Core Components

Application

The unique identifier for the application being deployed. Ensures the correct combination of revision deployment configuration, and group are referenced during deployment.

Deployment Groups

A set of EC2 instances or _Lambda where the new revision is deployed to.

Deployment

This is the process and components used to apply a new application revision.

Deployment Configuration

A set of deployment rules used during deployment - with success/failure conditions included

AppSpec File

Contains the deployment actions that CodeDeploy should execute during deployment.

Revision

This is everything required to deploy a new version: AppSpec file, application files, configuration files, executables.

Deployments

In-Place

The app on each instance in the deployment group is stopped.
The latest app revision is installed, and the new version of the application is started and validated.
You can use a load balancer so that each instance is unregistered during its deployment and then restored to service after the deployment is complete.
==Only deployments that use the EC2/On-Premises compute platform can use in-place deployments.==

Blue/Green

Instances are provisioned for the replacement environment.
The latest application version is installed on the replacement instances
An optional wait time occurs for activities such as application testing and system verification.
Instances in the replacement environment are registered with an ELB, causing traffic to be rerouted to them.
Instances in the original environment are unregistered and can be terminated or kept running for other uses.
