So I'm following this tutorial: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/using-aws-codedeploy-and-aws-codepipeline-to-deploy-applications-to-amazon-lightsail/

Which has worked admirably up until the point at which I had to actually run the deploy step. The event log thing

I can't find any decent logs of anything that might have happened in the CodeDeploy deployment web interface. The logs at /var/log/aws/codedeploy-agent/codedeploy-agent.log are sorta helpful

I think the core thing there is maybe that ssl thing. Was I supposed to have done some sort of ssl thing? I haven't done anything at all.

I found this: https://serverfault.com/questions/767680/amazon-codedeploy-failing-on-invalid-certificate/962350 Which seems to be similar/the same, but restarting the LightSail instance didn't seem to help, and it does seem like it has internet.

I appreciate any help you've got, thanks a lot!

Finally figured it out - I had been using the location: us-east-2a for everything because that's what it said on my lightsail instance. Apparently, the "a" is not actually part of it, and somehow that was causing the SSL issue I was seeing.

I had to go into /etc/codedeploy-agent/conf/codedeploy.onpremises.yml and change the region name to us-east-2.

I hope this saves at least one person from having this super confusing issue.
