codecatalyst/README.md offered running the existing GitHub Action inside a
CodeCatalyst workflow as a quick alternative, and asked the reader to "verify
GitHub-Actions-in-CodeCatalyst support against current AWS docs" -- leaving the
one question that decides whether the suggestion is usable unanswered, in the
document that makes the suggestion.
Verified. It is supported: the action identifier is
aws/github-actions-runner@v1, and the GitHub Action's `steps:` block is pasted
into the CodeCatalyst action's `Steps:`. Added a worked example.
It is not a drop-in, which is the part worth writing down. AWS states outright
that "detailed migration steps are outside the scope of this guide", and their
own porting example shows `GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}` being
deleted, because CodeCatalyst has no GitHub secrets context. Since the token
here exists to dodge GitHub's 60 req/hr anonymous limit, someone taking this
path and copying the action verbatim would land straight back on rate limiting
with no obvious cause. Also noted that anything outside the action's `steps:`
block has to be re-expressed in CodeCatalyst YAML, and that reports and
artifacts are configured on the CodeCatalyst action rather than by the GitHub
Action.
Kept the recommendation pointing at the native script, and said why.
Documentation only; no code changes.
