In-Place .>>This type of Code Deploy deployment updates existing applications directly (may result in down time). Blue/Green .>>This type of Code Deploy deployment replaces existing instances with new or pre-existing instances. This requires an autoscaling group (or manually provisioned instances) OR a load balancer. T .>>T/F: There is NO direct integration between Code Deploy and Cloudwatch Logs. You would need to ensure the Code Deploy & Cloudwatch Logs agents are installed. triggers .>>To directly connect Code Deploy with (for example) an SNS topic, you can utilize _______. Manual .>>Rollback that occurs if a Code Deploy automatic rollback is not enabled. This simply allows you to rollback by redeploying the previous version/revision. deployment failure, alarm threshold met .>>What are the two automatic rollback options within Code Deploy? root directory .>>Where must the buildspec.yml file be placed by default (if you include it as part of the source code)? one .>>You can specify only ____ buildspec for a build project, regardless of the buildspec file's name. APPLICATION_NAME .>>The name of the application in CodeDeploy that is part of the current deployment (for example, WordPress_App).

(Hooks environment variable) Code Deploy .>>Tagging on-premise instances are only required/applicable for what AWS Service? IAM .>>To register on-premise instances for Code Deploy, you MUST use ______ to authenticate. IAM User IAM Role .>>What are the two ARN options used to authenticate requests with AWS Code Deploy for on-premise instances? small .>>IAM user ARN for authenticating requests for Code Deploy is useful for ______ number of instances. This is due to the administrative burden of having to create an IAM user per instance. sts, large .>>IAM role ARN for authenticating requests for Code Deploy utilizes _____ to generate temporary credentials. It is more secure and is recommended for ________ number of instances. shift traffic .>>With Code Deploy for Lambda, it allows you to _______ _______ from an existing lambda function(s) to the newly deployed version(s) with various deployment settings. Linear .>>Code Deploy deployment setting in which traffic is shifted in equal increments with an equal number of minutes in between each increment. (Gradual shift) Canary .>>Code Deployment deployment settting in which traffic is shifted in TWO increments. You choose a predefined option that specify the percentage of traffic shifted to lambda in the first increment, interval in mins in between, then the remaining percentage of traffic is shifted in the second increment.
