(aws-codestarconnections): Missing L2 constructs for AWS CodeStar Connections

[wladyslawczyzewski]

Describe the feature

There's no L2 constructs for the AWS CodeStar connections, although creating the Connection resource with CDK is opinionated (as it will always be in PENDING state and some manual actions is required to finish the configuration) but having the ability to "import" the connection and use it's ARNs later with CodePipeline's Actions CodeStarConnectionSourceAction would offer better dev-ex I think.

Use Case

Designing and deploying the pipelines without the connection to the project's source code is impossible.

AWS don't recommend using the GitHub (via OAuth app) source provider and suggest to use the GitHub (via Github App) (Code Star Connections) source provider - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/appendix-github-oauth.html

Proposed Solution

• Create a L2 constructs for AWS::CodeStarConnections::Connection resource
• Allow the "lookup" of the AWS::CodeStarConnection::Connection resource by the name using the AwsCustomResource (list-connections api call)

Other Information

No response
