For developers who are trying this out in 2022, please add 1 more policy in you IAM group : awsS3FullAccess, or else it will give out a error in deployment of the serverless.yaml file. S3 bucket permission denied ! . 🧑‍💻❤️

Thank you for the tutorial. I don't understand why in the GitHub Action, we didn't specify the line for installing the serverless package, which is useful for deployment.

If i run serverless deploy then my ts code is getting bundled ans single index.js file is being deployed but when i use this method entire code base is getting deployed .

[lesliechiu]

hi, I followed your steps and have two errors, and I fixed them; first, it showed" s3:CreateBucket Access Denied", I added S3FullAccess to that IAM User group; second, i had a "ROLLBack Complete" error, then I deleted it in AWS console and re-run the job. Finally problems resolved.

Thanks you, is a good video. I have a question: What if I have several serverless files, how can I reference them using this github action?

[lesliechiu]

hi, i just followed your steps. but I got this error :
CREATE_FAILED: ServerlessDeploymentBucket (AWS::S3::Bucket)
API: s3:CreateBucket Access Denied

Do we need to S3 in this video?
