# Create a CodeDeploy Application
<a name="gui-ex-create-cd-app"></a>

The CodeDeploy application is simply a name or container used by AWS CodeDeploy to ensure that the correct revision, deployment configuration, and deployment group are referenced during a deployment. The deployment configuration, in this case, is the WordPress bundle that you previously created. 

REQUIRED DATA:
+ `VpcId`: The VPC that you are using, this should be the same as the previously used VPC.
+ `CodeDeployApplicationName`: Must be unique in the account. Look at the CodeDeploy Console to check for existing application names.
