CreateConnection

Create an AWS App Runner connection resource. App Runner requires a connection resource when you create App Runner services that access private repositories from certain third-party providers. You can share a connection across multiple services.

A connection resource is needed to access GitHub and Bitbucket repositories. Both require a user interface approval process through the App Runner console before you can use the connection.

Examples

Create a GitHub connection

This example illustrates how to create a connection to a private GitHub code repository. The connection status after a successful call is PENDING_HANDSHAKE. This is because an authentication handshake with the provider still hasn't happened. Complete the handshake using the App Runner console. For more information, see Managing App Runner connections in the AWS App Runner Developer Guide.
