To practice deploying to an on-premises instance instead, see Tutorial: Deploy an application to an on-premises instance with CodeDeploy (Windows Server, Ubuntu Server, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux).
This tutorial's steps are presented from a Windows perspective. Although you can complete
most of these steps on a local machine running Linux, macOS, or Unix, you must adapt those that cover
Windows-based directory paths such as c:\temp. Also, if you want to connect
to the Amazon EC2 instance, you need a client application that can connect through Remote Desktop
Protocol (RDP) to the Amazon EC2 instance running Windows Server. (Windows includes an RDP connection
client application by default.)
Before you start this tutorial, you must complete the prerequisites in Getting started with CodeDeploy, including configuring your user, installing or upgrading the AWS CLI, and creating an IAM instance profile and a service role.
