How about passing an AMI-ID to a pipeline? I have a pre-existing pipeline that spits me out an AMI to deploy to whatever environment. Is there way to pass this as a stage in the pipelines? Following the docs it seems like spinnaker is attempted to bake the ami itself.

tomas [12:17 PM] the bake stage is optional

if you have an ami, you can write the name out into a properties file and then set “amiName” = “${trigger.properties.amiName}” inside of the deploy stage’s JSON

pipeline actions -> edit as JSON

the amiName should go inside of the cluster definition(edited)

and it assumes your property file looks like amiName=my-ami-name
