• Step 4: Click Launch Instances. Name Application and Review Application Revision
• Step 5: Create a Deployment Group – set of individual EC2 instances that CodeDeploy deploys revisions to and has individually tagged instances, Amazon EC2 instances in Auto Scaling groups, or both. Following is to be done by specifying the Amazon EC2 instances to deploy by entering the key-value pair
• Step 6: Create a Service Role – Grant AWS CodeDeploy permission to deploy to instances by creating a role for it.
