Prerequisites - AWS CodeDeploy (original) (raw)

To follow along in this tutorial:

• Complete all of the steps in Getting started with CodeDeploy, including setting up and configuring the AWS CLI and creating an IAM instance profile (CodeDeployDemo-EC2-Instance-Profile) and a service role (CodeDeployDemo). A_service role_ is a special type of IAM role that gives a service permission to act on your behalf.
• If you create your Auto Scaling group with a launch template, you must add the following permissions:
  • ec2:RunInstances
  • ec2:CreateTags
  • iam:PassRole
    For more information, see Step 2: Create a service role, Creating a launch template for an Auto Scaling group, and Launch template support in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
• Create and use a revision that is compatible with an Ubuntu Server instance and CodeDeploy. For your revision, you can do one of the following:
  • Create and use the sample revision in Step 2: Create a sample application revision in the Tutorial: Deploy an application to an on-premises instance with CodeDeploy (Windows Server, Ubuntu Server, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux) tutorial.
  • Create a revision on your own, see Working with application revisions for CodeDeploy.
• Create a Security Group named CodeDeployDemo-AS-SG with the following Inbound rule:
  • Type: HTTP
  • Source: Anywhere
    This is required to view your application and verify deployment success. For information on how to create a Security Group, see Creating a security group in the Amazon EC2 user guide.
