We are using CodePipeline to build and deploy our CDK stacks to AWS. However, the pipeline is quite slow and upon investigation we found that the provisioning of a container for the CodeBuild steps were taking between 1.5 - 2 mins and we have 5 CodeBuild steps in our pipeline so the pipeline runs for a long time.
We are using the latest CodeBuild image (aws/codebuild/standard:6.0
) and so the provisioning should be quick as the latest image is cached from what I have read.
Are there any other suggestions as to how we can reduce the pipeline execution time?
