Support for tar archive

[rgjamkhedkar]

How can I specify that I want tar archive instead of zip. Zip doesn't seem to preserve file permissions and I need permissions for CodeDeploy hooks. Is there anyway to specify this?

Thanks for filing this issue.

Currently, we do not support non-zip output artifact which can be consumed by the CodeDeploy action within the pipeline.

A quick workaround for this is to have the CodeDeploy "AppSpec" file which modifies the file permissions (by running user commands like chmod).

I'm chiming in for the tar support, it'd be very convenient to our workflows to be able to use tarchives with CodePipeline (but it's a pain point all-around AWS).

+1 Can we have this support.

I've ended up ditching AWS-specific tooling altogether in favor of k8s.
