AWS CodeDeploy could improve in several areas. While it handles everything and operates as a cloud service managed by AWS, its pricing can be reconsidered. There are too many options available for connecting repositories to AWS CodeDeploy for pulling code and building outputs. Additionally, it should provide more flexibility with the YAML structure, particularly in checking indentation within AWS CodeDeploy itself, instead of requiring third-party applications. Overall, it looks good without major drawbacks.
There are many tools in the market that cover different aspects, such as the GitOps methodology of deployment. I have not used CodeDeploy with EKS, although I have used it with ECS. I am not sure if CodeDeploy can be used with EKS, and I see this as a deficiency for end users. Easier implementation would be beneficial.

CodeDeploy is straightforward and doesn't have any noticeable cons. I have not given thought to any particular areas for improvement because the tool works well for me.
The cost could be improved. If it were more cost-effective, it would be great. CI/CD deployment is not an open and free tool. If I use the AWS cloud, it's very costly.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Octopus Deploy and others in Release Automation. Updated: October 2025.
People face difficulties creating pipelines in AWS CodeDeploy. AWS should provide its own templates in the console so that I don't need to go anywhere else to get the template for AWS CodeDeploy or AWS CodeBuild.
Improvements could be made to AWS CodeDeploy in terms of its agent's compatibility across different operating systems. Currently, there are instances where the agent may not work seamlessly with certain integrations, leading to issues with registering protocols on authorized servers.
