Which AWS service simplifies the process of deploying applications?

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is designed specifically to simplify the process of deploying and managing applications in the cloud. It provides a platform as a service (PaaS) that allows developers to upload their code, and the service automatically takes care of the deployment, from capacity provisioning, load balancing, and auto-scaling to application health monitoring. This abstraction allows developers to focus on writing code rather than managing infrastructure, making it an ideal solution for those looking to quickly and easily deploy applications.

In contrast, AWS CodeDeploy is focused on automating the deployment of applications to various compute services rather than simplifying the entire application deployment process. Amazon EC2 requires users to set up and manage the underlying virtual servers, which adds complexity. Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network service that optimizes the delivery of static and dynamic web content but does not provide a framework for application deployment.
