Codedeploy detect EC2 when using lambda to start EC2

0

I want to build a deploy solution such that when code pipeline run, after pull code from git, I want to trigger lambda to start EC2 instance and tag it with key/value: like deploy = true. In Codedeploy setup for instance, when I use that tag for deployed-instance, of course codedeploy cannot find that instance. I want to know that if can I setup that beforehand, after that codedeploy will auto find the instance when go to deploy stage ?

Hi

Check these steps to resolve issue:

I'd be glad to assist you with setting up CodeDeploy to detect EC2 instances started by Lambda and tagged with "deploy=true".

Lambda Function

  • Create a Lambda function to start EC2 instances.
  • Use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to interact with EC2.
  • Include the following steps:
  • Create an EC2 instance using the desired configuration (e.g., instance type, AMI).
  • Tag the instance with "deploy=true".
  • Wait for the instance to reach a running state before proceeding with deployment.

CodePipeline

  • Create a CodePipeline pipeline to automate the deployment process.
  • Add a source stage to fetch code from your Git repository.
  • Add a build stage (if necessary) to compile or package your code.
  • Add a deploy stage to trigger the Lambda function.

CodeDeploy

  • Create a CodeDeploy application and deployment group.
  • Configure the deployment group to target EC2 instances with the "deploy=true" tag.
  • Set up deployment settings (e.g., revision, deployment configuration).

Troubleshooting

  • Verify Lambda Function:
  • Ensure the Lambda function starts EC2 instances correctly and tags them with "deploy=true".
  • Check for any errors in the Lambda function logs.
  • CodePipeline:
  • Verify that the pipeline triggers the Lambda function successfully.
  • Inspect the pipeline execution history for any errors.
  • CodeDeploy:
  • Ensure the deployment group is configured to target instances with the correct tag.
  • Check the CodeDeploy deployment history for any errors or warnings.
  • EC2 Instance:
  • Verify that the EC2 instance is running and has the "deploy=true" tag.
  • Check the instance status and any associated errors.

  • Thanks you for your response. I have tested and it work just perfectly. I have some problem with lambda as stage but I managed to fix this
