No, you cannot skip a build stage in AWS CodePipeline directly.

But here’s what you can do:

1. Use a condition: You can add a rule (like a check using AWS Lambda) to only run the build if needed. For example, run the build only when certain files change.

2. Use different pipelines: You can create separate pipelines for different tasks, so you don’t always run the build stage.

3. Make the build optional (in a way): You can change the build action to just pass or do nothing if certain conditions are met.

4. Also you can visit DevOps with AWS institute if you want proper path .
