What does it do?

This command is used to run either copilot svc deploy or copilot job deploy under the hood. The steps involved in copilot deploy are the same as those involved in copilot svc deploy and copilot job deploy:

  1. Build your local Dockerfile into an image
  2. Tag it with the value from --tag or the latest git sha (if you're in a git directory)
  3. Push the image to ECR
  4. Package your manifest file and addons into CloudFormation
  5. Create / update your ECS task definition and job or service.

What are the flags?

  -a, --app string                     Name of the application.
  -e, --env string                     Name of the environment.
  -h, --help                           help for deploy
  -n, --name string                    Name of the service or job.
      --resource-tags stringToString   Optional. Labels with a key and value separated with commas.
                                       Allows you to categorize resources. (default [])
      --tag string                     Optional. The container image tag.
