awsDeploy
This plugin (re)deploys the service to AWS.
How it works
awsDeploy starts by hooking into the deploy:initializeResources lifecycle.
It fetches the basic CloudFormation template from lib/templates and replaces the necessary names and definitions
with the one it gets from the serverless.yaml file.
Furthermore the resources section of the serverless.yaml file is parsed and merged into the core CloudFormation
template (this makes sure that custom resources the user has defined inside the serverless.yaml file are added correctly).
The parsed resources are attached to the Service class. You can access them like this:
serverless.service.resources.aws.Resources
Note:
Other plugins (e.g. the awsCompileFunctions plugin) use this Resources property to add the compiled resources by
merging them in.
Next up it hooks into the deploy:createProviderStacks lifecycle and deploys the
previously created CloudFormation template to AWS.
At the end it hooks into deploy:deploy lifecycle to zip the lambda function and
uploads it to the core S3 bucket (which is defined in the core CloudFormation template). Furthermore it updates the
stack with all the Resources which are defined in serverless.service.resources.aws.Resources.
The stack status is checked every 5 seconds with the help of the CloudFormation API. It will return a success message if
the stack status is CREATE_COMPLETE or UPDATE_COMPLETE (depends if you deploy your service for the first time or
redeploy it after making some changes).
