Step 1: Create repository on Github.

Project must contain appspec.yml file in the root directory, which is used by the CodeDeploy service to manage deployment otherwise, deployments fail.

The following is the correct format for AppSpec file spacing. The numbers in square brackets indicate the number of spaces that must occur between items. For example, [4] means to insert four spaces between the items. CodeDeploy raises an error that might be difficult to debug if the locations and number of spaces in an AppSpec file are not correct.

version:[1]version-number os:[1]operating-system-name files: [2]-[1]source:[1]source-files-location [4]destination:[1]destination-files-location permissions: [2]-[1]object:[1]object-specification [4]pattern:[1]pattern-specification [4]except:[1]exception-specification [4]owner:[1]owner-account-name [4]group:[1]group-name [4]mode:[1]mode-specification [4]acls: [6]-[1]acls-specification [4]context: [6]user:[1]user-specification [6]type:[1]type-specification [6]range:[1]range-specification [4]type: [6]-[1]object-type hooks: [2]deployment-lifecycle-event-name: [4]-[1]location:[1]script-location [6]timeout:[1]timeout-in-seconds [6]runas:[1]user-name Here is an example of a correctly spaced AppSpec file:

version: 0.0os: linuxfiles:

• source: / destination: /var/www/html/WordPresshooks: BeforeInstall:
  • location: scripts/install_dependencies.sh timeout: 300 runas: root AfterInstall:
  • location: scripts/change_permissions.sh timeout: 300 runas: root ApplicationStart:
  • location: scripts/start_server.sh
  • location: scripts/create_test_db.sh timeout: 300 runas: root ApplicationStop:
  • location: scripts/stop_server.sh timeout: 300 runas: root The SOURCE file is index.html so ensure every other file within repository is linked to this.

Step 2: Create IAM roles for EC2 and CodeDeploy

Step 3: Launch an EC2 Instance

Create name, use Amazon Linux 2023 AMI, instance type t2.micro, key pair launch without key, IAM instance profile or role, select role created, customize security group, enable Metada v1 and v2 and under user data, input the following:

#!/bin/bash sudo yum -y update sudo yum -y install ruby sudo yum -y install wget cd /home/ec2-user wget https://aws-codedeploy-us-east-2.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/latest/install sudo chmod +x ./install sudo ./install auto sudo yum install -y python-pip sudo pip install awscli

Step 4: Create deployment Application on CodeDeploy

Also create a Deployment Group without load balancer.

Also create pipeline; skip build stage
