Has anyone successfully used codedeploy on Ubuntu?

Question

I'm trying to to use AWS codedeploy on ubuntu. The Agent does not start. Here's what the Userdata looks like:

"UserData" : {
                    "Fn::Base64" : {
...
                                "# Install the AWS CodeDeploy Agent.\n",
                                "aws s3 cp 's3://aws-codedeploy-us-east-1/latest/codedeploy-agent.noarch.rpm' . \n",
                                "apt-get install alien",
                                "alien /root/codedeploy-agent.noarch.rpm",
                                "dpkg -i codedeploy-agent_1.0-2.727_all.deb 
> codedeploy-agent.log"****

There's no need to use alien. There is an official deb package as well. s3://aws-codedeploy-us-east-1/latest/codedeploy-agent_all.deb

You should use the install script at s3://aws-codedeploy-us-east-1/latest/install to automatically download the latest release of the agent. Here's the user data example for Ubuntu in us-east-1 here:

#!/bin/bash apt-get -y update apt-get -y install awscli apt-get -y install ruby2.0 cd /home/ubuntu aws s3 cp s3://bucket-name/latest/install . --region region-name chmod +x ./install ./install auto
