AWS CodeBuild now supports a X-Large Linux compute type
Starting today, you can launch builds on a new compute type, X-Large, when using AWS CodeBuild.
Starting today, you can launch builds on a new compute type, X-Large, when using AWS CodeBuild.
AWS CodeBuild added support for a larger "LINUX_CONTAINER" compute type. This compute type is optimized for workloads that require high-performance, such as builds that require high I/O, running tasks in parallel, and more. Previously, you could only run a limited number of tests and build steps in parallel, before the builds became I/O-bound resulting in slow build times.
You can get started by creating or updating a CodeBuild Project and selecting "BUILD_GENERAL1_XLARGE" as the compute type. The X-Large compute type is available in all regions where CodeBuild is available.
