Anyway, onto today’s project, which builds on the last four we’ve completed! Today, we’ll dive into deploying an app with AWS CodeDeploy, thanks to Nextwork.org for their amazing AWS learning projects.

• CodeDeploy: AWS service to automate code deployments.
• CloudFormation: Automates resource creation using templates.
• Apache Tomcat: this is a web server that specifically handles Java applications.
