Add PrivilegedMode option to CodeBuild Environments

[gkrizek]

CodeBuild now allows you to run your build containers in privileged mode. They rolled this feature out pretty silently it seems because I can't find any announcements or product updates about it. They also haven't added it to the CloudFormation documentation yet either. I can only find a reference to it in this document on creating a project:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/create-project.html#create-project-cli

I can confirm that CloudFormation supports this option because I have created a template for a CodeBuild project and added this in manually. Worked as expected.

@markpeek @phobologic Any progress on getting this merged?

It's super simple and would save me a lot of hassle of setting it manually. 😄

I typically do not commit features until they are documented by CF. Since you mentioned it worked for you, I'll commit this for now and send a follow up to the CF team as well.

Thanks!

Thanks @markpeek ! Yes I can confirm that it works. I'm not sure why CF hasn't updated their Documentation.

Just to follow up, this has now been added to the documentation:
