Summary

In this chapter, we learned about Docker containers and the ECS offering from AWS. We created a Docker image of our example aws-code-pipeline microservice and deployed it to the ECS infrastructure. In addition to this, we also expanded our knowledge of the CodeDeploy service and learned how to deploy an application to the ECS infrastructure using CodeDeploy. In the next chapter, we will learn about the AWS CodePipeline service and how to apply our knowledge to automatically deploy code to AWS from a developer check-in.
