AWS CodePipeline adds native Amazon EC2 deployment support

AWS CodePipeline introduces a new action to deploy to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). This action enables you to easily deploy your application to a group of EC2 instances behind load balancers.

Previously, if you wanted to deploy to EC2 instances, you had to use CodeDeploy with an AppSpec file to configure the deployment. Now, you can simply use this new EC2 deploy action in your pipeline to deploy to EC2 instances, without the necessity of managing CodeDeploy resources. This streamlined approach reduces your operational overhead and simplifies your deployment process.

To learn more about using the EC2 deploy action in your pipeline, visit our tutorial and documentation. For more information about AWS CodePipeline, visit our product page. This new action is available in all regions where AWS CodePipeline is supported, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions.
