How can I automate my AWS deployments using CircleCI?

You can automate AWS deployments with CircleCI by setting up a CI/CD pipeline that integrates with your AWS account.

What are the steps to set up this pipeline?

First, create a CircleCI configuration file, then define your jobs for building, testing, and deploying your application.

Do I need to configure any AWS permissions?

Yes, you'll need to set up IAM roles and policies in AWS to allow CircleCI to access your resources securely.

Can you give me an example of a CircleCI config file?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

version: 2.1
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: circleci/python:3.8
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run: python -m unittest discover
  deploy:
    machine: true
    steps:
      - run: aws s3 sync . s3://your-bucket-name
workflows:
  version: 2
  deploy:
    jobs:
      - build
      - deploy:
          requires:
            - build
