Docker direct to AWS ECS

Implementing HTTPS with Docker services on AWS ECS using Docker Compose

(Fri Feb 05 2021 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time)) Thanks to a new Docker CLI feature we can directly deploy to AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) using a Docker Compose file. It's very cool, and greatly simplifies deploying applications to AWS, but it lacks an important feature which is implementing HTTPS support. The solution offered by the Docker team involves rewriting the Cloud Formation template they generate for us, so let's learn how it works.

Directly deploying a Docker service to AWS ECS using Docker Compose

(Thu Feb 06 2020 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time)) Deploying Docker services to AWS ECS is becoming much simpler thanks to new feature collaboration between the Docker and AWS teams. It is now possible to take a normal Docker Compose file, using modern Compose features, and deploy directly to AWS. Nothing complex or unusual is required, with all the complexity handled under the covers with a generated CloudFormation file. In this article we'll take a first look at using these features, which are in early release right now.
