Description

Add a method for promoting the artifacts from the test to the release step in the CLI Release Pipelines.

Currently, the full test suite fails with a few of the 90 tests failing, blocking the pipeline and leading to out-of-band promotions. We should add a mechanism which allows us to quickly and easily review the results of the test step and promote to release in-pipeline rather than do an out-of-band execution of the release step. This will make things easier to review, document, and involve less opportunity for human error.

Research direction

The issue names the CLI Release Pipelines and links AWS CodePipeline approval-action documentation; start by locating the pipeline definition and reviewing that approval action. Done means test results can be reviewed and promotion from test to release can be approved in the pipeline without an out-of-band release execution.
