Deployment Workflow
The typical deployment workflow includes:
- Project Analysis: Use
LOCAL_AnalyzeDeployStackto identify the project's technology stack and deployment method - Build Artifacts: Build or package the application locally (e.g., create tar.gz or zip files)
- Deploy Application: Use
OOS_CodeDeployto deploy the application to ECS instances- Automatically creates application and application group if they don't exist
- Uploads artifacts to OSS
- Deploys to specified ECS instances
- Monitor Deployment: Use
OOS_GetDeployStatusto check deployment status
