AWS CodeDeploy Supports Local Testing and Debugging
You can now locally test and debug your deployment through the updated AWS CodeDeploy agent. The updated agent is a software package that, when installed on an instance, enables the instance to be used in CodeDeploy deployments and provides a command line interface for troubleshooting.
Previously, if you wanted to test and debug your deployment, you had to fully configure AWS CodeDeploy. This includes installing the agent on the target host, creating a CodeDeploy Application, and creating a CodeDeploy Deployment Group. Now, you can execute a deployment directly on a local machine or instance where the CodeDeploy agent is installed. If your deployment has errors, you can easily find and view the error logs by accessing the agent with your terminal. This makes it faster and easier to find and fix bugs before configuring CodeDeploy for production.
To learn how to deploy locally with AWS CodeDeploy, go here. If you already use CodeDeploy, you can enable local deployment testing by updating your agent to version 1.0.1.1352 or later. To learn more about using AWS CodeDeploy, visit the documentation.
