Use Pulumi Crosswalk to deploy a basic load balanced ECS service
Pulumi is an infrastructure as code framework for software engineers. Instead of writing YAML to define your infrastructure you can use higher level SDK commands, in a familiar programming language, and Pulumi will create the necessary resources for you automatically.

const cluster = new aws.ecs.Cluster("cluster", {});
const lb = new awsx.lb.ApplicationLoadBalancer("lb", {});
