### [Read this on the main serverless docs site](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/cli-reference/deploy) # AWS - deploy The `sls deploy` command deploys your entire service via CloudFormation. Run this command when you have made infrastructure changes (i.e., you edited `serverless.yml`). Use `serverless deploy function -f myFunction` when you have made code changes and you want to quickly upload your updated code to AWS Lambda. ```bash serverless deploy ``` ## Options - `--stage` or `-s` The stage in your service that you want to deploy to. - `--region` or `-r` The region in that stage that you want to deploy to. - `--noDeploy` or `-n` Skips the deployment steps and leaves artifacts in the `.serverless` directory - `--verbose` or `-v` Shows all stack events during deployment, and display any Stack Output. ## Artifacts After the `serverless deploy` command runs all created deployment artifacts are placed in the `.serverless` folder of the service. ## Examples ### Deployment without stage and region options ```bash serverless deploy ``` This is the simplest deployment usage possible. With this command Serverless will deploy your service to the defined provider in the default stage (`dev`) to the default region (`us-east-1`). ### Deployment with stage and region options ```bash serverless deploy --stage production --region eu-central-1 ``` With this example we've defined that we want our service to be deployed to the `production` stage in the region `eu-central-1`. ## Provided lifecycle events - `deploy:cleanup` - `deploy:initialize` - `deploy:setupProviderConfiguration` - `deploy:createDeploymentArtifacts` - `deploy:compileFunctions` - `deploy:compileEvents` - `deploy:deploy` - `deploy:function:deploy`
