How to set up cross-account deploymetn fromCodeCommit repo to EC2 instance in another account

Question

Hi there,
Thanks for reading. I was asked to set up a cross-account deployment process. We have CodeComint repo in one account and we want to deploy any changes to EC2 instance in another account. It is a Drupal website that we are hosting in the EC2 instance with S3 bucket for the media files and RDS instance for the DB. I amnot sure how to approach it and how the whole process should look like. I will appreciate any tips. Thanks.

Answer

Hi, Jakub

You run Code Pipeline on Account A triggered by Code Commit in Account A.  
By specifying CodeDeploy for account B in that deployment configuration, the CodeDeploy agent configured for account B will run on the EC2 instance for account B.

You can achieve cross-account access by setting your IAM role correctly.
