Code Deploy Failure

Question

I'm trying to deploy an application using Pipeline, but the deployment is failing every time. I have granted the permissions, and the agent is also running in the EC2 instance, but I'm getting this error each time "CodeDeploy agent was not able to receive the lifecycle event. Check the CodeDeploy agent logs on your host and make sure the agent is running and can connect to the CodeDeploy server."

Answer

The error you are seeing is quite common and usually IAM permissions use to be the cause but there can be other reasons as well.

Can you make sure of following:

1. Make sure Instance Profile (role) attached to my EC2.
2. EC2 instance should have AmazonEC2RoleforAWSCodeDeploy.
3. CodeDeploy should have CodeDeployRole.
4. If you are using the deployment group, then does that deployment group has this EC2 machine?

Did you check the agent log, if you see anything there that could give more details.

Hello.  
If you check the log of the CodeDeploy agent, you will see an error output.  
Would it be possible for you to share that error with us?
