AWS ECS

What it does

The action deploys to Amazon ECS. Amazon Elastic Container Service is a highly scalable, high-performance container orchestration service that supports Docker containers and allows you to easily run and scale containerized applications on AWS.

How it works

This action registers a new revision of the task definition and updates the ECS service using the deployed revision. It waits until the deployment has finished and fails in case there is an error during the deployment. The JSON file with task definition deployed in this action, is taken from the pipeline’s filesystem so it can be generated by a previous action, a step in a pipeline launched before this action.
