #253 is implemented, we can add a name tag to the workspace to easily distinguish them

I'm not referring to TF workspaces, but to AWS Code Pipeline.

Hey @v-rosa!

Thank you for this feature request! I have created a backlog item for this and will review with the team.

This would be a very useful addition. It is much easier to select a pipeline by account name rather than its ID.

I agree that this would handled better with tags on the pipeline. It also would be great if AWS added the option to show tags on the pipelines list.

I concur that the name of the pipeline should reflect the name of the account. Even with tags, that doesn't help when looking for which of the CodeBuild run's we are looking for. Naming the pipeline after the account would also mean the submitter listed in CodeBuild would be easier to identify which run we are looking for when troubleshooting. I'm not sure about the name in the OP, but I'd go something like aft-<accn number>-<accn name>, or along those lines. By replacing the customizations-pipeline, you could keep the name from getting cluttered as smokentar mentioned.

For those who don't want the clutter within the console, could we make this a opt-out feature?

How hard cant it be to sit in the backlog for so long? Having an option to add account names to the pipelines would be pretty helpful when searching for specific pipeline
