AWS cli: Document ec2DeploymentOptions Auto Scaling process suspension in CodeDeploy

Service: cli · 2026-10-20 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/deploy/batch-get-deployment-groups.md · Type: iam

Summary

Adds documentation for the ec2DeploymentOptions structure returned by batch-get-deployment-groups, describing autoScalingGroupProcessesToSuspend (Terminate, AZRebalance, InstanceRefresh, ScheduledActions), the service-role permissions required, and a note that suspended Terminate prevents Auto Scaling from replacing unhealthy instances. Also bumps the CLI version footer to 2.38.2.

Security assessment

The change documents a new deployment option and its operational/availability caveats, including the IAM permissions the CodeDeploy service role needs on Auto Scaling groups; this is hardening/operational guidance with security-adjacent IAM implications, not a fix for a specific vulnerability.

Evidence

>>>> The service role for the deployment group must have permission to call `autoscaling:SuspendProcesses` and `autoscaling:ResumeProcesses` on the target Auto Scaling groups. If the processes cannot be suspended, the deployment fails before any instance is updated.

+>>>> The Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling processes to suspend during the deployment.

Valid values are `Terminate` , `AZRebalance` , `InstanceRefresh` , and `ScheduledActions` .

+>>>> The service role for the deployment group must have permission to call `autoscaling:SuspendProcesses` and `autoscaling:ResumeProcesses` on the target Auto Scaling groups. If the processes cannot be suspended, the deployment fails before any instance is updated.
+>>>> 
+>>>> If you suspend `ScheduledActions` , scheduled actions with a start time during the deployment are skipped and do not run after the process resumes.
+>>>> 
+>>>> ### Note
+>>>> 
+>>>> If CodeDeploy cannot resume the processes, the deployment fails and the processes stay suspended until you resume them with the Auto Scaling `ResumeProcesses` action. While `Terminate` is suspended, Auto Scaling does not replace unhealthy instances. If you suspend `Terminate` , configure a trigger that notifies you when a deployment fails.
