Does this skill support AWS Fargate?

Yes, these deployment strategies and configurations are fully compatible with both ECS EC2 and Fargate launch types.

How does the deployment circuit breaker work?

The circuit breaker monitors the rollout for failed tasks or health check issues and can automatically stop and roll back the deployment to the last stable version.

Do I need to use Terraform with this skill?

While Terraform templates are provided for infrastructure management, the skill also includes Boto3 Python scripts for programmatic control over deployments.

Does it provide CI/CD integration examples?

Yes, it includes GitOps workflow examples using GitHub Actions to automate the build, push, and deployment process to ECS.

Can I use this for canary releases with weighted traffic?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for using Application Load Balancer (ALB) listener rules to shift traffic by percentage between stable and canary versions.

Deployment & DevOps

Implements advanced AWS ECS deployment patterns including rolling updates, blue-green, and canary releases using Terraform and Python.

About

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for managing container deployments on Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS). It equips Claude with the specific code patterns, Terraform configurations, and Boto3 scripts needed to execute safe, zero-downtime updates. From setting up automated rolling updates with deployment circuit breakers to orchestrating complex blue-green transitions via AWS CodeDeploy, this skill ensures production releases are reliable, observable, and easy to roll back in case of failure.

Key Features

Zero-downtime rolling update configurations with health monitoring
Deployment Circuit Breaker setup for automatic failure detection and rollback
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates for Terraform and Boto3 automation scripts
Weighted Canary release strategies for gradual traffic shifting
0 GitHub stars
Blue-Green deployment patterns using AWS CodeDeploy and ALB target groups

Use Cases

Setting up a high-availability CI/CD pipeline for containerized microservices
Implementing automated rollbacks for mission-critical production deployments
Migrating from manual updates to advanced GitOps-driven deployment workflows
