Research direction

Start by reviewing the Jenkins plugin's deployment configuration and how it invokes AWS CodeDeploy for blue-green EC2 deployments. Compare the available plugin fields with the CodeDeploy console's green-instance tag inputs; done means users can provide the required green tags and deployments select the intended instances.

Description

Hi,

We are trying to use the plugin to trigger CodeDeploy blue-green deployment for EC2 instances.
The blue instance tags are added in the Deployment group configuration.
To select the green instances we have to add the green tags during deployment as shown in the console screenshot:
Green tagged Instances

But this option isn't available in the Jenkins plugin:
Jenkins Plugin1

As a result, all the deployments are failing due to no available Green instances:
Code Deploy Failure

Is there a way to add the Green tags for EC2 instances, we cannot use ASG hence we have to stick with EC2 instances but the plugin doesn't seem to have the option to add these green tags.

Thanks!
