Debug builds in Amazon CodeBuild

Amazon CodeBuild provides two methods for debugging builds during development and troubleshooting. You can use the CodeBuild Sandbox environment to investigate issues and validate fixes in real-time, or you can use Amazon Systems Manager Session Manager to connect to the build container and view the container state.

Debug builds with CodeBuild sandbox

The CodeBuild sandbox environment provides an interactive debug session in a secure and isolated environment. You can interact with the environment directly through the Amazon Web Services Management Console or Amazon CLI, execute commands, and validate your build process step by step. It uses a cost-effective per-second billing model and supports the same native integration with source providers and Amazon services as your build environment. You can also connect to a sandbox environment using SSH clients or from your integrated development environments (IDEs).

To learn more about the CodeBuild sandbox pricing, visit the CodeBuild pricing documentation. For detailed instructions, visit the Debug builds with CodeBuild sandbox documentation.

Debug builds with Session Manager

Amazon Systems Manager Session Manager enables direct access to running builds in their actual execution environment. This approach allows you to connect to active build containers and inspect the build process in real-time. You can examine the file system, monitor running processes, and troubleshoot issues as they occur.
