Overview

The Laravel CodeDeploy Template is an essential tool for efficiently deploying Laravel applications on AWS. It simplifies the process of managing deployments across an autoscaling group, ensuring that your application runs smoothly and can scale according to traffic demands. By leveraging AWS CodeDeploy, this template provides a streamlined method to automate deployment and management, making it an invaluable resource for developers looking to enhance their workflow.

The setup involves creating necessary IAM roles, configuring your application environment, and ensuring that your server is ready to handle the framework's requirements. With the use of pre-baked policies and a detailed setup process, this template guides you through everything you need to get your Laravel project up and running in the cloud.

Features

  • IAM Roles Setup: Requires creation of specific IAM roles like code-deploy-role and code-deploy-ec2-instance-role, essential for deployment processes.

  • Compatible AMI: Utilizes a pre-configured Ubuntu 16.04 AMI through a provision.sh script, ensuring compatibility and readiness for deployment.

  • Load Balancer Configuration: Supports a classic load balancer with sticky connections to maintain user session integrity, offering better performance for running applications.

  • AWS Launch Configuration: Facilitates the creation of launch configurations and autoscaling groups that automatically manage instances based on application load.

  • CodeDeploy Integration: Automates deployment processes by allowing the creation of CodeDeploy applications tied directly to your autoscaling group.

  • S3 Bucket Setup: Requires an S3 bucket structured with bundles and env folders, helping to organize application resources and configurations.

  • Automated Build Script: Includes bundle.sh, which handles archiving of your Laravel application and uploads it seamlessly to your S3 bucket for deployment.

  • Provisioning Script: The provision.sh script installs and configures essential software, including NGINX and PHP, ensuring that your application environment is fully prepared to run.
