Abstract: Functionality is disclosed for automated deployment of applications. A network-based deployment service provides functionality for deploying software components to physical or virtual hosts in a service provider network and/or to hosts in other types of networks external to the service provider network. A user of the deployment service creates an application revision that includes deployable content and an application specification defining how the application is to be deployed and one or more lifecycle events. The application revision is then uploaded to a storage service, source code repository, or other location. A deployment configuration is also created that defines the location of the application revision, a deployment group, and a schedule for the deployment. A deployment agent executing on hosts in the deployment group obtains the application revision from the specified location, deploys the deployable content according to the schedule, and performs the lifecycle events.
