Question 320 of 1,616
AWS CodeDeploy Supported Deployment Strategies
This DVA-C02 practice question tests your understanding of deployment. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which THREE are valid deployment strategies in AWS CodeDeploy? (Choose three.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
AllAtOnce
AWS CodeDeploy supports two deployment types: in-place and blue/green. In-place deployments use deployment configurations that control the rate of traffic shifting, such as AllAtOnce, OneAtATime, and HalfAtATime. 'Rolling' is not a deployment configuration in CodeDeploy; it is a term used in other services like Elastic Beanstalk. Therefore, only AllAtOnce (A) and Blue/Green (E) are valid strategies from the options. Canary and Immutable are not supported by CodeDeploy.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates confuse AWS CodeDeploy's deployment strategies with those of other AWS services (like Elastic Beanstalk's Immutable or Lambda's Canary), leading them to select Immutable or Canary as valid CodeDeploy strategies when they are not.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
AWS CodeDeploy supports three deployment strategies for EC2/On-Premises: AllAtOnce (deploy to all instances at once), Rolling (deploy to a specified number or percentage of instances at a time, with a configurable batch size and wait time), and Blue/Green (replace the entire original environment with a new one, using a replacement Auto Scaling group or instances). For Lambda deployments, CodeDeploy supports Canary, Linear, and AllAtOnce traffic shifting, but these are traffic shifting configurations, not separate deployment strategies—the question specifically asks for deployment strategies in CodeDeploy, and the three valid ones for EC2/On-Premises are AllAtOnce, Rolling, and Blue/Green.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.

Same concept, more angles
1 more ways this is tested on DVA-C02
These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. Which TWO are valid deployment strategies supported by AWS CodeDeploy? (Choose TWO.)
easy- A.Immutable deployment
- ✓ B.In-place deployment
- C.Canary deployment
- D.All at once deployment
- ✓ E.Blue/Green deployment
Why B: AWS CodeDeploy supports in-place deployments (option B) where the application is updated on the existing instances without provisioning new ones. This is a valid deployment strategy that updates the current fleet by stopping and starting the application, and it is one of the two core strategies explicitly documented by AWS.
