The AWS documentation mentions the following.
AWS CodeBuild currently supports building from the following source code repository providers.
The source code must contain a build specification (build spec) file, or the build spec must be declared as part of a build project definition.
A build spec is a collection of build commands and related settings, in YAML format, that AWS CodeBuild uses to run a build.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/planning.htmlWhen using AWS CodeBuild to build artifacts, the file that specifies a collection of build commands that can be used by the service during the build process is the buildspec.yml file. This file is a YAML-formatted or JSON-formatted document that defines the build phases, commands, and settings required to run a build.
The buildspec.yml file can be included with the source code in the repository or it can be specified in the build project in the AWS CodeBuild console. This file tells AWS CodeBuild what to do when it builds the source code, such as running tests, compiling code, and creating artifacts.
The buildspec.yml file is a declarative file that consists of one or more build commands that are executed in sequence. Each build command can be either a shell command or a custom command defined in a script. AWS CodeBuild runs the build commands in the order they are listed in the file.
The buildspec.yml file can also include environment variables, parameterized build commands, and conditional build commands. These features allow you to customize the build process and make it more flexible.
In summary, the buildspec.yml file specifies the build commands that AWS CodeBuild will use during the build process. It is a declarative file that defines the build phases, commands, and settings required to run a build.
