SourceDeploy overview

Available in Classic and VPC

SourceDeploy is an automated deployment service that automatically deploys and applies new or updated sources to servers.

You can use SourceDeploy to automate source deployment, run, and validation through pre-defined custom commands, and to minimize service interruption during deployment.

You can also use SourceDeploy to control deployment via deployment manager and to apply the necessary deployments only to ensure service quality.
