Accelerate Amazon ECS-based workloads with ECS Blueprints

Introduction

We are introducing ECS Blueprints for AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) that makes it easier and faster to build container workloads for the Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). ECS Blueprints is a collection of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) open-source modules that help you configure and deploy container workloads on top of Amazon ECS cluster. Customers can use ECS Blueprints not only for beginning Amazon ECS journey but also for building specific workload like frontend service with Application Load Balancer (ALB) on the existing cluster. Also, ECS Blueprints shows the best practices for each scenario and provides reference architectures and solution patterns. This allows customers to speed up building Amazon ECS workloads because ECS Blueprints addresses end-to-end requirements for specific scenarios. Furthermore, customers can easily customize ECS Blueprints templates for their use cases, which is covered in detail in this post.
