Can not run AWS CodeDeploy to Amazon Lightsail

Question

Hi, 
I have been following instruction from https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/using-aws-codedeploy-and-aws-codepipeline-to-deploy-applications-to-amazon-lightsail/ to  use codedploy to depoly app. 
 
While creating instance in lightsail i add below code in +Add launch script(all credentials & region provided):
```
mkdir /etc/codedeploy-agent/
mkdir /etc/codedeploy-agent/conf
cat <> /etc/codedeploy-agent/conf/codedeploy.onpremises.yml
---
aws_access_key_id: 
aws_secret_access_key: 
iam_user_arn: 
region: 
EOT
wget https://aws-codedeploy-us-west-2.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/latest/install
chmod +x ./install
sudo ./install auto
```

After creating intances, in the SSH command i: `sudo service codedeploy-agent status`. 
Error comes : 
```
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status codedeploy-agent.service
Unit codedeploy-agent.service could not be found.
```

I checked /etc/codedeploy-agent/conf/codedeploy.onpremises.yml file exist but codedeploy-agent.service file is not present in /etc/systemd/system/.

My humble asking is how to solve this. Please help me..

Thank you.

Answer

It appears to be related to the CodeDeploy agent either not being installed or failing to start correctly. Consider the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Check Installation Logs
> The logs are typically located at `/var/log/aws/codedeploy-agent/codedeploy-agent.log`.
2. Re-run the Installation Script
> [Install the CodeDeploy agent for Amazon Linux or RHEL](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/codedeploy-agent-operations-install-linux.html)
3. Ensure the Service is Enabled
> You can do this by running: **`sudo systemctl enable codedeploy-agent`**
4. Start the Service Manually
> If the service is not running, you can start it manually using the following command: **`sudo systemctl start codedeploy-agent`**
