+1. The CodePipeline can then be provisioned using the `CodePipeline.yml` again passing in the arn of the KMS key to use for artefact encryption which was provisioned as part of the build account base infratructure. The CloudFormation also creates a CodeStar connection to GitHub. This connection, however, will be in pending state after the creation. You need to setup the connection as an onetime activity before it can be used in the pipeline.
 
 This project uses conventions based on ProjectName in order to minimize the number of parameters required to pass to the respective cloudformation templates. For example, the codepipeline assumes
 that there are roles named `${ProjectName}-${AWS::Region}-DeploymentRole` in both the prod and dev accounts, rather than passing explicit arns in. These roles are set up by the cloudformation scripts as described above.
