Support for multi stage pipeline with different accounts

[aweeraman]

I'm looking to have a single multi stage pipeline that builds and deploy in one AWS account and upon approval deploy the same artifacts into a separate AWS account all within a single pipeline in AWS codepipeline. Is this scenario possible? From the docs, it appears this is possible if all the stages are in the same AWS account, but I've yet to come across any reference that this is possible with multiple accounts. Appreciate any pointers. thanks.

As it happens, I was able to get it working without much of a hassle. All I had to do was initialize a new environment with AWS profiles set to both the existing account from where the pipeline runs as well as the new account, create a new stage in the pipeline and run "pipeline update". Copilot also seems to create a trust relationship in EnvManagerRole with the account that does the deployment that enables it to work.
