Use CreateDeployment with an AWS SDK or CLI

Example 1: To create a CodeDeploy deployment using the EC2/On-premises compute platform

The following create-deployment example creates a deployment and associates it with the user's AWS account.

aws deploy create-deployment \
    --application-name WordPress_App \
    --deployment-config-name CodeDeployDefault.OneAtATime \
    --deployment-group-name WordPress_DG \
    --description "My demo deployment" \
    --s3-location bucket=CodeDeployDemoBucket,bundleType=zip,eTag=dd56cfdEXAMPLE8e768f9d77fEXAMPLE,key=WordPressApp.zip

Output:

{
    "deploymentId": "d-A1B2C3111"
}

Example 2: To create a CodeDeploy deployment using the Amazon ECS compute platform

The following create-deployment example uses the following two files to deploy an Amazon ECS service.

Contents of create-deployment.json file:

{
    "applicationName": "ecs-deployment",
    "deploymentGroupName": "ecs-deployment-dg",
    "revision": {
        "revisionType": "S3",
        "s3Location": {
            "bucket": "ecs-deployment-bucket",
            "key": "appspec.yaml",
            "bundleType": "YAML"
        }
    }
}

That file, in turn, retrieves the following file appspec.yaml from an S3 bucket called ecs-deployment-bucket.

version: 0.0
Resources:
  - TargetService:
      Type: AWS::ECS::Service
      Properties:
        TaskDefinition: "arn:aws:ecs:region:123456789012:task-definition/ecs-task-def:2"
        LoadBalancerInfo:
          ContainerName: "sample-app"
          ContainerPort: 80
        PlatformVersion: "LATEST"

Command:

aws deploy create-deployment \
    --cli-input-json file://create-deployment.json \
    --region us-east-1

Output:

{
    "deploymentId": "d-1234ABCDE"
}

For more information, see CreateDeployment in the AWS CodeDeploy API Reference.

Example 1: This example creates a new deployment for the specified application and deployment group with the specified deployment configuration and application revision.

New-CDDeployment -ApplicationName MyNewApplication -S3Location_Bucket amzn-s3-demo-bucket -S3Location_BundleType zip -DeploymentConfigName CodeDeployDefault.OneAtATime -DeploymentGroupName MyNewDeploymentGroup -IgnoreApplicationStopFailures $True -S3Location_Key aws-codedeploy_linux-master.zip -RevisionType S3

Output:

d-ZHROG7UEX

Example 2: This example shows how to specify groups of EC2 instance tags that an instance must be identified by in order for it to be included in the replacement environment for a blue/green deployment.

New-CDDeployment -ApplicationName MyNewApplication -S3Location_Bucket amzn-s3-demo-bucket -S3Location_BundleType zip -DeploymentConfigName CodeDeployDefault.OneAtATime -DeploymentGroupName MyNewDeploymentGroup -IgnoreApplicationStopFailures $True -S3Location_Key aws-codedeploy_linux-master.zip -RevisionType S3 -Ec2TagSetList @(@{Key="key1";Type="KEY_ONLY"},@{Key="Key2";Type="KEY_AND_VALUE";Value="Value2"}),@(@{Key="Key3";Type="VALUE_ONLY";Value="Value3"})

Output:

d-ZHROG7UEX
