Step 5: Deploying a configuration
Starting a deployment in AWS AppConfig calls the StartDeployment API action. This call includes the IDs of the AWS AppConfig application, the environment, the configuration profile, and (optionally) the configuration data version to deploy. The call also includes the ID of the deployment strategy to use, which determines how the configuration data is deployed.
AWS AppConfig monitors the distribution to all hosts and reports status. If a distribution fails, then AWS AppConfig rolls back the configuration.
