AWS just dropped a cool update: CodeBuild now supports new IAM condition keys for tighter control over your build projects. π―
Why does this matter? You can now enforce fine-grained security policies on:
- β VPC settings (codebuild:vpcConfig.vpcId)
- β Buildspec paths (codebuild:source.buildspec)
- β Compute types (codebuild:computeConfiguration.instanceType), and more...
π§ Real-World Example:
Letβs say your org wants to:
- Restrict builds to a specific VPC
- Enforce lightweight compute types to save cost
- Ensure developers can only use approved buildspec files
With the new condition keys, your IAM policy can enforce this:
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"codebuild:vpcConfig.vpcId": "vpc-0123456789abcdef0",
"codebuild:computeConfiguration.instanceType": "BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL",
"codebuild:source.buildspec": "codebuild/buildspecs/approved-buildspec.yml"
}
}
π‘ Thatβs powerful. It means no more rogue instance types or insecure builds slipping through the cracks!
Let me know in the comments β are you planning to use this in your org?
