Explanation

Reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/reference-appspec-file.html AppSpec files on an EC2/on-premises compute platform If your application uses the EC2/On-Premises compute platform, the AppSpec file must be a YAML-formatted file named appspec.yml and it must be placed in the root of the directory structure of an application's source code. Otherwise, deployments fail. It is used by CodeDeploy to determine: What it should install onto your instances from your application revision in Amazon S3 or GitHub Which lifecycle event hooks to run in response to deployment lifecycle events.
