Question

A development team uses AWS CodeDeploy to deploy a Node.js application to an Amazon EC2/On-Premises deployment group. Their revision bundle is stored in Amazon S3 as a .zip file. During deployment, every attempt fails immediately with the error 'The deployment failed because no instances were found for your deployment group' does not appear, but instead the agent reports that the AppSpec file could not be located. Where must the AppSpec file be placed within the application revision so that the CodeDeploy agent can process it?

Accepted Answer

In the root directory of the application revision, named appspec.yml

Answer

In a /scripts subdirectory of the revision, named appspec.json

Answer

In the S3 bucket root, separate from the .zip revision, named deploy-config.yml

Answer

Anywhere in the revision as long as it is referenced by name in the CodeDeploy console
