AWS::CodeDeploy::Application - AWS CloudFormation
Filter View

The AWS::CodeDeploy::Application resource creates an AWS CodeDeploy application. In CodeDeploy, an application is a name that functions as a container to ensure that the correct combination of revision, deployment configuration, and deployment group are referenced during a deployment. You can use the AWS::CodeDeploy::DeploymentGroup resource to associate the application with a CodeDeploy deployment group. For more information, see CodeDeploy Deployments in the AWS CodeDeploy User Guide.

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{ "Type" : "AWS::CodeDeploy::Application", "Properties" : { "ApplicationName" : String, "ComputePlatform" : String, "Tags" : [ Tag, ... ] } }

YAML

Type: AWS::CodeDeploy::Application Properties: ApplicationName: String ComputePlatform: String Tags: - Tag

Properties
