Shorthand Syntax:

revisionType=string,s3Location={bucket=string,key=string,bundleType=string,version=string,eTag=string},gitHubLocation={repository=string,commitId=string},string={content=string,sha256=string},appSpecContent={content=string,sha256=string}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "revisionType": "S3"|"GitHub"|"String"|"AppSpecContent",
  "s3Location": {
    "bucket": "string",
    "key": "string",
    "bundleType": "tar"|"tgz"|"zip"|"YAML"|"JSON",
    "version": "string",
    "eTag": "string"
  },
  "gitHubLocation": {
    "repository": "string",
    "commitId": "string"
  },
  "string": {
    "content": "string",
    "sha256": "string"
  },
  "appSpecContent": {
    "content": "string",
    "sha256": "string"
  }
}

--deployment-config-name (string)

The name of a deployment configuration associated with the user or Amazon Web Services account.

If not specified, the value configured in the deployment group is used as the default. If the deployment group does not have a deployment configuration associated with it, CodeDeployDefault .``OneAtATime`` is used by default.

--description (string)

A comment about the deployment.

--ignore-application-stop-failures | --no-ignore-application-stop-failures (boolean)

If true, then if an ApplicationStop , BeforeBlockTraffic , or AfterBlockTraffic deployment lifecycle event to an instance fails, then the deployment continues to the next deployment lifecycle event. For example, if ApplicationStop fails, the deployment continues with DownloadBundle . If BeforeBlockTraffic fails, the deployment continues with BlockTraffic . If AfterBlockTraffic fails, the deployment continues with ApplicationStop .

If false or not specified, then if a lifecycle event fails during a deployment to an instance, that deployment fails. If deployment to that instance is part of an overall deployment and the number of healthy hosts is not less than the minimum number of healthy hosts, then a deployment to the next instance is attempted.

During a deployment, the CodeDeploy agent runs the scripts specified for ApplicationStop , BeforeBlockTraffic , and AfterBlockTraffic in the AppSpec file from the previous successful deployment. (All other scripts are run from the AppSpec file in the current deployment.) If one of these scripts contains an error and does not run successfully, the deployment can fail.

If the cause of the failure is a script from the last successful deployment that will never run successfully, create a new deployment and use ignoreApplicationStopFailures to specify that the ApplicationStop , BeforeBlockTraffic , and AfterBlockTraffic failures should be ignored.

--target-instances (structure)

Possible values:

  • DISALLOW
  • OVERWRITE
  • RETAIN

--override-alarm-configuration (structure)

Allows you to specify information about alarms associated with a deployment. The alarm configuration that you specify here will override the alarm configuration at the deployment group level. Consider overriding the alarm configuration if you have set up alarms at the deployment group level that are causing deployment failures. In this case, you would call CreateDeployment to create a new deployment that uses a previous application revision that is known to work, and set its alarm configuration to turn off alarm polling. Turning off alarm polling ensures that the new deployment proceeds without being blocked by the alarm that was generated by the previous, failed, deployment.

Note

If you specify an overrideAlarmConfiguration , you need the UpdateDeploymentGroup IAM permission when calling CreateDeployment .

enabled -> (boolean)

Indicates whether the alarm configuration is enabled.

ignorePollAlarmFailure -> (boolean)

Indicates whether a deployment should continue if information about the current state of alarms cannot be retrieved from Amazon CloudWatch. The default value is false.

  • true : The deployment proceeds even if alarm status information can't be retrieved from Amazon CloudWatch.
  • false : The deployment stops if alarm status information can't be retrieved from Amazon CloudWatch.

alarms -> (list)

A list of alarms configured for the deployment or deployment group. A maximum of 10 alarms can be added.

(structure)

Information about an alarm.

name -> (string)

The name of the alarm. Maximum length is 255 characters. Each alarm name can be used only once in a list of alarms.

Shorthand Syntax:

enabled=boolean,ignorePollAlarmFailure=boolean,alarms=[{name=string},{name=string}]

JSON Syntax:

{
  "enabled": true|false,
  "ignorePollAlarmFailure": true|false,
  "alarms": [
    {
      "name": "string"
    }
    ...
  ]
}

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

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.

Output

deploymentId -> (string)

The unique ID of a deployment.
