I wanted to deploy automatically to commits to master after CI using CircleCI. CircleCi has built in scripts for using CodeDeploy, but they only support using S3 for the revisions. I couldn't get that to work and I enjoyed using GitHub for revisions anyway... If you provide your AWS credentials to CircleCI, they load whether you use CircleCI's automation scripts or not. Furthermore, they have preinstalled the AWS CLI as well.

We use Ubuntu for everything, so obviously this wouldn't work with OS X
