Setting up cross-account access to AWS CodeCommit repositories involves the following steps:
1. Create an IAM role in the target account with permissions to access CodeCommit.
2. Establish a trust relationship between the source and target accounts by updating the IAM role’s trust policy.
3. Configure the development team members’ IAM users or roles in the source account to assume the target account’s IAM role.
Benefits of cross-account access for distributed teams include:
– Centralized code management: Teams can collaborate on shared repositories, reducing duplication and fragmentation.
– Access control: Granular permissions ensure only authorized users can access specific repositories.
– Simplified billing: Consolidate costs under one account, streamlining budgeting and reporting processes.
