You can read [this blog post](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/building-a-ci-cd-pipeline-for-multi-region-deployment-with-aws-codepipeline/) that explains how to create a multi-region deployment with AWS CodePipeline.

This blog post demonstrates [this CloudFormation template](https://github.com/ki2a/MultiRegionCodePipeline/blob/master/CF.yml) hosted on GitHub. Essentially, you need to specify your target region in your CodeDeploy action:

```yaml
          - Name: !Ref OtherRegion1
              InputArtifacts:
                - Name: Source
              ActionTypeId:
                Category: Deploy
                Owner: AWS
                Version: '1'
                Provider: CloudFormation
              Configuration:
                ActionMode: CREATE_UPDATE
                RoleArn: !GetAtt CloudFormationServiceRole.Arn
                Capabilities: CAPABILITY_IAM,CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND
                StackName: !Join
                  - '-'
                  - - !Ref 'AWS::StackName'
                    - TestStack1
                TemplatePath: Source::CF/MultiRegionDeployment.yml
              RunOrder: 6
              Region: !Ref OtherRegion1
```
