# Use AutoSpotting with AWS CodeDeploy
## CodeDeploy Limitations
- Doesn't work on spot instances natively
- Doesn't work on instances that aren't booted by the autoscaling group
## Why this method
This method is to allow for AutoSpotting and spot instances to work around the
limitations of CodeDeploy and get our code on newly booted spot instances
## CodeDeploy Console
- Setup the AWS CodeDeploy Deployment Groups to use Tag Groups
- Groups should be based around the autoscaling groups you plan to use
- For example:
- Environment:staging
- Product:nginx
- Role:web
## Instance AMI Scripts
### get-meta
- This file will be sourced into our deployment script
- [get-meta](https://gist.github.com/cristim/82fc6bfe56c67a22ee264a0e3b655df5)
- Save this file to /usr/bin/get-meta on the AMI to be used
### check-codedeploy
- A simple version of a deployment script that is ran on-boot
- This file will need to be deployed to the same AMI
- [check-codedeploy](https://gist.github.com/cristim/7e9cd403fbf38aee18c4fb6a30bcef0a)
- If you are using Amazon Linux saving this file to `/etc/rc3.d/S99deploycode`
- This will make run it after all networking components are available
