Triggering AWS codepipeline/codebuild from a scheduled lambda and blocking commit trigger

I have a codepipeline using AWS codebuild building an AMI I planning on running on a weekly schedule for a fresh server image.

  1. I want to run it as a scheduled task, I thought of using lambda scheduled tasks for that, but didn't see an option of running pipeline source from lambda (I thought of using the api from lambda for that, but I rather have a mode declarative solution using the existing tools) Does anyone know of a built in solution for that?

  2. I DON'T want it to run on code push, how can that be enabled?

Edit: clarification

Why codepipeline? Because the task is too long for lambda. And I don't want to spin an ec2 instance for that (Billed by the hour) or keep an almost not working instance. Any other AWS tools that can handle that?

Currently, these are the Codepipeline detection options when using Codecommit enter image description here

Even though this configures the CloudWatch Events to automatically start when a change occurs, you can just log into the Cloudwatch console and disable or modify the event as you like.

Since the events can run on a schedule, you may not even need lambda
