CodeCommit deprecation and alternatives with CodeCatalyst

[tkessler45]

CodeCommit is being deprecated, and as the default / native option for AFT this has users with infrastructure that will be in need of migration. While other VCS solutions are supported, there is minimal documentation on migration, and minimal documentation on alternatives provided by AWS, such as CodeCatalyst.

Source? News? Blog Post?
You can't just state something like this without backing it up.

Probably referring to this re:Post answer

Not seen an official announcement from AWS yet, though.

Interesting. They updated the blog post with a disclaimer containing the announcement. (Original Blog Post)
AWS really needs to work on their communication.

On topic: Could AFT support S3 as a possible source for the 4 code repositories?

• That would allow anyone to implement some replication from any third-party repository to S3, without having to hope that AWS CodeStar Connections someday support that Git repo provider.
• One example would be Bitbucket Server, which is not supported by CodeStar Connections.

This seems very premature. Codestar Connections makes some bad assumptions about provider operating models, for example requiring an admin PAT to add a Self-Managed GitLab host. Repo owners are unlikely to be Gitlab admins!

Hi all, thank you for the discussion. AWS CodeCommit is no longer allowing new customers to create repositories. Existing AFT customers with AWS CodeCommit repositories will continue to be supported. Customers with existing repos can also create new repos as needed.
New AFT customers must use CodeStar Connections to utilize a third party VCS provider.
