Build phase loops, even though its successfull

Question

Hi,  
  
In the pipeline, the build phase completes the build, then immediately kicks off another build and will do this until stopped. Each build is successful, but it never progresses to deployment.  
  
What can I check to see why this is happening?  
  
This is the last 10 or so lines from a successful build output

Answer

Resolution if anyone else is facing this problem.  
  
Check CloudWatch Event rules haven't been created to monitor your ECR repo for a latest build. What was happening was the pipeline created a build, then the CloudWatch event noticed a new image, then started a new pipeline build event again, for infinity. Nice little loop.  
  
So check CloudWatch > Events > Rules and see if you have a "CodePipeLine" type rule setup to monitor changes to your ECR repo. Disable and retest. This fixed my issue.
