AWS – AWS CodePipeline now supports Deploy Spec file in EC2 deploy action

AWS CodePipeline now supports Deploy Spec file configurations in the EC2 Deploy action, enabling you to specify deployment parameters directly in your source repository. You can now include either a Deploy Spec file name or deploy configurations in your EC2 Deploy action. The action accepts Deploy Spec files in YAML format and maintains compatibility with existing CodeDeploy AppSpec files.

The deployment debugging experience for large-scale EC2 deployments is also enhanced. Previously, customers relied solely on action execution logs to track deployment status across multiple instances. While these logs provide comprehensive deployment details, tracking specific instance statuses in large deployments was challenging. The new deployment monitoring interface displays real-time status information for individual EC2 instances, eliminating the need to search through extensive logs to identify failed instances. This improvement streamlines troubleshooting for deployments targeting multiple EC2 instances.
