To practice deploying to an Amazon EC2 instance running Windows Server instead, see Tutorial: Deploy a "hello, world!" application with CodeDeploy (Windows Server).

To practice deploying to an on-premises instance instead of an Amazon EC2 instance, see Tutorial: Deploy an application to an on-premises instance with CodeDeploy (Windows Server, Ubuntu Server, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux).
This tutorial's steps are presented from the perspective of a local development machine
running Linux, macOS, or Unix. Although you can complete most of these steps on a local machine running
Windows, you must adapt the steps that cover commands such as chmod and
wget, applications such as sed, and directory paths such as
/tmp
.
Before you start this tutorial, you must complete the prerequisites in Getting started with CodeDeploy. These include configuring a user, installing or upgrading the AWS CLI, and creating an IAM instance profile and a service role.
