New feature: Build and run Docker containers on AWS ECS

We're happy to announce that Buddy now supports deployments to the AWS ECS! Amazon Elastic Container Service is a scalable container orchestration service that lets you run Docker containers on the Amazon infrastructure.

With Buddy, you can easily create a delivery pipeline that will Dockerize your application, push it to the ECR registry, and launch it on the ECS:

Pipeline example

The action registers a new revision of the task definition from a JSON file and updates the ECS service using this revision. It waits until the deployment has finished and fails in case there is an error during the deployment:

Other AWS integrations

If you are an AWS developer, you can use Buddy to automate your tasks across a series of services: from updating assets on S3, to EB & CodeDeploy uploads, running Lambda scripts and CLI commands, to purging CloudFront cache. Integration is very simple and requires authenticating in your AWS account with proper policies.
