AWS CodeDeploy Pros and Cons

I like the automation ability that it gives us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The configuration process from the BitBucket pipeline to the CodeDeploy automation was very tedious. Wish there was good documentation for this process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CodeDeploy is a free and simple solution to use, for those who want to experiment with this solution for deployment, I think you should it could be a game changer, it will make your solution be able to deploy from a base image and with the right configuration you'll be able to create a deployment script for the appspec yaml to follow to create your application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it does take a new user sometime to get your head round all the different appspec configurations scripts you could do it is a lot of trail and error and it can take ages to get the IAM policy configured as this is a lot of trail and error for us and in somecases had to consult AWS on best practice for this.

Ease of use with GitHub and other git platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It needs more focus on building code and crease out if there is any possible error in the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CodeDeploy is a great tool of AWS, it is to my liking because it has a very simple configuration, it works automatically so that manual work is left aside, allowing implementations to be carried out much faster and without downtime, In addition, the user chose their preferred development environment to carry out such tests, be it Amazon EC2, Lambda, among others; and the best thing is that it works with any application and can be easily integrated with other tools or environments such as AWS CodePipeline.

Its interface is somewhat difficult to understand but navigating a bit in it is achieved a good management of it is just a matter of adapting, so that rather than something negative would say it is a matter of practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like this great tool the fact that it can be easily integrated with other tools of constant delivery such as CodePipeline, GitHub, Jenkins, it is very easy to manage and configure, also allows an easy administration of software implementations no matter in what instances they want to execute and the best thing is that we can evaluate the status of each one of these, whether in AWS or CLI, it all depends on what the user decides and if it is about its costs, it is only necessary to pay for the resources that are used with CodeDeploy, that is to say, one pays for what is consumed neither more nor less.

AWS CodeDeploy is a tool with which we have not had any inconvenient so I have nothing negative to say about it, it works very well and is really very useful to streamline the implementations of the many business applications that are developed in small, medium or big enterprises.

i have been working with AWS code deploy for 1-2 years , the most amazing thing about AWs Code Deploy is that it is very easy to integrate AWS Code Deploy with other services , it is very convenient to configure applications , it also has a feture of rolling updates which saves our deployed application from entering into the inconsistence state which is very hard to recover back , we can also able to directly connect it with github very easily and rapidly , in case if your server faces any down time situation the AWS Code Deploy can able to minimize thre total downtime approx by half which is very impressive and practical mechanism used by AWS Code Deploy ! !

the user interface is not so attractive and easy to use , and pricing cost are little bit higher comparatively ! ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

By using AWS Codedeploy the company I work for has gone from a weekly deployment cadance to bi-daily deploys with less downtime then before. script maintenance was simple and it integrated well with our existing pipeline tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of good documentation for troubleshooting issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration to ec2 instances so you can deploy directly into the instance without doing any hard work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration with github it's a little bit complicated for such an easy tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very simple to use and is free for experimentation for those who want to get hang of deployment pipelines without investing too much money. I used codeDeploy with bitbucket and the bitbucket codeDeploy plugin was very easy to setup. The deployment configuration and groups are nice features.

You can control all the steps that happen when the deployment is happening. You can provision important updates, configure your VM's before installed an updated patch of your software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of steps involved in the setup and sometimes its difficult to keep track of all the details, if you are following the aws documentation (which, by the way, are very extensive and detailed). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
