No, the appspec.yaml file is not always required to use AWS CodeDeploy. The appspec.yaml file is used to specify the deployment actions to be taken by CodeDeploy, but it is only necessary if you are using the "Application" deployment type. If you are using the "Blue/Green" or "In-place" deployment types, the appspec.yaml file is not required.No, appspec.yaml is not always required for AWS CodeDeploy. It's only necessary for "Application" deployment type.

  • Thanks for answer I think the application is default but there are two types of deployments 1. in-place 2. blue-green (mainly for load balancing) can you please answer why the YAML file needs for in-place and not blue-gree Thanks.

It's the appspec.yaml file that defines the deployment processes in your project. If you dont have that I'm not sure how you would:

  • Map the source files in your application revision to their destinations on the instance.
  • Specify custom permissions for deployed files.
  • Specify scripts to be run on each instance at various stages of the deployment process (hooks).

The appspec.yaml is applicable whether doing blue/green or in-place deployment.
