Extending Amazon AppConfig workflows using extensions
An extension augments your ability to inject logic or behavior at different points during the Amazon AppConfig workflow of creating or deploying a configuration. For example, you can use extensions to perform the following types of tasks (to name a few):
-
Send a notification to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic when a configuration profile is deployed.
-
Scrub the contents of a configuration profile for sensitive data before a deployment starts.
-
Create or update an Atlassian Jira issue whenever a change is made to a feature flag.
-
Merge content from a service or data source into your configuration data when you start a deployment.
-
Back up a configuration to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket whenever a configuration is deployed.
You can associate these types of tasks with Amazon AppConfig applications, environments, and configuration profiles.
