Expert take

“CodeDeploy automates rolling, blue/green, and canary deployments to EC2, Lambda, and ECS. Automatic rollback on CloudWatch alarm failures protects production.” |
“CodePipeline orchestrates the entire release process: source, build, test, deploy, approve. V2 pipelines support parallel stages and triggers from multiple sources. Pair it with CodeBuild for builds and CodeDeploy or CloudFormation for deployment targets.” |
