canary deployment with aws codedeploy for autoscaling groups

[akshay-narayan]

Can we have canary deployment in place for autoscaling groups in AWS codedeploy. Recently, aws have made changes to allow ECS to have canary deployments, checking to see if autoscaling groups support the same.

Hi Akshay,

Thanks for posting your question. As far as I know, AWS CodeDeploy has extended blue/green deployment support for Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) to include canary and linear deployments for applications hosted on AWS Fargate or Amazon Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). Here’s the link for more details:

When you create a Deployment group for your CodeDeploy deployment, you can specify Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups in the Environment configuration:
