Which AWS service allows for the orchestration of application deployment?

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is the service specifically designed for the orchestration of application deployment. It simplifies the process of deploying, managing, and scaling web applications and services quickly and securely. Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment details such as resource provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, and application health monitoring, allowing developers to focus on writing code rather than managing infrastructure.

With Elastic Beanstalk, you can deploy applications developed in several programming languages and frameworks, and it provides a managed environment that takes care of selecting the appropriate resources while offering easy integration with other AWS services. This orchestration capability makes it distinct, as it provides developers a high-level way to manage the deployment lifecycle of their applications without needing in-depth knowledge of the underlying infrastructure and service configurations.

While other options also support aspects of deployment, they do not focus primarily on application orchestration. AWS CodeBuild is geared towards building applications from source code, AWS CloudFormation is used for infrastructure as code and provides a way to model and provision AWS resources, and AWS Step Functions is focused on coordinating multiple AWS services into serverless workflows. These functionalities complement the deployment process, but none serve the specific purpose of simplifying application deployment with built-in orchestration as directly as Elastic Beanstalk
