Is it possible to use AWS CodePipeline with Lightsail?

Today, 08/16/2017, it's not possible to integrate them.

I asked the same question on AWS forums and they replied that those technologies are not integrated yet since they are separated from each other.

Well I guess I'll have to find another way.

i’m not a total expert here, but I think the way to do it would be with a custom script in CodeBuild, rather than with CodeDeploy.

CodeDeploy has a lot of custom stuff going on to support rollbacks and that sorr of advanced stuff (means you have to install the agent on your target server etc).

CodeBuild is just made for running scripts, so I think it’d be reasonable to add a deploy script (that runs after your tests) that connects up to yor Lightsail instance via SSH and deploy any changed files (similar to how you’d do it in open source using Travis CI etc).

Specifically I’ve used the dploy package on npm to do the actual SFTP upload before. It’s Git-aware so it only uploads changes since the last revision (but you could just rsync if you didn’t care about that).

I recently had the same challenge and got it working.

It is necessary to register the Lightsail Instance as an on-premise instance with CodeDeploy. On the instance itself the CodeDeploy agent needs to be installed and configured.

I have written a post about how to set this up on my blog.
