CodeDeploy then reroutes load balancer traffic from an existing set of instances running the previous version of your application to the new set of instances running the latest version. After traffic is rerouted to the new instances, the existing instances can be terminated. Blue/green deployments allow you to test the new application version before sending production traffic to it.

Additionally, the instances provisioned for the blue/green deployment will reflect the most up-to-date server configurations since they are new. Problem with Blue/Green deployment is that once the fleet is replaces, if you had any EIP attached to the older instances, you have to manually reattch them to the new fleet. Her

For every critical skill invocation like shutting down instance or resource cleanup we require customers provide Verification Code(OTP) that is shown in Alexa App. This makes sure to avoid any unauthorised access to the  autobotAI  skill. It WILL NOT execute any critical tasks until the user is verified. This is a small inconvinience for security untill we have have voice recognition base authentication in place. Here's some of the t
