Preparation

Infrastructure Setup

Before participating in the CI/CD on ECS workshop, it’s recommended that you complete the following two workshops to build a strong foundation in AWS infrastructure and the process of deploying containers on ECS:

Completing these workshops will help you set up the essential infrastructure components for configuring CI/CD on ECS, including:

  • VPC network infrastructure
  • Database instance on Amazon RDS
  • Image pushed to Docker Hub or Amazon ECR
  • Amazon Cloud Map for service discovery
  • ECS cluster hosting your application’s containers
  • Application Load Balancer for load distribution
  • Application deployed as a container on ECS

With these infrastructure elements in place, we’ll proceed to the next step of setting up an automated CI/CD pipeline on ECS, completing your application deployment lifecycle.
